Oh, you mean the one that's pretty much going to wipe out 75% of the pacific seaboard between the quake itself and the resulting tsunamis? lol
The tsunami would be bad. I was just at the coast for a week, and everywhere I went, I would look for the quickest way to get to high ground.
Any building built of brick or concrete blocks is going to experience heavy damage, as will many buildings built in valleys. My home is built on rock, and after I make the necessary engineering adjustments this winter, will be supported fully by wood. As such, my house should survive just fine.
I'm also super bad and ride in ballet flats too.. I can ride in heels if I really set my mind to it. And I can drive stick in heels too. I'm really proud of that
The other remedy besides fill light is to diffuse the unidirectional light. Indoor light sources can be covered by thin gauzy materials, opaque glass or plastic, or some other material that will spread out the light and make it less unidirectional. The closer you can get this material to the light source, the more light you can get through to your subject, but be careful, as lights can get mighty hot and burn many materials that touch the light bulb.
Outdoors, the situation is different, since there is no way to place a diffuser over the sun. However, for small subjects, especially for macropghotography (close-up photography), you can use a thin, opaque diffuser to scatter the light and soften it. If you take a lot of these photos, buying a photographic disc diffuser is a good investment, but if you don’t do this frequently, a couple friends and a thin, white sheet will do much the same thing.
The trick here is to get the opaque surface as close to your subject as possible without it getting into the frame of your photo. The farther from your subject you get, the less light will get through, and the surface will shade your subject rather than soften the light.
Yes, yes that’s me wearing socks with sandals. Get your jokes out of the way now – I’ll wait……… We done? Good.
I also realize the sun isn’t actually shining in this photo, but the sun has scarcely been out for the past week. You get the general idea, though.
This particular diffuser folds up into a third of the size shown and is quite portable. I happen to own the largest size available, but smaller sizes are for sale as well.

my grandfather lives in christchurch new zealand where the quake devastated thousands of houses and buildings. His house is totaled.

That's great to hear!
When we were on our honeymoon we were like, literally on the beach. We watched a special on tsunamis right before going to bed, and it took my husband forever to fall asleep because he kept trying to listen for the waves hitting the shore and trying to figure out what exactly the ocean receding would sound like.

I never thought about too much light being bad, but I suppose it can be just as detrimental to photo as too little light.

so its almost like a car window shade for kids but in white?
my grandfather lives in christchurch new zealand where the quake devastated thousands of houses and buildings. His house is totaled.
And Christchurch experienced only a moderate quake. Their problem was all the brick buildings. I think a lot of Christchurch is built on fill rather than rock, as well. Compare it to Chile, which has stringent building laws and experienced an exponentially more powerful quake last year (?). The damage was minimal. Unfortunately, the PNW has the same level of preparedness as Christchurch did.

There would be no sound, because the crashing waves would be so far from the shore.

its also that the land is a lot of old volcanic rock etc so its unstable
I've only been in control in flip flops once and it was for about half a mile lol. But my husband has refused to let me on the back of his bike until I went back inside and put on something that covered my toes more than once lol
so its almost like a car window shade for kids but in white?
Kinda. It should be sheer enough to let light through, but have some body to it so that it scatters and softens the light. That's why I suggested the thin, white sheet as a comparison.

That was exactly what kept him up, knowing that there wouldn't be a sound except for "wow, that wave sounds kinda close" as it comes rushing in the back door.
OK, let’s take a little break and ask a trivia question. As always, if you’ve been reading the articles I post on the Eden Clubs and Events Blog, you stand a much, much better chance at winning. Are we ready?

Mine bitches too. Tells me "Good God you have a hundred pairs of shoes (not true) and thats all you can think to cover your feet with!"
