Cameras specs Simplified

This article is especially for those people who are always been fascinated by the photography but found all those loads of setting option a bit confusing.

If you are the one always clicking picture on auto mode just because the settings window makes the things complicated, time to make a switch and learn the finer details of the functions.

Shutter Speed

After crossing the aperture there is another sort of curtain called shutter. Once the light cross the aperture it is the shutter that decides for how long this light will hit the camera.

How to use it while taking pictures: Allow it too much time and your image will start turning white and allow it too little time and the picture will be too dark.

Aperture

Aperture can be thought of as a circular curtain inside the lens which determines the amount of light going into the camera. The value of aperture signifies how much this curtain is open to let the light come in, it is measured in fractions. A larger value of Aperture is suitable for low light photography.

Example: Aperture vale ½ is greater than ¼ this signifies that the curtain is wider open at ½ than at ¼.

How to use it while taking pictures:  Adjust the value of aperture according to the light present like if you are shooting at night the aperture should be large so to have good image quality.

ISO

ISO is the measure of the sensitivity of your camera towards the light. The higher the ISO, the more sensitive is the camera, meaning it needs lesser light to create an image.

DEPTH OF FIELD

The Depth of Field (DoF) of a particular photograph essentially refers to the area in front and behind the intended point of focus. The more the depth of field, the more you will have in focus in your image and smaller the depth of the field the more the background will be blur.

BRACKETING SHOTS

Bracketing is a method where the camera takes a number of shots simultaneously at different exposure values. Normally this would be a “0” exposure i.e the value determined by your light meter as ideal. This is an extremely handy method for shooting High Dynamic Range images.

Light Meter

A light meter is a little module the measure how much the light is coming into the camera and considering all other factors generate a “good” exposure based on the preset parameters. This tells you how much the aperture and shutter speed should be set for the best images.

Unfortunately is not always correct so always review your images after shooting. 

Hope we a simplified things for you....makeituseful..!!!

Lets You Experience Android From The Computer

If you’ve never used BlueStacks before, it’s a way to bring the Android platform to you right from your desktop or laptop. It works with both Windows and Mac, too

While BlueStacks doesn’t emulate the entire Android experience, it’s easily the best and smoothest solution to running Android apps from your computer. The most awesome feature of the BlueStacks software is cloud connectivity. This means you can actually sync your Android phone with BlueStacks to immediately carry over apps, updates, photos, text messages, and more.

This feature opens up a lot of things that you and I could get into. Work at your PC but not interested in always checking your phone for text messages? Text from your desktop. It’s faster.
BlueStacks is extremely sleek and easy to learn to use. The MY APPS page is the equivalent of a home screen. It looks like this:

Everything is as simple as pointing and clicking. Mouse gestures like clicking and dragging down or swiping are fluid in emulating finger gestures on your touchscreen. BlueStacks’ settings menu will also allow you to customize certain options that aren’t as comfortable when translating from a touchscreen phone to your desktop:

And who could forget about Android games? When I first heard about this Android app emulator, that was my immediate reaction. Along with that, I had to assume that games would skip, lag, and respond terribly. That isn’t the case at all. Everything is incredibly smooth
I had originally checked out BlueStacks just to get a feel for Android. I’m an iOS guy and I’ve actually never played with the Android platform. What I got out of this software is a whole new realm of games and neat software that I’ll eventually even be able to sync to a device if I do choose to pick up an Android phone. Awesome stuff......just make it usefull..!!
