How to Prevent and Avoiding Digital Camera Shakes
Jan 12, 2010 Photography
How to Prevent and Avoiding Digital Camera Shakes. If ever you have seen a picture that is blurred, it is most probably because the camera was shaken while the picture was taken. With traditional photographic film cameras, it was evident only after the negatives and positives were made. However, with digital camera, the captured image can be seen immediately on the LCD screen, and if the image has shaken, then it can be discarded for a new shot.
Digital camera shakes are common with new users. This is primarily because, new users have not fully understood that the shutter-release button must not be pressed twice, but pressed two steps down. The first step locks the focus and exposure while the second step takes the photo. This pressing of the button has to be smooth, otherwise the digital camera shakes and a blurred picture is the result.

Read the rest of this entry »
Stone by Design: The Artistry of Lew French . When Lew French made his first stone fireplace at age nineteen, he didn’t expect to feel so drawn to the simple material. Twenty-eight years and countless projects later, he still feels awed by the presence stone has in a well-designed setting, whether it’s an artfully rendered remodel of a writer’s stone studio, a playful fireplace, or a carefully crafted garden pathway. This first collection of French’s work, filled with artistic inspiration for your own home or landscape, is a study in contrast: contemporary hearths of rustic slate, sculptured walls of both great granite slabs and stacked, rounded fieldstones.

Fashionable in Landscape Photography Art
Jan 8, 2010 Photography
Fashionable in Landscape Photography Art. Photography is the process, activity and art of creating still or moving pictures by recording radiation on a sensitive medium, such as a photographic film, or an electronic sensor. Light patterns reflected or emitted from objects activate a sensitive chemical or electronic sensor during a timed exposure, usually through a photographic lens in a device known as a camera that also stores the resulting information chemically or electronically. Photography has many uses for business, science, art and pleasure. Nowhere is the phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words” more true than in relation to landscape photography. Photography itself is less than 200 years old. In fact the term “photography,” which most people take for granted, was not coined until 1839. Landscape photography provided people with windows to distant worlds and cultures they would otherwise not be able to experience.
Land formations and natural wonders inspired early landscape photographers. Photos of the gold rush in the American west showed gold miners panning for gold along streams in spectacular settings. In the 1920s Scottish-born Ansel Adams documented the American west with his photographs of some of the most rugged, beautiful and dramatic wilderness landscapes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the Grand Tetons, and other mountain ranges. Laura Gilpin traveled the southwest to record American landscapes throughout most of the 20th century.
