Why is the Tripod Essential? Umbrella Tripod – A new Innovation

In order to capture a sharp photograph, with slow shutter speeds, an efficient tripod is vital.  It will eliminate the camera shake that accompanies a slow shutter speed.  A good photographer needs to know which tripod is the best for their use and also is aware of the correct technique for using a tripod.

An Effective Tripod System

It is essential to invest in a good system.  Remember that all tripods don’t come with a head, so choose the head carefully, too. The type of photographs you take will determine the type of head.  Two popular heads are the ballhead and the umbrella tripod.

What is Umbrella Tripod

The umbrella tripod has the advantage of never letting rain spoil those special photographic moments. There is a built-in thread on top of the umbrella to which you can attach any photographic accessory which uses a standard ¼ inch screw tripod.  Both you and your images are protected from the rain.

What is umbrella tripod

Andre Cavaun is the inventor of this amazing umbrella tripod.  Andre himself told the background story behind this invention

I thought about this idea while my son was visiting me from Austrlia. It was difficult to carry bags and told him while I tried to take photos of our moments in the messy weather.

Using Your Tripod

Although shooting with hand-held equipment is easy, rather than having to set up a tripod and mounting the camera on it, there are many times when it is worth the extra effort.  The new Umbrella Tripod is relatively easy to set up. There are many variables involved in the decision as to whether to use a tripod or not.  Consider the following – technique of hand-holding, shutter speed, ISO performance, size of sensors, focal length, image stabilisation, lens sharpness and camera to subject distance.  it favorite and  This has reduced the need for tripods in some conditions. There isn’t a magic formula.  It is up to each individual photographer to consider the following areas.   However, in low-light situations, when looking for high-quality images, a tripod is necessary.

Advantages of the Umbrella Tripod

The weight of the photography machine can impact on the quality of the images, particularly if you are using it for longer periods of time.  You can avoid a shaky camera and the stress by using the Umbrella Tripod, which relieves your arms and lowers the stress of the weight, leaving you free to continue shooting your favourite images.

Some genres need tripod use for a precise and consistent image, even if there are good light conditions.  Some specific techniques also require the use of a tripod.  For example, intentional blur, panorama or time lapse.  The umbrella tripod will provide added protection for those special waterfall moments, allowing you to get close without getting wet.

A general guideline states that shutter speed should be at least what the focal length is.  This is important when using a hand-held technique, rather than a tripod.  If your camera, or lens, has image stabilisation, use it and you are able to lower your shutter speed below the general guideline (see above).  Even in these cases you may still find the Umbrella Tripod useful.

You need to consider ISO performance, and what is an acceptable level of noise.  Many modern cameras are able to produce favorite images at high ISOs, without producing too much noise, but lose a lot of dynamic color and range.  It is up to the photographer- some don’t mind noise, but others don’t want a hint of it.  Again, you may need to use a tripod, and the Umbrella Tripod is easy to prepare and to carry with you at all times.

The decision about using a tripod will also depend on how you are going to print or display your images.  Low ISO levels, which result in slower shutter speeds, will produce high pixel quality and high resolution.  In this case the Umbrella Tripod is essential.  If not printing, and only showing on the web, you can resize the images.

Depending on the length of the lens, the shutter speed will need to be adjusted, and increased for sharp images if you are not using a tripod.  The distance of the subject needs to be considered, too.  Poor sharpness will be obvious if the subject is in the distance, and is only a small part of your frame.

As the resolution of your camera increased, the demand on your lenses and your hand-held technique will increase.  A tripod is an invaluable part of your photographic equipment.

Features of Umbrella Tripod

The versatile Umbrella Tripod consists of a simple screw thread on top, which allows the photographer to mount a camera, GoPro or other device with a simple screw port.

With the new tripod design the photographer can stay protected from the weather while taking great photos and videos in the most inclement weather.  It folds up like an umbrella, making it easy to carry with you at all times, so you don’t miss any opportunity for that great shot.

Pursuing a Profitable Business with Laser Engraving

Making a profit in a new business using a laser engraving machine requires having the proper skills, putting forth a decent amount of effort and perhaps having a little bit of luck along with way.  But generally, anyone who has the desire to make a profitable business out of laser engraving can do so.

There are many different markets you can enter and be successful with a laser etching machine. Etching the plaques for trophies was one of the earliest but awards, gifts or making ad specialties are well within reach of a new or growing etching business. Many markets may seem strange at first, for as the use of lasers continues to expand, more and more exciting new uses appear. And, even though smaller single personalized jobs may be at first easier to find, the money will come with corporate and industrial markets.

Corporate market buyers will usually make their choices based on the quality of the work you do rather than the price. The money they spend comes from the corporation and not from their own pocket, so it’s easier for them to sell a quality product to management than an inferior one that might cost a bit less. In both business and in the military, making the customer look good with your product means three basic goals:

  • Making a quality product with excellent workmanship
  • Delivering the product on or before the contract deadline
  • Creating the product exactly as specified with no errors

These concepts may seem obvious and appear easy to do, but in actuality, especially when you’re rushed, mistakes can and will happen. But the secret to a successful laser engraving business in the corporate world not only requires each of these goals to be precisely met, but in the process it is critical that you build an honest, personal relationship between you and the corporate buyer.

Once that relationship is established, make sure it continues by doing the best you can to take care of your client. This can often mean doing jobs that may seem strange or unusual. Many times a corporate client will have the money to spend on a project but not have any idea what to spend it on, leaving it up to you to come up with the right product for their needs. A situation like this requires you to come up with the best possible idea or it’s possible you could lose the client to the competition. If you completely run completely out of ideas, consider farming the project out to someone else and even though you won’t make as much money on that one job, it will probably insure that there will be additional work for you with the client in the future.

Working with a laser etching machine for profit can be an extremely rewarding business experience. With a little hard work, careful attention to details, and the right business attitude, you should be well on your way to a profitable business venture that’s fun, exciting and rewarding in the future.

Re-Start or Shut Down the PC with Just Single Click

Today we are going to create single click shutdown or restart button for out windows operating systems which means that we can make out windows OSs to shut down or restart in just one single click. So let’s get started..

To Create Shutdown Button

Step 1:Right Click on your desktop then goto New and click on Shortcut.

Step 2: Now in the box next to ‘Browse’ button type ‘shutdown.exe -s -t 00′

Here,shutdown.exe = system file, -s = shutdown , -t = time and 00 =duration which is 0s here (You can set it in terms of seconds for eg. 01).

Step 3: Click Next and on the next page and type a name for the shortcut and click finish.

So that’s all we have to do, now you can shut down your computer by only a single click from your desktop, also if you want you can place it on taskbar by holding and dropping it on taskbar and also if you want you can change icon of the shortcut by going to properties > change icon and select the icon that you want.(In the image below there is a demonstration of what I am talking about in this paragraph).

Alphabet: Brought to you by Google

Alphabet: Brought to you by Google

Google has never been a company that goes with the crowd, however their latest venture has taken many by surprise.

Alphabet is the most recent enterprise, bringing together a consortium of companies that will take on Google’s more radical programs (such as biologicals research and work on longevity). This will make the current Google much more streamlined, allowing it to focus back in on its core business of tech.

The rationale behind the conglomerate appears to be pure survival in numbers, with a large firm being better equipped to handle the whims of the market than a group of smaller enterprises. This also means that one failed venture can be shouldered by the other companies.

An added bonus is the change of public perception, as the Google behemoth is broken down into parts that are more easily understood by consumers. The new structure will also make it easier to track Google’s income, with each individual part of the business reporting on its respective success.

Human resources are also a key consideration, as senior management will be able to be hired for their subject-matter expertise, which will be relevant to a discreet component of the business.

What does this mean for users and investors?

In the short-term, the changes to Google will be largely invisible to the average consumer.

As the structure evolves however, we’re likely to see greater outputs from the businesses that fall under the Alphabet umbrella, in reflection of the more efficient and streamlined configuration. This will no doubt boost Google’s innovation and its profitability, which has been waning in the last few years.

Noting this, investors may wish to wait before rushing into any decisions. While the structure will bring greater transparency to revenue, it may also lead to higher costs due to the increase in skilled staff.

What’s the long-term vision?

It seems that the move has been intended to revitalize and future-proof the Google brand. The company has clearly identified that it has reached the limits of market dominance in the search engine industry, making change a necessity. At the same time, a number of new industries (such as biotech, transport and natural sciences) are moving into the digital realm, representing the perfect opportunity for expansion.

Through these moves, Google is becoming more than just a search engine – it’s becoming a new-age conglomerate with reach across the global economy.

They are used at houses, business firms, organisations, banks, departmental stores, hotels, ATMs, offices etc. They are used to improve the security of the place where they are put into use. They are used to carry out the surveillance applications within a certain area. Videos and images from the cameras are streamed through the Ethernet and can be viewed using the computer technology and network.

These cameras are also employed at public places in order to maintain the safety of those particular areas. They can be located neat traffic signals which will give a view of the people and vehicles at that signal. This may help in controlling various civil threats. The major advantage is that the video can be viewed from a different place with the help of the internet network. They have the capacity to stream high quality videos over the internet. They use a specific IP address.

IP cameras are also put into use in the manufacturing industries. In this way the employer can keep a check over the employees and have a look over the production process in the factories. IP cameras help in keeping a check over the conveyer belt so that there is no malfunction and if there is one it can be seen immediately. They are also used to monitor robots in various industries and factories. It can be in various areas of offices such as reception, lounge etc. It works in a very cost effective manner.

The various other places where the IP cameras can be put into use are buses, airport terminals, schools, ships, prisons, libraries, ports, clubs, events, churches etc. Another important feature is that IP cameras capture videos and pictures instead of empty frames. The quality of the picture can be improved than the actual conditions at the place. An alert is created when any disturbance or abnormal activity occurs in the area.
