Vi och alla andra på plats i Vilnius får helt enkelt nöja oss med helt vanlig basketutbildning under 3 dagar.
Men alla är nog nöjda ändå och gladast är förmodligen byggarbetarna som nu slipper att bygga in balkong i clinichallen, samt skapa en Luna Melle skylt, en Lokatidningen och sist men inte minst en Alfalaval skyllt samt en Eddie pumpad molten boll.

Back in May, I was in Singapore for a business trip. Manage to meet up with EP (a buddy of mine since university days) for a photo session in the evening. Just like the throng of tourist in Singapore, everybody wants a shot of the Merlion.

I took the following shot with my Tammy 17-50mm F2.8 lens. The interesting thing about this shot is, I have to balance the exposure for both the background and the foreground. I wanted to maintain enough lighting and sharpness for the background, while maintaining a sense of motion for the flowing water. This typically calls for a long exposure shot, but the tricky part is making sure the Merlion wasn't overexposed.

I set the camera at F6.3 with a shutter speed of 6 seconds, tripod mounted. ISO is at 100 to minimize noise. While adjusting for the perfect view, I literally place my index finger over the lens, making sure it covered just the Merlion. When I fire the shot, I maintained my index finger at the position for about 4 seconds before moving my finger away.

The background was fully exposed for 6 seconds, while the Merlion was only exposed for about 2 seconds. The result? An almost perfect exposure, with the texture on the Merlion still visible.

efendim, benim biricik hiper kiper süper fotoğraf makinem'ebir filtre daha aldım... hemde polarize, başlıktada görüldüğü üzere :) işin yanisini kısaca açıklamak gerekirse, makineye güneş gözlüğü taktım....
yaptığı iş ise çeşitli yansımaları kısıtlamak diyebiliriz...

Here's my most viewed picture on flickr.

A couple of weeks ago I was at Nieuwpoort for professional reasons. Around noon I managed to take this shot. Next to a fairly good composition it contains an certain amount of tension which makes I am quite satisfied with the result.

Coach Leman är förresten ny coach för Sanda Bg och ska jobba me killarna där medans Dennis Aulander tar tjejerna i år, om jag har förstått det hela rätt.

high dynamic range imaging (HDRI) is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range of exposures (the range of values between light and dark areas) than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention of HDRI is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to shadows.

Confused? Don't be. In simple terms, HDR is a photograph made up of several or many different photographs all taken at different exposures. No other setting on your camera need be changed, simply set up a good shot with your tripod and take 3 to 4 pictures of the same object at different exposures.

Where HDR becomes HDRI is in the processing of your picture. Adobe Photoshop CS3 comes with an HDR/Tonemapping tool pre-installed and there are a few great programs out there on the market that blend your collected photos into one tonemapped/HDR photograph.

The above shot is one by Green i Design's resident photographer as an example of how you can play with HDRI for a truely dramatic, bold effect.

Queridos amigos: a pedido del público, más bien de quien suele sugerir que hable menos, el Sr. JA, se trata de elegir las cinco mejores películas vistas en el curso al día de la fecha. Se puede hacer la votación poniendo los nombres de las películas con o sin comentarios sobre ellas, como también utilizar pseudónimos o sus propios nombres. De quienes voten cn su propio nombre, solo ellos, participarán de un sorteo. El premio: un viaje todo pago al Festival de Toronto y una revista de literatura, cuyo nombre es el de un animal, anfibio y cantor. (Roger Koza)

Peugeot va lansa cu ocazia Salonului Auto de la Paris din toamna noul 308 CC. Comparat cu principalii concurenti, VW Eos, Ford Focus sau Renault Megane, noul model are un look mult mai sportiv, mai ales cand acoperisul este ridicat. O apreciere pozitiva poate fi notata la nivelul parbrizului care este puternic arcuit deasupra postului de conducere. Astfel pasagerii sunt protejati de curentul generat de masina in mers.
Acoperisul retractabil cu care acest model este dotat se rabateaza electric in portbagaj in numai 20 de secunde si ocupa aproape 200 de litri din capacitatea de 465 a acestuia. Plansa de bord a 308-ului CC este aceiasi cu cea de pe hatchback-ul gamei, considerata a fi lidera in clasa sa. In schimb, Peugeot a dotat habitaclul cu patru scaune individuale sport anatomice. In premiera pentru un Peugeot, 308 CC introduce un sistem de incalzire a gatului pasagerilor asemanator celui existen pe Mercedes SLK.
Pentru moment, Peugeot va oferi 308 CC cu doar doua motorizari, una turbo de 1.6 litri si 150 CP alimentata cu benzina si o alta diesel de 2 litri si 140 CP. Ambele motorizari intrunesc standardele de poluare Euro 5 si pot fi asociate cu cutii de viteze manuale in sase trepte sau automate.

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jim_Back]Jim Back

The Canon EOS System is composed of Canon EOS camera bodies, lenses, Speedlite external flashes and several lens and camera accessories. This article will discuss the current line-up of Canon EOS camera bodies.

Canon has varied line-up of nine digital SLR camera models. The current production line-up includes four entry-level, three mid-level and two professional level bodies, though some would argue, the Canon EOS 5D should in fact be considered a pro level body. Only the lack of a weather-sealed body keeps it out of the professional ranks, although none would argue that its image quality is certainly up to "pro" standards. Of course, these level designation refer to the camera's features. There are numerous professional shooters using Rebel XTs and 40Ds. On the other hand, even 1Ds Mark III in inexperienced hands can produce rather poor images.

Entry level Canon EOS Cameras

Canon EOS Rebel XS (Canon EOS Rebel 1000d) - Canon's newest entry level DSLR. Canon apparently created an entirely new level of entry level camera. Combines features from the last three Rebel models. Features a new 10.1 Megapixel CMOS APS-C format sensor, a seven-point auto-focus system, and continues the trend of recent Canon EOS models by incorporating a 2.5 inch LCD Live View screen.) - Canon's oldest entry level DSLR, and is believed to be in the last stages of production. 8.0 Megapixel CMOS APS-C format sensor and a seven-point auto-focus system.

Canon EOS Rebel XT (Canon EOS Rebel 350D

Canon EOS Rebel XTi (Canon EOS Rebel 400D) - Replaced the Rebel XT. 10.1 Megapixel CMOS APS-C format sensor and an new nine-point auto-focus system. Also benefits by the addition of a larger 2.5 inch LCD screen.

Canon EOS Rebel XSi (Canon EOS 450D) -Replaced the Rebel XTi. 12.2 Megapixel CMOS APS-C format sensor and a refined nine-point auto-focus system. Also includes a brighter 3 inch LCD screen with new Live-View technology.

Mid-level Canon EOS cameras

Canon EOS 30D - Replaced the older Canon EOS 20D. 8.2 Megapixel CMOS APS-C format sensor, improved nine-point auto-focus system, and a step up from the 20D with a larger 2.5 inch LCD Screen.

Canon EOS 40D - First Canon DSLR to include the new Live-View technology. Users could for the first time, compose their shoots without having to look through the viewfinder. Received a larger 3 inch LCD screen. 10.1 Megapixel CMOS APS-C format sensor, nine-point-point auto-focus system.

- Canon EOS 5D - Full-frame .12.8 Megapixel DSLR features a nine-point auto-focus system and a smallish 2.5 inch LCD screen. Since the 5D is a full-frame camera there is no lens focal length conversion factor. Canon EF-S lenses will not work on this body.

Professional Level Canon EOS Cameras

Canon EOS 1D Mark III - The top of the line for professional sports shooters with its 10fps frame rate. 10.1 Megapixel APS-H format sensor, 45-point auto-focus system, and a new 3 inch Live-View LCD screen. Being a professional level camera, it also get a fully weather-sealed, magnesium body.

Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III - The ultimate Canon DSLR A professional level camera in every sense of the word. 21.1 Megapixel full-frame sensor, new 3 inch Live View LCD screen, and a 45-point advanced auto-focus system. Uses two DIGIC III processors. Easily the most advanced Canon EOS Camera so far.

Canon EOS Camera System

Each Canon EOS camera is designed to work with other components of the Canon EOS DSLR System. This includes an extensive line of Canon EF and EF-S mount lenses, as well as several models of external flash units and macro flash units. The Canon EOS Camera System is the most complete line-up of DSLR camera bodies in existence today.

After Cleaning, originally uploaded by William WM.

This is the amount of dust on the sensor after my first attempt at cleaning it with the "Sensor Swab" and Eclipse cleaner:

You can find a tutorial video on the cleaning process here:

Not perfect, but a lot better than it was before. I'd imagine that another pass would get it even cleaner than this.

(I found this by taking a photo of a pure-white image on my LCD at ISO 100, f/22, macro focus at full zoom, then ran it through "Auto Levels" in Paint.NET)

Before Cleaning, originally uploaded by William WM.

This was the amount of dust on the sensor of my 30D before I cleaned it; notice the large amounts of black/grey specks on the image.
