Try turning the ISO down on ur camera

10 basic tips 1. Hold It Steady A problem with many photographs is that they're blurry. Avoid 'camera shake' by holding the camera steady. Use both hands, resting your elbows on your chest, or use a wall for support. Relax: don't tense up. You're a marksman/woman holding a gun and it must be steady to shoot. 2. Put The Sun Behind You A photograph is all about light so always think of how the light is striking your subject. The best bet is to move around so that the sun is behind you and to one side. This front lighting brings out color and shades, and the slight angle (side lighting) produces some shadow to indicate texture and form. 3. Get Closer The best shots are simple so move closer and remove any clutter from the picture. If you look at most 'people' shots they don¹t show the whole body so you don't need to either. Move close, fill the frame with just the face, or even overflow it. Give your shot some impact. Use a zoom to crop the image tighter. 4. Choose A Format Which way you hold the camera affects what is emphasized in your shot. For tall things (Redwoods, Half Dome) a vertical format emphasize height. Use a horizontal format to show the dramatic sweep of the mountains. 5. Include People Photographs solely of landscape and rocks are enjoyable to take but often dull to look at. Include some of your friends, companions, family, or even people passing by, to add human interest. If there's no one around, include yourself with the self-timer. Have you ever got your photos back only to discover that something that looked awe-inspiring at the time looks dull on paper? This is because your eye needs some reference point to judge scale. Add a person, car, or something of known size to indicate the magnitude of the scenery. 6. Consider Variety You may take the greatest shots but if they're all the same type or style, they may be dull to look at. Spice up your collection by adding variety. Include landscapes and people shots, close ups and wide angles, good weather and bad weather. Take personal shots that remember the 'being there' - friends that you meet, your hotel/campsite, transportation, street or hiking signposts. 7. Add Depth Depth is an important quality of good photographs. We want the viewer to think that they're not looking at a flat picture, but through a window, into a three-dimensional world. Add pointers to assist the eye. If your subject is a distant mountain, add a person or a tree in the foreground. A wide angle lens can exaggerate this perspective. 8. Use Proportion The beauty of an image is often in its proportions. A popular technique with artists is called the Rule of Thirds. Imagine the frame divided into thirds, both horizontally and vertically, like a Tic-Tac-Toe board. Now place your subject on one of the lines or intersections. Always centering your subject can get dull. Use the Rule of Thirds to add variety and interest. 9. Search For Details It's always tempting to use a wide angle lens and 'get everything in'. However, this can be too much and you may loose the impact. Instead, zoom in with a longer lens and find some representative detail. A shot of an entire sequoia tree just looks like a tree. But a shot of just the tree's wide base, with a person for scale, is more powerful. 10. Position The Horizon Where you place the horizon in your shot affects what is emphasized. To show the land, use a high horizon. To show the sky, use a low horizon. Be creative.

he is demonstrating how a butterfly knife works. since they are butterfly keys, they probably do the same thing.

Found some information though it might be usefull for others getting into photography. There are three technical elements that "make" an image Aperture Shutter speed ISO speed (sensitivity of the digital sensor) 1. Aperture The aperture determines the amount of light that gets to the digital sensor. A SMALL number indicates a LARGE aperture, good lenses start with a maximum aperture of 2, better and more expensive lenses start at 1.1! Apart from the quantity of light that is allowed to get through, the aperture also determines the DOF (depth of field). The numbers you see on the side of a lens usually look like this: F 22 | 16 | 11 | 8 | 5.6 | 4 | 2.4 At F 22, the lens lets in a very small amount of light, it is at minimum aperture. At F 2.4, the lens lets in the maximum amount of light that it has been designed for. Each number represents a double increase (or decrease) of the quantity of light that is allowed through the lens. For example: at aperture 5.6 you allow 2 times more light than at aperture 8, and 2 times less light than at aperture 4 On "point and shoot" digital cameras you do not see this numbers on the side of the lens, the process of opening and closing the aperture is controlled electronically and has also increments like: 5.9 or 8.2 2. Shutter speed The shutter is the device that controls the exposure time of the photo. The exposure time usually begins at 1/2000 sec. and goes up to 30 sec. At 1/250 sec. exposure time, the shutter will let in 2 times more light than at 1/500 sec. and 2 times less than at 1/125 sec. The exposure time determines how a photo will look, if it will be "shaken" or crystal clear. For example: you want to take a picture of a water fountain. You have two options, use a short exposure, or a long one. A short exposure (of 1/2000 sec.) will "freeze" the water droplets in mid air; the detail of every droplet will be clearly visible in the photo. A long exposure time (of 1 sec.) will create a special effect where the falling droplets traces unite to create streams of water. Aperture Priority | Shutter Speed 1/25 | Aperture Value 8 | ISO Speed 50 Aperture Priority | Shutter Speed 1/1000 | Aperture Value 3.2 | ISO Speed 50 3. ISO speed 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. I'll give a theoretical example of how this three indicators work together: At ISO speed 100 you select an aperture of 8 and the shutter speed is calculated by the camera at 1/250 sec. The same image*, mathematically speaking, can be created using the following settings: same image* - the same in theory but with different effects on the final, real image As you can see, with the ISO speed constant, the aperture and exposure time increase or decrease in connection with each other; if the aperture allows more light into the camera, the shutter speed decreases to compensate and give the perfect exposure. But what happens to these theoretical numbers if you set the ISO speed at 50? Take a look: You can modify the aperture, keeping the shutter speed constant, or you can modify the shutter speed, while keeping the aperture values constant: I will add more as I find and learn more myself

Yeh Norton internet security is a pain in the ass You might find that even though you have disabled Norton, it will still be cuasing a problem. You can never fully turn it off, unless its uninstalled.. -
