"Superior"


In a hierarchy or tree structure of any kind, a superior is an individual or position at a higher level in the hierarchy than another (a "subordinate" or "inferior"), and thus closer to the apex. In business, superiors are people who are supervisors and in the military, superiors are people who are higher in the chain of command (superior officer). Superiors are given, sometimes supreme, authority over others under their command. When an order is given, one must follow that order and obey it or punishment may be issued.
A Religious Superior is the person to whom a cleric is immediately responsible under canon law. For monks, it would be the Abbot (or the Abbess for nuns); for friars, it would be the Prior, or, for Franciscans, the Guardian (Custos), for Minims, the Corrector; for diocesan priests, it would be the local Bishop. In religious orders with a hierarchy above the local community, there will also be superiors general and possibly provincial superiors above the local abbot, prior, or Mother Superior.

Assignment #15

Night Photography
     

In this assignment you will produce 10 night time pictures. There is only one requirement, you can not use your flash. Use instead the natural light sources around you ie. street lamps, yard lights, car lights and the moon. If you are using a 35 mm SLR camera open your aperture as wide as it goes so that you can absorb as much light as possible, and slow your shudder speed down. It is very important when you are doing this to either have your camera on a stationary surface or use a Tri-Pod to avoid camera shake and blur. Be creative consider the elements of photography and different perspectives
