Monarch Binoculars Made By Nikon

The Monarch Binocular made by Nikon was given a five in ratings. Before any of the other models are considered for your purchase you may want to see and to learn about the different features the binoculars offer like the magnification of the lenses, the range of the view, and the ability of the binoculars to be waterproof. There are many other things that will need to be taken into consideration also.

The binocular has numbers on the label that says something like 9x32. The first number means that the lenses will give you a magnification power of nine times what it would be without it. The second number is the size of the lens that is in the front of the binoculars in millimeters. So if your number is thirty-two then, the lens is thirty-two millimeters wide. The size of your lens will tell you just how much of the light that is on the outside is able to get on the inside of the binoculars. The larger the lens, the more light you will be able to get. It is also possible for the binoculars to have a high magnification number in the front and the width of the lens will need to be made larger to accommodate the light needed to give you a good picture. Your binoculars should give you a waterproof guarantee on them so that they will be able to go where you want them and so they can be cleaned easier. You will also want the binoculars you choose to be light enough for you to carry around with you. You should also consider an auto focus so that you will not miss the view you are looking for because you are trying to manually focus the binoculars.

The options that are standard on the Monarch binoculars that are made by Nikon are totally waterproof and also prevent fog from occurring on the lenses. These qualities will give you the best piece of equipment possible. You can also feel comfortable when you need to wear a pair of glasses while using them. These particular binoculars will give you an extended eye relief option that will help you to reduce the amount of strain on the eyes and this is essential for those who intend on using them for a long time.

Online Photo Sharing - Staying Connected to Family and Friends

Your kids are growing up faster than ever. Seems like they are doing something new every day. Your toddler just learned to "toddle". Or perhaps you've just attended your seniors graduation. Being the good digital camera owner that you are you've diligently recorded all these events. Now it's time to use an online photo sharing service and get your pictures out to your family and friends. Keep them up to date on what's going on in your life.

If you do a search for online photo sharing you'll see there's way too many of them. Flickr, Smugmug, Ofoto, dotPhoto, Ritzpix, Shutterfly, Pbase, Google Web Albums. The list goes on and on. Deciding which one to use comes down to one simple question. Do you need (want) to make prints from these images? If so, you'll want to select the right service.

All of the online photo sharing sites share a fairly common feature set.

• You can set up a free account. You may be limited to the number of photos uploaded or how long they are stored.
• Photos can be sorted into different albums
• You can share the albums with others
• You can add captions or descriptions to photos and/or albums
• You can view an online slideshow of all images in an album

A number of sites give you the capability to print the photos. Ofoto and Shutterfly will mail the prints to you, but Ritzpix, Wal-Mart and other national chains let you order online and pick up your prints at a local store. So, you can upload your pictures and email Grandma a link to them. She goes online and selects a number of them to print. The online photo service sends the order to her local store and she picks them up. How cool is that!

Digital cameras and online photo sharing sites have certainly changed how we stay connected with family and friends. Instead of waiting days or weeks for photos to arrive in the mail you only have to wait a few minutes for an email. After placing an online order for local pickup most companies will have them done in an hour or two.

Try out some of the photo sharing websites mentioned in this article. Get a free account, send 5-10 photos and play around with the various features. Find one you like and enjoy this wonderful technology.

NOTE: For printing, you'll want to send good quality images. You don't need full 6-10 MP files; half of that is fine. For online viewing, 640x480 or 800x600 is preferred. Smaller files will transmit faster and take less space in your free account.

Two Essential Equipment You Need To Bring Along For Your Landscape Photography Session

The two essential equipment you need to bring along for your landscape photography session are Filters and a Tripod. These two equipment will help you to capture the scene with the right color balance. At the right light conditions, you will not need a strong-colored filters. Therefore, use filters to enhance the image quality but do not over use it such that your shots looked manufactured. It is recommended to use two types of filters. They are the Neutral density (ND) graduates and warm-ups.

ND grads are used to reduce the contrast between the sky and land. Using it will ensure that you get a good amount of details in both. These filers come in a variety of different strength (measured in stops). Half of the filer is grey in color while the other half is clear. It is because of this design, it provides the contrast between the sky and land. The way to use it is to position the grey half over the sky where by it will add details to your image without changing the color of the sky. If you can only afford to buy one filter initially, but a two stop version. However, if you can afford to buy more, you should have a variety of filers with different strength so that you can combine them when the need arises.

For subtle enhancement of ambient light, warm-ups filters are the perfect choice.

It is suggested to have more subtle warm-ups, such as an 81A or, at most, an 81B. In any case, ND grads should be the primarily filter system to use while only use warm-ups in moderation.

As mentioned above, filters are a must-have for any landscape photography. As such, in order to produce the best shot with the right balance of color, use quality glass system. As far as possible, avoid plastic or resin system.

While you can say that contrast and balance can be corrected using Photoshop in your PC, but that should be the last resort. If you keep having this in mind, that is relying on your Photoshop, you will never be able to improve your skills and technique with your camera. After all, you can say, who cares, I have Photoshop. Bear in mind, this should not be the case. You must always get your best shot with your camera. . For more information, please visit Freelance Photography.

On going on

Why continue making photographs? Staring at the commonplace and the things encountered every day, why continue with it? Haven't we seen enough of it already? The "new ways of seeing" — aren't them well established by now? Why continue with all this?

The last thousands of rolls by Garry Winogrand, the compulsive, nearly blank stuff from his last years, shot in Los Angeles, ceaseless repetition of the familiar themes but weaker and weaker all the time, was he about to break through into something new? Come through the void? Or is the great work there, in that endless succession of frames? An enigma? I'm familiar with the work of Winogrand only from Figments from the Real World, Szarkowski's brilliant essay included in the book, and a 1981 interview posted on some website (I didn't read it completely, just half of it).

The answer is: I don't know.
