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..!!!

Get All Your Movies and TV Shows Sitting in PC’S, On Ipad and Tablet

Here is the way to get media library from your PC to your tablet/Ipad without actually transferring the files. At least not anymore.

If you have a meticulously arranged collection of movies and TV shows sitting on multiple hard drives, connected to the PC. The question now arises as how to get all of them on your tablet without transferring that whole huge amount of data actually…..So here is solution for Android  and iPad…..

The Plex application bundle……Plex is a media centre application that will aggregate the media in the folder you point it towards.

SETUP PLEX

Plex has two components

SERVER  APP: need to be install on the pc containing all the media that you wish to share on the portable devices.

Once you have installed the app on PC you’ll need to point the server to the folder which contains the media files. The app is capable of updating the change in the content of the folder.

This application is free to download for Windows, Mac and Linux operating system.

CLIENT APP : it is need to be install on your tablets and iPad and can be download from apple and android markets. Even you can get in on windows phone also.

This app is basically meant to access the library and view content, and within that, you get the decent amount of tweaks and settings for pictures and sound quality.

Plex media server can send media to devices running plex client. Both machine need to be connected to the same network. Once you have the server app up and running on the same network, open the client on and device and within few second the library being broadcast by the server will appear on the device.

We have tested the app on both iOS and Android and it is very good. It was able to stream a 1080p video file over wireless network without any stutters...So give it a try,...make it use full

Stream audio to your android via Wi-Fi

Imagine you've install a great home theatre with a large HD display and you want to watch a movie at night without disturbings others you will have to use headphones with long wire... And what if you have a friend..... you will need a pair of earphones with a hardware that can split a single output so to use more than one earphone.

What if you could do all this for free with your android phone???....

All you need is a PC, SEVER SOFTWARE, AND AN ANDROID APP CALLED SOUNDWIRE

SoundWire is a simple app which routes all audio from your PC to android device via local wireless network.

Now we comes to how to setup all this:

First you have to setup a server which is very simple.

#Go http://georgielabs.net from your PC and download the server based on your operating system (window, linux, apple or any other) and install it.

# Open the application it will look as shown below

Server window will show your IP address, the status and number of devices connected.
If you are using any DVD player or external media player you can choose from the list else it can be left as "Default Multimedia Device".

# Now on your phone simple to go the play store and install SoundWire ( the only difference between the paid and free version is that the former allows multiple users to connect to the same server at the same time)

# Once the app is installed all you have to do is enter the IP address of the server (pc) and hit the large SOUNDWIRE icon.

You might get issues with audio delay and the audio and video might not be in sync...... To resolve that we suggest to set the audio bit rate to low number.......

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..!!
