The Photobook

Digital cameras with built-in lenses were designed for convenience and simplicity. That's great in many respects, but it's not always ideal. The LCD monitor makes for a convenient alternative to the viewfinder. As a result, we sometimes hold the camera with one hand, twelve inches away from our eyes. The monitor does provide the most accurate framing but this one-handed technique can lead to blurry pictures caused by camera shake. The Menu includes a vast range of options that can be tedious and complicated. Consequently, it’s tempting to “keep it simple: to shoot in a fully automatic Program or Scene mode with all the default settings. We may ignore useful features such as specific White Balance and ISO options, exposure compensation, flash intensity reduction, specific apertures (f/stops for depth of field control) and the many JPEG size/quality levels but the photo posters look great. The wide-area (multi-point) autofocus sensor is very convenient. We may be tempted to use that feature instead of selecting a single focus detection option - and using autofocus lock when recomposing - for more precise control. The wide-area AF mode is fine for snapshots. But the camera may focus on a person’s stomach instead of the eyes: the essential subject area in people pictures.

Web Hosting

One of my interests include a study about web hosting. I have surfed through a number of articles and have read a lot about web hosting and related stuffs. My imagination grows day by day and I have dreamt of designing my web as follows. Most portions of my domain need to be constructed by hand using Pico or Emacs under Mac OS X. I mostly use Pico, but sometimes Emacs is more convenient. Web galleries are constructed in Adobe Photoshop and then modified by hand and with batch modifications.

HTML tags for images and links to other popular domains should be easy to memorize. If I want to do something more complicated I would look for a web page that does what I want to do and then figure out what HTML it's using to accomplish this, or look for useful HTML information through Indiana University's Knowledge Base, a compendium of technical support documents. For instance, the Knowledge Base is how I know how to create client-side image maps for the scenery maps. Through my site, I also want to help the learners by teaching them the basics of web hosting hub reviews and so it would serve them better to host their own site. I am also planning to decorate my web using Adobe Photoshop. Hope I will post my website soon.
