Photographic Lens 2007-09-19 03:46:00 A photographic lens (also known as objective lens or photographic objective) is an optical lens or assembly of lenses used in conjunction with a camera body and mechanism to make images of objects either on photographic film or on other media capable of storing an image chemically or electronically.
While in principle a simple convex lens will suffice, in practice a compound lens made up of a number of optical lens elements is required to correct (as much as possible) the many optical aberrations that arise. Some aberrations will be present in any lens system. It is the job of the lens designer to balance these out and produce a design that is suitable for photographic use and possibly mass production.
There is no difference in principle between a lens used for a camera, a telescope, a microscope, or other apparatus, but the detailed design and construction are different. A lens may be permanently fixed to a camera, or it may be interchangeable with lenses of different focal lengths, a Read more:Photographic
About SLR Camera 2007-09-19 03:32:15 HISTORY OF SLR CAMERA.
The history of the single-lens reflex camera began in the early 20th century, but it was not until the 1960s that the format became popular. It remains the camera design of choice for most professional and ambitious amateur photographers.The single-lens reflex concept was developed in the early 1900s with large format equipment. Graflex of the United States and Konishi in Japan produced SLR cameras as early as 1909 and 1907 respectively.[1] While SLR cameras were not very popular at the time, they proved useful for some work.
These cameras were used at waist level; the ground glass screen was viewed directly, using a large hood to keep out the light. In most cases, the mirror had to be raised as a separate operation before the shutter could be operated.Following camera technology in general, SLR cameras became available in smaller and smaller sizes; medium format SLRs soon became common; at first larger box cameras, and later “pocketable” models such Read more:Camera

JPEG ENHANCER 2007-09-26 08:08:52 As everyone knows, JPEG (.jpg) image compression doesn’t save all the information in an image. It compresses images so consume only a small amount of disk space (e.g. compared with .bmp), but also damages them with a “blotchy look” and “JPEG artifacts”. Most graphics editors have JPEG as a default format. And almost all digital photo cameras save images in JPEG format.
Jpeg Enhancer is a simple and extremely powerful program that lets you restore the images damaged by low-quality JPEG compression.
It uses a unique technique that allows even novices to remove the so-called “JPEG artifacts” and the “blotchy look” from their images easily, quickly and effectively.
Unlike all other tools, our science-intensive technology doesn’t damage your photos simply by blurring them, but restores them, so your images will look as they did before being damaged by JPEG compression!

Understanding Composition 2007-10-14 10:59:17 I try to search the simplest way to understand me about the composition in the term of photography. And i found it as i published below to share with other,it is very simple explanation to understand.
“If you, an artist, the one who cannot manage figures,
you look like an orator who cannot manage words.”
Leonardo da Vinci
DEFINITION OF COMPOSITION
Composition
is defined as the combining of distinct parts or elements to form a whole. In photography that definition is very important in taking quality pictures. The following rules of composition should be learned and considered but not necessarily used in every photo. Once you have learned these rules you will be more observant of the possible photo opportunities that surround you. But keep in mind that the really famous photographers usually find a creative way to stretch or break the rules of composition.

Ricoh Caplio GX100 2007-10-12 00:17:43
This is another point and shoot digital camera which performed as good as digital slr camera. I think it is good for beginner who just started to learn of using DSLR camera. Herewith, i stipulated a few review about this digital camera for our considerations :
The GX100 can capture JPEGs, as well as (three cheers!) simultaneous JPEG and RAW files…The first frame will take about 4 seconds to process, and subsequent frames only get slower. Not the setting for action shots! The GX100 is a highly competent camera that’s easy and fun for both the casual shooter and the serious enthusiast to use. We like it. But we’d like it more if it cost a little less and had less noise at high ISOs.
Reviewed by Popphoto
Photographers who are looking for a capable, full-featured digicam with good performance plus a high degree of user adjustability will find the Caplio GX100 meets many of their needs. It’s a pity Ricoh didn’t use a larger sensor chip and we don’t feel it necessary to compromi
ISO SPEED 2007-10-10 23:55:57 ISO speed is the third element that “makes” a photo. It is usually expressed with the following numbers:
50 | 100 | 200 | 400 | 800 | 1600 | 3200
These numbers tell you how “fast” does the digital sensor react to the light sent through the aperture and shutter.A small number means that it takes a relatively long time to take a photo, a large number, a very short time.But things are relative in using the right ISO setting. On an average digital camera, the ISO goes from 50 to 400.
The ISO speed 50 is usually used on bright sunny days, while the 200 and 400 ISO is used in low light conditions (like interiors or at night)There is also a problem with the image quality regarding the ISO speed. At large numbers, 400, 800, the image will contain “noise”, so use the low ISO speed as much as possible.Here is a table that will further explain how the aperture, shutter speed and ISO speed are used TOGHETHER to “make” an image.

Shutter Speed 2007-10-10 23:30:54 Shutter speed is the measurement (in fractions of a second) of time the camera’s shutter allows light to strike the film or censor.
It is used to freeze action, create smooth waterfalls and eliminate camera shake from the operator.
The standard shutter speeds include the following:
1s 1/2s 1/4s 1/8s 1/15s 1/30s 1/60s 1/125s 1/250s 1/500s 1/1000s
<—- More exposure…………………………..Less exposure —->
You’ll notice that each speed is half that of the preceding one. This is known as halving/doubling. Each speed either halves or doubles the amount of time light allowed to strike the film or sensor of the preceding speed. Modern cameras are able to use settings in-between the above to give greater exposure accuracy.
Most modern cameras can exceed 1/1000 of a second and can often reach 1/8000s. Most SLR cameras also have a B (Bulb) setting that allows you to ho Read more:Shutter

What is Aperture? 2007-10-10 23:24:06 In photography APERTURE is very common we heard. Some beginner are very scared of it. Don’t worry i think a i have a short and precise explanation about aperture which done by Ben Johnson
It is very short and easy to understand it. Let read it!!
The Aperture is the variable opening of the camera lens and controls the amount of light that strikesthe film or censor. Each variation is referred to as an f-stop. Imagine the aperture of the lens is like a tap. The more you open a tap the more water pours through it. The more you open the lens aperture the more light pours through it. Remember, the shutter speed controls how long light is exposed to the film or censor, the aperture controls how much.
Like the shutter speed, each ’stop’ is half or double the preceding one.
Common f -stops are:
f/2.8 f/4 f/5.6 f/8 f/11 f/16 f/22

Fujifilm Finepix S8000fd review 2007-11-30 22:15:24 By Richard Butler and Simon Joinson at DPreview
Having recently taken its long zoom cameras into ever more DSLR-like territory, Fuji’s S8000fd is something of a departure. The S8000fd places a smaller sensor behind a much longer-range zoom lens in a less SLR-like body. Going head to head with the Panasonic FZ18 and Olympus SP560UZ the S8000fd is Fuji’s most ambitious zoom compact to date. It is also the first long-zoom camera from Fuji to offer image stabilization (in this case a CCD-shake system), which is offered by most competing brands and is pretty much essential with a zoom this long.
The S8000fd packs an awful lot into its compact body, and seems to be trying pretty hard to be all things to all people, with manual exposure controls sitting alongside point-and-shoot convenience features such as face detection. There is a high-speed shooting mode (at reduced resolution), and some extremely high sensitivity modes (again at lower resolution), for shooting in low light Read more:Fujifilm
