Photography Field Trip - Singapore River Walk (17-03-2012)

Some Photo Tips:
Try to take candid pictures without Flash.
Try not to take pictures with the camera facing the sun.
You will not get good pictures. But if you have to, in particular taking a portrait, then turn on the flash for the face.
Place your main subject with the one-third rule.
For those having trouble holding the camera steady or if you want a sharper image,
try setting the digital camera program to "Sport" mode.
Set the image quality to high. That is, the image should have an image size of near to or more than 1MB (resolution). As a guide, if you want to reproduce any picture to paper print (post card size), it should at least have an image size of 300K bytes.
Pictures tell a thousand words. So, how do the professionals do it? View their works and learn from them. Pictures form a very important part in communication with us. Every one of us sees and interprets a picture differently. A picture/photo is like the music and the art. It has depth, space and evokes our feelings besides bringing the facts in front of our eyes.
Basic Photography
Depth of Field:
Depth of field is the distance between the nearest and the farthest objects in an image judged to be in acceptable focus.  The focal length and the aperture of the lens you’re using and your focused distance governs your depth of field. Long focal length (e.g. telephoto zoom lens) has lesser depth of field. Short focal length (e.g. wide-angled lens) has greater depth of field. With other things being equal, using smaller aperture can achieve greater depth of field.

F-stops:
F-stops are the measure of the size of the opening or aperture in the lens. Remember, the larger the f-stop number, the smaller the aperture. The smaller the f-stop, the larger the aperture and the more light the lens will let through to the image sensor. Aperture Priority (fixed f-stop) is good for low-light conditions.

Dealing with Insults ... Lord Buddha

Beautiful Quotes ...

If you are right then there is no need to get angry
And if you are wrong then you don't have any right to get angry.


Patience with family is love,
Patience with others is respect,

Patience with self is confidence and
Patience with God is faith.

Never Think Hard about PAST,
It brings Tears ...
Don't Think more about FUTURE,

It brings Fears ...
Live this Moment with a Smile,
It brings Cheers!

Every test in our life makes us bitter or better,
Every problem comes to make us or break us,
Choice is ours whether we become victim or victorious!

Search a beautiful heart not a beautiful face.
Beautiful things are not always good,
but good things are always beautiful.

Remember me like a pressed flower in your Notebook.
It may not be having any fragrance,
but will remind you of my existence forever in your life.

Do you know why God created gaps between fingers?
So that someone who is special to you,
comes and fills those gaps by holding your hands forever.
