Water Damaged Digital Camera
By: Date: November 11, 2019 Categories: Camera

A camera is essential for recording special memories. Wherever you go, there is always the danger that the camera meets its nemesis, water. The microprocessor and electronic components of a digital camera cannot withstand water. Water damage a digital camera would usually encounter can come from spilled drinks, pool splashes, rain, or worse seawater immersion.

After the initial panic, what do you need to do when your camera gets wet? First thing is to assess whether the wetness is just on the surface or whether it has penetrated the insides of the camera. If it is just surface splashes, wipe it off. But the number one thing to remember is to never turn on your camera if it is off but immediately turn it off if it is on. Keeping it on puts it at a risk of a short …

Camera Upgrade or Not
By: Date: November 2, 2019 Categories: Camera

My first digital SLR was a Canon Rebel and I used it for a long time till the camera exceeded its life expectancy as far as use. So I upgraded to a Canon 50 D which was a terrific upgrade with new features that expanded my skills as a photographer. This upgrade had given me a better frame per second burst and a much larger ISO sensitivity rang. And by staying with the same brand of camera I could use my lenses I purchased for my old camera on my new camera. So when you find technology is far beyond what your current camera will do, you might think about making that upgrade.

Another reason to make that upgrade is if you’re freelancing and depending on just one camera to get by with, this could eventually be a problem. Not …

Fun Photo Effects

Shooting Lightning – Isn’t it amazing how photographers are able to shoot lightning? Well the process is really simple. All you just need is a wide – open landscape with lightning strikes, a tripod and your camera

Long exposures are required to capture lightning as it passes through the atmosphere. Well, some photographers are comfortable with really long exposures (some lasting between five to seven minutes)

“Cut” the exposures into bite-sized pieces (about 30 seconds each). Combine all the photos were you recorded the featured lightning strikes and combine them all into one photo. This can be done with Adobe Photoshop if you are comfortable with it.

You could still get good photos if you are not comfortable with image editing software. Just get a good tripod stand to keep your camera still during the exposure to reduce image noise …

Whether you search for the brand Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Casio, Kodak, Sony, Fuji or Panasonic, all these digital cameras can be obtained in both store sales and online for the lowest price.

Message vs Technicality
By: Date: November 1, 2019 Categories: Photography

For photography enthusiasts, they believe that the “message” trumps the overall technicalities in a picture. Simply put, even if you use a simple camera with zero editing, as long as you captured a “perfect” moment then that is already something worth hanging on your walls.

This is a more newbie oriented approach on photography although this should be imbibed by photographers worldwide. Their justification behind this is that photographs should not be works of perfection but of instant and candid slices of time. Editing will just destroy this sanctity.

However, there are photography followers that believe in the technicalities more than the message itself. They believe that photographs are all diamonds in the rough that need to be refined to truly shine.

This is why they use a multitude of accessories and software that “enhance” photos. With the current technology, …
