DIGITAL FILM MEMORY CARDS

   

Just like 35mm cameras need traditional "roll film", digital cameras need "digital film" memory cards to store pictures. Digital film comes in a number of formats, some more durable than others. The most popular formats are CompactFlash and Secure Digital (SD Card). When choosing a digital camera, you should consider the format of digital film that a camera uses.

Some formats, such as CompactFlash, allow additional features to be built into the memory card. For example, Lexar CompactFlash is speed rated to provide users with the minimum sustained write speed capable by the card with faster speeds helping the camera to perform at its best.

The number of images you can store in a memory card is based on the capacity of memory on the card, the resolution of your camera, and the quality selection you choose for the images and how the camera compresses the images. Before you settle on a specific size of memory card, be sure to get specific estimates from your camera manufacturer or reseller regarding how many pictures you can fit on a given-size card at each resolution.

Lexar makes memory cards in capacities of 32-megabytes to 8-Gigabytes. A 32-megabyte card in a 5-megapixel camera in high-resolution JPEG mode will store only about 12 images. While a 8-Gigabyte card will store more than 3000 images. When choosing a memory card, buy what you think you'll need for a maximum day's shooting. And remember, more memory means more pictures so buy more than you think you need. In the end, you'll be happy you did.

Most digital cameras include a starter memory card. Starter cards are usually low capacity memory cards that allow you to get started with your new camera right away, but ultimately become a source of frustration because of the limited number of images the camera is able to store. When you upgrade to a larger memory card, you can take more photos before you have to make decisions about which images to keep and which to delete. Most pro's use more than one memory card, filling one, inserting another, and continuing to shoot pictures just as they used to change the film. Pros will typically use 6 - 12 memory cards. Even if you're not that serious about photography, your best experience will be with 2 or 3 memory cards.

Some of the rationale for having more memory cards goes back to the fundamental difference between shooting digital versus film. With digital you no longer need to buy film. You can shoot pictures and never worry about the cost of film and developing, or even what the pictures look like, until you have a chance to cull them on your computer. You can even give the camera to a youngster to develop his or her photographic skills at virtually no cost. And you have the nearly instantaneous gratification of seeing the output increase the excitement. Don't let a simple thing like memory come between you and a photography experience of wanton abandon.

Camera Phone Definition

A camera phone is a mobile phone which has a camera built in. Philippe Kahn invented the camera phone in June 1997. The first commercial camera phone was the J-SH04, made by Sharp.

The cameras typically use CMOS image sensors. This is due largely to reduced power consumption compared to CCD type cameras, which are also used. The lower power consumption prevents the camera from quickly depleting the phone's battery.

Major manufacturers include Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, Siemens, Sony Ericsson, and LG Electronics.

THE INSTAGRAM

Instagram founders turn two years of work into $1bn – only in Silicon Valley

Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger have made their fortunes remarkably quickly, even by Silicon Valley standards

California has been famous since the gold rush for creating fortunes overnight. The Golden State was a dream factory for get-rich-quick schemes from pioneers with pickaxes to beautiful people aiming to be Hollywood stars. But only in Silicon Valley can a couple of 20-somethings turn less than two years of work into a $1bn (£630m) fortune.

Kevin Systrom, 28, joined the long line of technocrats turned plutocrats on Monday when he sold Instagram, a profitless photo sharing app that's less than two years old, for $1bn. He sold it to that other wunderkind, Mark Zuckerberg, 27, the Facebook founder whose social network is now worth an estimated $100bn.

PHOTO FAKING

History of Photo Faking

Almost as soon as the first photographs came out of cameras, people were using them to manipulate images.

Take, for example, the very famous portrait of Abraham Lincoln, standing with one hand on his desk. Analysis in the 20th century showed that his mole was on the wrong side of his face, and further research turned up a picture of North Carolina Congressman John Calhoun in exactly the same pose. Someone in the 1860s had taken Lincoln's face and pasted it onto Calhoun's body, and the resulting fake photo was spread all across the Union.

Through the Civil War, photo staging was much more common than photo editing. It was very difficult to get an "action" shot because of the long exposure times, so war photographers would pose their shots.

Later, through the early twentieth century, photo postcards showing monstrous fish, grasshoppers, and crops were very famous, and nearly all of them were made by merging two shots into the same frame. As the Dust Bowl ruined crops, the postcards of apples the size of watermelons and corn cobs as big as fireplace logs showed a very dark humor--almost a sick joke.

Video Camera History

It's incredible to think just how far camcorder technology has come and evolved from its humble beginnings. Video cameras, like all forms of technology and gizmos and gadgets, have improved and become more user-friendly and more innovative over the years. That's nothing new, and there's no reason to trump the advancement of the video camera onto a higher pedestal than anything else. But, when one looks at the history, timeline and growth of the video camera, it is remarkable to see where it has come from, where it has gone, and where it will venture to in the future.

When video camcorders first arrived on the scene, they were big, heavy and awkward contraptions that need tapes or reels. They either rested uncomfortably upon the shoulder, or stood on tripods or legs. Their movement and portability was severely hindered and limited by wires, cords or cables. They could only be operated and used by specially trained people. And they could only record and play back in black and white. Skip ahead a few decades where we now are upon the digital age, with digital video cameras. Some dwell in the higher price range, with all the requisite bells & whistles and features. And some are less expensive than others. Most of today's modern digital camcorders do not use tapes at all. Nowadays, today's Digital camcorders are built with a hard drive included in the unit, so that it can store the movie right on the device itself. Which, in and of itself, also shows how far computer technology has evolved over the years.

Camera Lenses

                                            

A camera lens (also known as photographic lens or photographic objective) is an optical lens or assembly of lenses used in conjunction with a camera body and mechanism to make images of objects either on photographic film or on other media capable of storing an image chemically or electronically.

While in principle a simple convex lens will suffice, in practice a compound lens made up of a number of optical lens elements is required to correct (as much as possible) the many optical aberrations that arise. Some aberrations will be present in any lens system. It is the job of the lens designer to balance these out and produce a design that is suitable for photographic use and possibly mass production.

There is no major difference in principle between a lens used for a still camera, a video camera, a telescope, a microscope, or other apparatus, but the detailed design and construction are different.

A lens may be permanently fixed to a camera, or it may be interchangeable with lenses of different focal lengths, apertures, and other properties.

DOVE

SOAP, LOTION, SHAMPOO and CONDITIONER

I always wanted to be pleasing to everyone that I needed something that can make me standout in the crowd

as a marketing student I must also be presentable every time for me to gain confidence in facing different people everyday.

there's a time when I got a skin irritation, dry hair and skin because of my allergy and so I went to a skin specialist.

they offered me different medicated soap for me to replenish my skin and turn it back ones more to its original form but, it never really help me to rebuilt my complexion.

One night I am watching a television and suddenly I saw an advertisement about skin solution soap and that is dove. I try it once and luckily what in the commercial's statement was true and it did really help me to regenerate my skin and since that day I use Dove as my personal soap.

since then, I've become a patroon of dove product from their Soap, Lotion and Even shampoo and conditioner. and so I trust DOVE.

I'm a DOVE girl

I’m a dove girl and I’m love it

The marketing agent that using the commercial in television wants their target market to feel what they like to feel like what the dove advertising do that they want their consumer to feel beautiful went they use the product and also they emphasis the benefits of their product. The marketing agent want to deliver to the consumer what really that product is all about.

The first time I saw the commercial of DOVE shampoo I got the feeling that if I use that product I will be beautiful like the lady in the commercial. I start to buy that product and until now I still using it because I still feel that emotions that this advertising that whoever uses their product will feel beautiful and also they tell about benefits of their products like that give the hair superior moisturization and internal repair and also reduce split ends.

Memory from picture

A picture can tell story of someone just seeing that picture that if you see that you may laugh of the old time. The single picture of a person can take a lifetime remembrance of her/his journey.

I like seeing picture because I know a picture is a memory of someone. Every time I see the picture that my friend from elementary that I see I used to think that it’s been a long time since that picture was taken and to think that years pass by so fast like a blink of an eye. Treasuring a single picture is what I like to do because I know went I grow old I just need to see the picture to remembered the past. Collecting picture is also a good hubby because we collect not just picture but also a story to be told someday. f

The meaning of photography for me is to take picture that I can to remember easily and to take picture beautifully and to its perfect timing. Learning to take beautifully picture is one that I want to know so that I can also take some pictures on my own.  Its may be hard to learn but I have the willingness to know how to take not just an ordinary picture but a beautiful one.

The photographic styles like landscapes, seascapes, underwater, underground, wildlife and flora; close-ups of flowers and insects; and representations of climates, weather, and seasons are examples of  nature photography. Nature is one of the best subjects in photography it’s because it describes the wonderful places that we have.
