Appreciation of a portrait photo greatly depends on a viewer himself. If a lady looks at her own photograph, she seeks some imperfections she thinks she’s got, and estimates, how good a photographer is at concealing them. If you are a photographer looking at an image made by other photographer, you will, consciously or subconsciously inspect it for technical quality, Continue Reading

Windows 8 – WordPad: Disable Spacing After Paragraphs
Prevent WordPad from adding extra space after paragraphs that might cause problems when exporting to .TXT format.
By default, when writing documents in WordPad in Windows 8, an extra 10 pt of spacing is added after each paragraph for stylistic reasons. This way one does not have to press Enter twice after the end of each paragraph for space to appear between.
There may be times, however, where you find this behavior annoying. Perhaps you are writing a document in WordPad and need to save a copy in .TXT format. In this case, your paragraphs will appear one line after the next, without any spacing, because this 10pt of spacing is not converted to a line break. Or maybe you edit all of your text documents in WordPad because you like the zoom features or ability to quickly change the font via the Ribbon. Likewise, your text documents will not have the added spacing and may not look as intended….

Hacking Flickr: How to Build Your Own Personal Version of Flickr’s Explore Using Advanced Search
One of the things that I dislike about Flickr’s Explore algorithm is that it shows me so many photos that I’m not interested in. It seems like every time I go there I end up with a hodgepodge of photos that I dislike — overwatermarked, overcooked, etc. I’ve always been interested in is a version of Explore that would filter out everyone on Flickr except for my contacts. Over the years I’ve managed both my contacts and friends/family list to my own personal taste as a consumer of photography.
The most popular way to view your contacts’ photos of course is on the “Photos From Your Contacts” page. This page shows you the last 1 or 5 (you choose) photos by your contacts or friends/family (again you choose). So you basically have four different ways to view your contacts’ photos, but all four are by recency only.
Sometimes you might want to look at photos by your contacts in ways other than recency. Over the years I’ve added a ton of people as contacts — so many in fact that there is just no way that I can keep up with every single photo every single contact posts every single day. So instead of the recency view I’ve been looking for other ways that I can look at my contacts’ photos.
After playing around with Flickr’s advanced search page this weekend, I figured out how I can view my contacts’ photos by interestingness instead of only recency. This is helpful if you want to see what are the best (most popular) photos by your contacts over past period of times. Flickr’s interestingness algorithm gives every photo on flickr a hidden internal score. This score is based on lots of factors including how many favorites a photo gets, how many comments a photo gets, tags, where it’s posted on the web outside of Flickr, etc. The basic premise though is that the more activity a photo receives the more interesting a photo might be.
Advanced search on Flickr lets you customize your search criteria and seems to even work with empty search queries (which seem to return all photos). You can customize the search page to only search using your contacts photos and you can customize it by past time periods. So if you want to run through all of your contacts’ photos by the last day, week, month, etc. and have them ranked by the most popular photos to see if you’ve missed any great photos you can do that using this page.
The way Flickr returns photos in search is a little clunky and is not as elegant as the justified view for photos on your contacts most recent photo page, but I bet search results on Flickr end up with a justified view at some point in the future as well. A photo wall that you can favorite from is a much superior/engaging layout after all.
Anyways, these links below should work for you as well and allow you to see the most popular photos by your contacts and friends/family over previous time periods. If you command/click (Mac) on a thumbnail it will open it in another window and then you can just tab through these windows to fave/comment/view larger any of the photos you have an interest in.

I’m not sure how long you’ve been able to search empty queries from the advanced search page. I tried to go use the wayback machine at the Internet archive to see what this page looked like in the past but apparently Flickr is blocking the internet archive from indexing this page (and other pages as well, including one specific group, which seemed odd).

Windows 8 – For Privacy, Prevent Flash from Storing Local Data
Prevent the Flash plug-inside Internet Explorer from storing local data on your machine, and clear previously-stored data.
The Flash plug-in that runs inside Internet Explorer in Windows 8 can store local information such as game high scores, favorites when viewing groups of information, preferences, or as cookies that can identify when you access a particular website or application multiple times.
While some of this data may be required by certain Flash applications, you may be concerned about your privacy. Thus you can configure Flash to not store data on your machine, and to clear data that may already be stored. Doing so, however, may make it difficult, if not impossible, to run certain Flash apps or visit certain web sites….

6 Tips for Stellar Bokeh Photography
The main difference between the camera and the your eye is focus. Your eye has a nearly unlimited depth of field, whereas a camera does not. It makes it practically impossible for a camera lens to truly capture what can be seen with the human eye. Instead of fighting this limitation, many photographers choose to embrace it, making a feature Continue Reading

1″ sensors could save the compact camera says Aptina’s Sandor Barna
Following the announcement of its 1″ sensor, we spoke to Aptina’s Sandor Barna, who believes these larger sensors could save the compact camera by offering a leap in quality that smartphones can’t compete with. Barna, the Vice President and General Manager of Aptina’s Consumer Camera Business Unit, told us about the unfilled gap in the market that 1″ sensors can address, explained the freedoms that the larger format gives the company’s designers, and why this is currently best exemplified by a product it wasn’t involved in: The Sony RX100.

Examples of Slow Shutter Speeds in Wedding Photography
We all love our crisp, tack-sharp images, especially when it comes to wedding and portrait photography. This is why we have a tenancy to always think faster in terms of faster lenses and faster shutter speeds to freeze the motion.
But while most images should be captured at motion-freezing shutter speeds, it’s important to explore creativity in all aspects of our photography, including motion blur and exposing for darker scenes. Movement is beautiful, interesting, and even powerful. Movement is action; and action can help improve an ordinary image. For a few select images, consider dropping the shutters to create certain effects.
Here are a few examples of slow shutter speeds in wedding and engagement photography.
… to capture movement of waves
… to capture movement of trains or other large objects
… to capture movement of surrounding people
… to capture detail in dark scenes
… to capture streaks of light
The point of this article isn’t to get into the how-to’s of each shot but to hopefully inspire you to think outside the box and experiment with slower shutter speeds to add interest and action to your scenes. Happy shooting! Of course, we welcome your comments below.
