Want sharper images at lower shutter speeds?  Famous photographer Joe McNally shows us a tip on how to hold your camera to achieve this.

Most people are a“right eye” shooter normally, but I’m going to try this technique using my left eye instead and see what happens.  He says that you’ll be able to shoot at shutter speeds (while hand-holding your camera) that you never thought possible.  Give it a try and see what happens!  Check out the video at the end of this post.

The digital camera - Blown highlights -canon digital cameras - a view.  An article on understanding what Blown highlights are.

The histogram function on digital cameras is a picture lifesaver. Before digital there was no way of seeing blown highlights or dramatically underexposed areas, but today you can quickly assess the image and its histogram and correct the exposure to get it close to perfect.
One of the important uses of the histogram on the camera is ensuring that there are no blown or burned out highlights in pictures.
Loss of details in the highlights is the biggest problem with digital images. In most cases there will be details left to salvage in the dark areas, but once the light areas go pure white (or pure any color - you can also blow one color channel at the time), there is nothing left to save.

Blown-out highlights is the enemy number one of the digital photographer, and they should be avoided using all means. Unless it’s a goal in itself to overexpose, like in high key pictures, you should try your best to avoid loosing details in the light areas of the picture. Details can often be found in the dark areas, but once they are gone in the highlights, that’s it. They’re gone.

This can be avoided by looking at the histograms.

magnavox portable dvd player and other portable dvd players:  a buying guide for you.  Now that DVD players have been popular for quite a number of years, prices are quite reasonable. Single disc players well under $100 abound providing options for almost every budget. For many people a single disc player meets their needs nicely as they can view only one DVD movie at a time anyway. For some consumers however, other features are well worth a few extra dollars.

One of the first options buyers have to consider is whether or not a multi-disc or mega storage type of DVD player would be a good choice for them. While some multi-disc players allow users to keep up to 4 or 5 discs in the player at any given time, others can store up to 400 discs.

Multi-disc DVD players offer four primary advantages for consumers:

• Ease of Use: Multi-disc DVD players allow users to keep multiple discs in the player which can eliminate time spent shuffling through discs and loading them. Most have good search functions that allow users to easily find the disc they want and to initiate play with the push of a button from their remote control. In the case of a large collection of discs this is a particularly attractive option.

The perfect DVD Player for you is the one that best meets your needs – it should have the features that matter most to you. For instance, if you still have (and watch!) a lot of VHS tapes then a DVD/VCR Combo Player is a good choice. These are extremely affordable and provide the familiarity of a VCR Player with the enhanced music and movie quality of DVD. You can use it to record your favourite TV shows on VHS, watch movies on DVD and listen to your audio CD’s. If you want to archive your VHS tapes consider a DVD Recorder which offer convenient tape-free recording with the functionality of a DVD Player. You can also back up home movies onto DVD. There are a variety of writeable and rewriteable formats available to enable you to use the right disc for the right job.

A big part of choosing the right player is ensuring it has all the necessary connections to perform with your other audio visual equipment. Nearly all current DVD Players have at least three video jacks – composite, S-video and component. Component inputs are typically only found on mid-priced to high end TV’s made in the last few years. The component connection provides the best picture quality. If your TV only has an antenna style RF input you will need to install an RF modulator between the TV and DVD Player. Also a DVD/VCR Combo might be worth considering as some can pass DVD signals through their RF output.

It’s just plain sexy, the idm portable dvd player.  A portable player lets you watch a movie anytime, anywhere — perfect for long trips or waits between flights. While you can also play movies on a notebook computer that has a built-in DVD drive, portable DVD players are often smaller and lighter, and may offer more playback options.

Portable DVD players look much like small laptop computers minus the keyboard.  Most have a 5- to 10-inch screen (measured diagonally) with a clamshell-style cover that protects the screen when it’s not in use.  Others use a tablet style; the screen is always exposed, which might make it easier to see if the player is on your lap. Convertible models feature displays that fold back so that the player can be used in either laptop or tablet mode.
