Real reason people marries and they wont tell their partners


People get married for various reasons. A lot of reasons people get married for won't be revealed to their partners even wen asked trust me, cos wen u know d real reason ur partner is marrying or agreeing to marry U, you mite not just wana go ahead.

You would hear reasons like, I need a companion,because I love him/her bla bla bla...

While these mite be true ,deep down are som reasons u don't want to hear...which are possibly d main reasons she is accepting ur proposal or why d guy is proposing...

Basics of Photography: Editing Images in Post

 For our final photography lesson this week, we're going to talk about the final step: editing your images. We'll take a look at different kinds of techniques for color correction, touch ups, and a few other fun effects.

This lesson is really more of a roundup than anything because we've covered tons of photo editing tips and tricks in the past that it would be kind of redundant to re-write them all here. First things first, we have entire night school on Photoshop, including a lesson on color correction and touch ups, so you might want to start there. If you're looking for more, here are a bunch of handy tips and tricks to get your photos into shape.

Note: A lot of these tips are demonstrated in Photoshop, but not all of them are and many can be replicated in other (cheaper) image editors.

Basics of Photography: Composition and Technique

 A well-composed photograph is really a matter of opinion, but there are a few tricks that tend to result in better pictures. That's what we're going to take a look at today.

Rule of Thirds

The rule of thirds is the simplest rule of composition. All you do is take your frame and overlay a grid of nine equal sections. This means you split the vertical space into three parts and the horizontal space into three parts. 

The intersection points are where the eye tends to go first, so it's useful to place your subject on one of those points. People generally tend to aim for the center, but that's often less effective.

If you find the rule of thirds a little boring, try composing using Fibonacci's ratio.

Basics of Photography: Your Camera’s Manual Settings

 In the previous lesson we covered the basic settings on your camera. Today we're jumping into the fun stuff: manual mode. We'll learn the details about shutter speed, ISO, and aperture, as well as how those settings affect your photos. If you're following along with your camera, be sure to set it into manual mode so you can access every setting we're going to discuss.

Basics of Photography: Your Camera’s Automatic and Assisted Settings

 Now that you've got a pretty good idea of how the different parts of your camera work, we're going to take a look at its various settings. In this lesson we'll cover the basics, and in the following lesson we'll take a look at manual mode.

Here's a look at what we'll be covering today:

Shooting modes, or the different ways your camera can assist you in taking a photograph.

Flash modes and when to use them. What different image enhancement settings do and what they're good for. Shooting assistance functions, like auto focus.

A brief look at video mode.

Basics of Photography: Taking Better Photos by Understanding How Your Digital Camera Works

With so many cameras available, figuring out how all the specifications and options translate into your everyday use is complicated. For our first lesson in the Basics of Photography, we're going to learn how cameras work and make sense of what that means in terms of choosing a camera to buy and how it affects your photographs.

PHOTOGRAPHY FROM THE BEGINNING LESSON 4

Lesson 4: Light and Color

It probably shouldn't be surprising that every one of these lessons so far has talked about light to some extent. These are photography lessons, and photography means "light writing." Photography is about using the energy from light to create something permanent. There are different ways to do this, and each person can decide what they think is the best way (or ways) to interpret a given situation: what to emphasize and how to emphasize it. Lots of elements go into photography: composition, perspective, exposure, and focus to name a few. Some I've discussed (focus and exposure, for example). Some I don't feel qualified to talk much about (specifically composition). For almost every element of photography, though, a little knowledge about light goes a long way to help improve control. This lesson will be about the basics of light and color (one of its characteristics). 

(Visible) Light and Color

So what exactly is light? Ask a physicist and they'll tell you it's an electromagnetic wave and that it comes in small packets of energy called photons. They would also tell you a photon of light will have more or less energy depending on what the frequency of the wave is (higher frequency = higher energy). But this general description isn't terribly helpful for photography, so we should get one thing straight early on: the light we're almost always talking about in photography is light you can see—what's called the visible spectrum.

PHOTOGRAPHY FROM THE BEGINNING LESSON 3

Lesson 3: Focus and Metering

Sometimes people see me with my camera and ask me, "So what's the big deal with a camera like that? What can it do that my point and shoot can't do?" The simplest answer is almost nothing. But everything that they do, a single lens reflex does better and/or faster than a point and shoot, and in my opinion the price difference (twice as much, more or less) is worth it if you're really interested in photography. For example, SLRs have bigger sensors, better available lenses, more artificial lighting options (flashes), more sophisticated metering, and quicker and more accurate autofocus. All of these things add up to more consistently good images, even if the extra controls on the SLR can be a bit daunting if you're used to a point and shoot camera. This lesson will discuss a couple of those differences, specifically focus and light metering systems. The next lesson, which will be on light and color, will cover flashes as part of that.

Focus

I think the best way to start a discussion of focus is with a bit of physics (an admittedly biased view). Lenses change the direction of light that passes through them. So how do you change the direction? There are two ways to do it: refraction and reflection. Reflecting lenses (ones based on mirrors) are rarely used in general photography because of the way that out-of-focus objects look, but since astronomers are almost always looking at things that are basically infinitely far away, they make sense for them and are used almost exclusively mostly because they have no chromatic aberration (see below), but also because they offer size, weight, and cost benefits.

PHOTOGRAPHY FROM THE BEGINNING LESSON 2

Lesson 2: 

Sensors and File Formats There are really two kinds of sensors that you can use for photography: electronic (digital cameras) and chemical (film cameras). Both depend on the fact that light has energy that can be released when the light is absorbed.

Film

Basically, when light hits certain molecules in the film, it changes them so that after you put the film through various chemical baths during development, light of certain colors can or can't pass through the film. So the number of the light-sensitive molecules that change in a certain area during exposure leaves a record of how much light was absorbed by that area. Then after developing the film, that information can be extracted by shining light through the film again. The standard size film for single-lens reflex cameras is 36mm x 24mm (35mm film).

PHOTOGRAPHY FROM THE BEGINNING LESSON 1 - CONTD

Actually, that brings us to another important thing: it's not just subject motion that you want to stop—there's also camera motion. If you've ever shot a gun, you know that it's impossible to hold something completely steady. If you've shot a gun with a scope, which essentially magnifies your gun sights, you know that as you zoom in your body's shakiness is even more apparent. You can improve things by resting your gun on something steady or even changing your posture.

PHOTOGRAPHY FROM THE BEGINNING

 


Introduction

This started as a series of emails that I sent to someone who had just bought a digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR) who asked for advice on how to take good pictures with it. It’s a collection of things learned reading and discussing photography with my friends and family. It’s meant to be short enough that someone would read it even if the last book they read voluntarily was Skinnybones in the 5th grade.
 While keeping it short, I’ve tried to go into the technical details that are most important if you want to understand what all the settings do on an SLR if you just decided to leave the world of point-and-shoot cameras with their abysmal response times. This isn’t to say that I think point-and-shoot users can’t benefit from reading this, but with some cameras it's hard to change the settings I talk about here and with some you just can't change them. Forgive me for getting wordy where I talk about digital sensors.
The main reason I spend so much time there is because I’ve seen that it takes some convincing to get people to use their camera’s raw format instead using of jpegs. I think once you understand how digital sensors work, it’s almost painful to use jpegs knowing what you’re throwing away, especially with memory so cheap these days. One more thing: just because I love SLRs doesn’t mean that I don’t like point-and-shoot cameras. I had a Canon point-and-shoot that I loved until I started trying to take pictures of my son. Frankly, I think they just don’t cut the photographic mustard for kids since it’s hard to tell a kid, “Hold that pose for a second while the camera gets ready to take the picture.
