Customer Review: Poor documentation. Awkward to use.
I was looking for something simple to use. This is not it. It is not intuitively obvious and the documentation is very poor. Also I can rotate a picture and it stays rotated but if I zoom a picture it reverts back to the original. This is my first experience with a digital frame so maybe I'm just a dummy but I don't recommend it. I didn't load their software because I once bought a Kodak camera and the software for that was very intrusive and annoying.
Customer Review: I like it for basic photos
When I bought this for my grandparents, I was looking for something easy. To be frank, I just wanted a flash drive port. All I had to do was plug the frame in, insert the card, and hit go. Poof! Easy as pie for grandma and grandpa. I have no intent to explore all the features that probably made this so expensive, but if you're in the same situation I am, it works. And on a Mac too. :)


Have you ever wondered how some serious consumers or photography enthusiasts have the eye' or the ability to properly frame a photograph with great colors? This person might be considered artsy' or having an artistic angle to his or her personality. Do you think this person was born with this trait or did he or she develop it? I believe with practice everyone has the ability to improve their photographs. However, it's a matter of discipline. Are you willing to take lots of photographs and then ask yourself this one question, How can I improve this image? There are many ways to improve your photographs from an artistic perspective; however, I would like to focus on four. They are simple shapes, the decisive moment, golden hours and the rule of thirds.

Simple Shapes
After an assignment one day, I went jogging past an art gallery that had displays of photography when it hit me. The photographs that are simple are the most powerful. When a photographer focuses your attention on the simple shapes of the triangle, square and circle, you have less to distract your eye. The result is that you can more easily 'get it' or get the powerful message that the photographer is trying to convey. One of the most widely viewed photographs of the 20 th Century is Steve McCurry's 1985 cover photograph for National Geographic Magazine. It is of a young Afghan girl with green eyes whose name is Sharbat Gula. Sharbat's plain green background and her tattered red headscarf suggest movement in a counter-clockwise direction around her face. It's the circle of the scarf, the triangle that makes up her nose and the circles that are those piercing green eyes that convey simplicity and power.

How can you get more simple shapes in your photographs? For starters, I always bring a camera with me when I am on a speaking assignment. Even when I am hired for a photography assignment I always take extra photographs for my personal archive. This 'in front of and behind the lens' practice led me to develop the Staash Perspective System (SPS). The SPS teaches that simplicity leads to more powerful communications. While you don't literally need to have these simple shapes in your photographs, you need to keep thinking how you can have them represented in your images. In addition, this might involve a concept called the decisive moment.'

The Decisive Moment
The master of the decisive moment' was an extremely successful photographer named Henri Cartier-Bresson. He captured some of the most memorable black and white street scenes of Paris and used his patience and creativity to allow for that 'decisive' moment to occur. One of his most famous black and white photographs shows a man leaping over a large puddle of water in mid-air with the man's reflection caught in the puddle below. Henri's passion attracted students, aficionados, and collectors alike and made him a photography leader.

How do you master the decisive moment? It's becoming increasing harder to do this in our fast-paced society and nearly impossible if you are on a group tour. Often times Henri would wait for hours at a staircase or at a very interesting intersection just waiting for the right person to pass by or for a memorable event to take place. He practiced luck.' Louis Pasteur defines luck as when opportunity and preparation meet.' I had a bit of this luck when I took a photograph of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

I visited the first time to understand where the sun would set and how it would affect the bridge. My first visit was during the harsh light of mid-day and the bridge looked unflattering in its' cold gray color. I returned two days later with only about 20 minutes to set up my tripod. I framed the bridge in a landscape view and waited. Every photographer that was there left, and I was beginning to wonder if I was missing something or forgot to take a shower. Finally I saw an ocean tanker ready to sail under the bridge and complete not only a decisive moment but also complete a triangle in the photograph.

Golden Hours
The main reason why I made an initial visit to the Golden Gate Bridge was to pay attention to the light and to understand where it would be shining as it related to my subject. This is a critical step if you want to capture images and even people while using the best possible light. As a matter of fact, if you took more photographs during the golden hours, or the hour around sunrise and the hour around sunset, the quality of your photographs would dramatically increase.

The main obstacle that stops most serious consumers or photography enthusiasts is not wanting to get up early in the morning. I recently took morning photographs of the US Capitol Building from the roof of another building on Capitol Hill. I had to arise before 5AM in order to drive to the desired location and to set up my gear. In the near total darkness I waited for the light to shine on the dome of the Capitol before the sun rose. The result was a pleasing image that cast the capitol in a soft light. I took many photographs and bracketed (taking lots of photographs at various apertures and shutter speeds) to assure that I would get the best possible final images.

The Rule of Thirds
Sometimes I photographed the Capitol building slightly left of center and other times I took the image slightly to the right. I wasn't having a hard time putting the image directly in the center of the frame; rather, I wanted to practice what the Ancient Greeks called, the rule of thirds.' The Ancient Greeks realized 3,000 years ago that the most beautiful works of art were those that could be divided into thirds. Earlier in the week I visited the opposite side of the Capitol to take photographs at sunset next to the Botanical Gardens and framed the building in the center, but I put trees to the left and to the right to complete the rule of thirds.

The rule of thirds isn't limited to images horizontally or vertically. It can also be used diagonally or even within the photograph as in foreground, mid-ground and background. You can also extend the rule of thirds to fifths. This will come in very handy the next time you take photographs of people. It's easy if you have three or five people in a photograph, but what happens if you have two? Create an imaginary third person and put that extra' person either to the right or the left of the other two people. The result will be a more balanced photograph and one that is much more interesting.

I put the all of these artistic suggestions to a test at a family wedding. Right around sunset I gathered up my three-year old son, my nephew of the same age and another six-year old nephew. I put them in front of an old wooden door that was getting the evening sun at St. Augustine, Florida's oldest house. I put my six-year old nephew in the middle and my son and my other nephew on either side. I had the golden hour light, practiced the rule of thirds and was using simple shapes (the square door, the triangle of the three boys and the circle of their faces). The only thing that was missing was the decisive moment. If you have ever taken pictures of children, there is a limit to their patience. I took seven photographs before they wandered off into the garden to play chase me.' One of the seven photographs had the natural or photojournalistic look I was after. It was unplanned and decisive. It could be called a lucky photograph, but in reality, it was taken when opportunity and preparation met.

While analyzing any camera, one of the most important qualities of a photograph that a person seeks, is resolution. This word itself needs a brief discussion before progressing onto its implication upon a digital camera. This is a word that seems to almost every new photographer as a nightmare. With all the myths and irrelevant information circulating all around, this is quite common. This however is an effort to clear those misty myths and provide good information for everyone. Without any complexity, generally a photograph, either viewed on the screen or printed, is composed of infinitesimal dots (called pixels). The greater amount of these dots that can fit per inch of space, the smaller the dots and the sharper the image. This is the basis of understanding ... resolution!

Considering an image at 100 dots per inch that is one square inch in size. It is comprised of 100 X 100 pixels. Now changing this image four-times to four square inches. This image is quite clear. Now the same 100 X 100 dots exist, but with only 25 dots per inch. The appearance becomes grainy. This is the factor know as resolution that determines this quality of image. Hence it can now be interpreted by any person what the importance of resolution is and where it is required in the filed of photography. While purchasing a digital camera, resolution is a very important factor to take into account when settling upon buying a particular one.

Digital camera resolution comes in as Mega pixels. A Mega pixel is composed of one million pixels. The greater the number of Mega pixels, the greater becomes the standard of quality of the photograph or picture. As a standard, one mega pixel is the minimum bottom line below which a digital camera must not be usually purchased. This is a general decided value for any amateur photographers also, and the exact value of higher mega pixels is not a concern for people who do not intend to print the photographs. In an effort to scrutinize the pixels in an image out of sheer anxiety, a person can magnify the display in a photo editor, like a little magnifying glass, and they become very much visible!

The resolution decides the ultimate the future of the hard copy of a photograph being taken, whether a digital camera or a conventional camera. A print from a high-resolution photograph challenges anything produced from a chemical film camera. However a low-resolution image print of a photograph is quite appalling with fine details and restrained color transitions absent resulting from too few pixels. Thus the resolution can spoil an entire effort to freeze a memorable moment. Thus it is so vital. As a general rule a minimum of 200 pixels are required for each linear inch of a print. However, some printers get better results with 300 pixels per-inch of resolution.

The above discussion has brought into light a lot of relevant information regarding resolution and its application in the digital camera and photography. Also in the concluding lines it can only be stated for digital camera ... resolution is the real soul!

The Leica digital camera reviews will include the C-LUX 2, which runs about $450. This camera has 7.2 megapixels with three times optical zoom. This camera is very similar to Panasonics DMC- FX30. It is a very easy-to-use camera is lightweight, compact and has image stabilization. The only downfall to this camera is it uses a custom Liton battery, which could cost you some money if you need to replace it. This camera does not need a viewfinder because it offers a two and a half inch viewing screen so you can see exactly what you are shooting.

Other Leica digital camera reviews include the D-LUX 3, Digilux 3, M8 and the V-LUX1. The Digilux 3 and the M8 have very high price tags. The Digilux 3 is SLR digital camera with 7.5 megapixels and a two and a half inch viewing screen. The nice thing about this camera is it can hold a memory card larger than two gigabytes. This camera has the ability to shoot three frames per second.

The M8 camera is a 10.3 megapixels camera that has a price of fifty-four hundred dollars. This camera is not for the beginning photographer. The performance of this camera is outstanding. This camera does not have autofocus, so the user will need to know the fundamentals of photography and camera use.

Leica digital camera reviews help you find a camera that has very little to no problems. It also tells you about the features, function and any accessories that come with the camera. The reviews can help you find the perfect camera. If you read the reviews, you will be able to compare other cameras and decide which one would be best suited for your needs. You can determine what are the best cameras by reading what other users have to say about the cameras.

While Leica is one of the best when it comes to recommended digital cameras, they're certainly not the only game in town. There are equal and better cameras around, you just need to know where to look.

Customer Review: An OK frame for the money
This is an OK, average product. Very basic software, relatively easy to use and I like the fact that it allows a 1gig space on the SD card. The only problem that is very irritating is that you can not randomize the photos. It just loops them in the order they are on the card.


What draws us to a beautiful sunset? What makes you want to capture that scene? Perhaps the warm colours and tones ... and then there are so many variations of sunsets, which adds that extra excitement, so let's take a look at these digital photography tips on how best to capture a glowing sunset with your digital camera ...

Timing and Composure

Get set up before the sunset starts, at least half an hour beforehand. A couple of things to consider: the exact time the sun sets, which is the moment the sun drops below the horizon. Note this could be affected bearing in mind your landscape, that is, if there are any mountains which could block the sun, before it has chance to reach the horizon. So it's worth finding the right location where you have an uninterrupted view of the sun, perhaps from a beach, edge of a lake or cliff edge ... anywhere with an uncluttered view. This will greatly emphasise the sun and the sky for a stunning sunset shot

You must also consider as the sun approaches the horizon, this is the time to start shooting, as you should see some dynamic scenes before the sun disappears. Take a couple of shots every few minutes to capture the changing light from the sun's rays once the sun nears the horizon. If you have a tripod, this will help compose your shot by keeping everything steady for your framing.

VIP

Be careful when preparing your shot not to look directly at the sun, either through your viewfinder or with a naked eye, to avoid damaging your eyes. Your digital camera will have an LCD panel, so use this to frame your shot for safety. It will help you with more accurate framing.

Can Dust Particles affect my shot ... True or False?

True ... Dust particles and humidity from clouds can have a great effect on how the light from the sun's rays will give you that dynamic sunset. When the sun is near the horizon the light has to travel its longest wavelengths. The light travels though dust particles and water vapour from the clouds, and so helps create that dramatic sky, giving those deep rich warm tones of red, orange and yellow. If you happen to be close to a town, city or desert on a humid evening, sand dust particles is perfect for scattering light - you'll be in luck to get that 'stunning' sunset.

Set the Scene for that Creative Sunset

Now you're ready to start shooting you'll need to frame your sunset. There is a rule of thirds, and to use it, make sure to keep the horizon level low (bottom third of your framed scene) filling the above two-thirds of your frame with the sky. Be creative by keeping some darker foreground in your shot as this highlights the sky, adding more appeal. You may wish to add other objects, for example trees, figures, overhanging ferns (if on a beach), birds etc, which should give you an attractive silhouette, against your glowing sky. If there happens to be low clouds around, then this will add even more dynamism to your shot - you can imagine the scene right now!

Be patient, be creative, I hope you find these digital photography tips useful, but most of all ... have fun!

Customer Review: Kodak M829 Digital Picture Frame
This digital picture frame is very easy to use even without the manual. Everything you need is on the touch screen. Very easy to use from your digital camera, flash drive or the computer. Also the videos that I tried from my digital camera played very well and where clear. I haven't as yet tried any music. The clock feature that turns the picture frame on and off is a very convient idea but be sure you use the 24 hour cycle, I didn't understand this at first and couldn't get mine timer working right. I did have a little trouble coping picture files to my SD card but I think, I need to put them on my computer first and see if that is what is need to get them on my SD card, not sure about this right now, but I will try it and see if that works. Overall I'm very please with the Kodak digital picture frame and would recommend it to anyone as a gift for the Holidays.
Customer Review: Does not work like it says
I purchased this product two days ago and I am taking it back. I purchased this paticular frame because it goes with my Easyshare camera, and I like the word EASY when it comes to some of this Hi Tech stuff. I have to say it was easy to get my photos on, no problem, but The Video feature didn't work. The videos played very slow and the audio was slow and muted, when I played it for the first time it frightened my daughter, she thougth there was a monster in the frame. I called Kodak, they said to send it back. I don't want to purchase another one and have the same problem again.

This article will give you some easy beginner photography tips to get you to start taking better photos quick. So, let's begin!

One of the most important skills you need to learn in photography is how to frame your photos. Get good at framing shots and you will take better photos looking like the pros in no time. Now, there are lots of tips on how to frame shots and lots of these may conflict with each other when used together. Some also don't work with certain settings. You as a photographer must judge whether the setting is right for the technique you are going to use.

Technique One: Balance

One easy technique you can use is balance. There are two different types of balance.

Asymmetrical Balance

This type of balance is when you have a photo balanced through the depth of field or of some sort of that. Both sides aren't identical, but the weight of both sides makes the shot look balanced. For example, you could have a photo with a dog in the front left and a cat in the back right. It is balanced asymmetrically.

Symmetrical Balance

This balancing is when you take a shot and both sides look the same. It can be identical the same like an orange cut in half or a shot with two people in the same pose looking at each other.

Technique Two: Lines

Lines are very effective tools for taking photos. They will be encountered in lots of shots you take. So it is a good idea to get better at using them. You can use lines to lead to the subject of interest to make for more powerful shots.

Technique Three: Simplicity

Many beginners take photos that are just too complex. Try to make your photo simple by focusing on primarily one subject a photo.

Be sure to use these techniques and practice as much as possible!

If you are looking for the cheap DVD players in the traditional as well as in the online market then you will have to perform a detailed market survey. This survey will help you to get the "best deal". This deal refers to the availability of best product which is preloaded with the advanced features and comes with best price. You must consider things such as brand name, product quality, resolution, price, substitute products, contrast ratio, warranty and customer service. All these factors help to ensure that the product will be at par with its value.

Most of the modern day cheap DVD players offer most of these features but you must protect your purchasing decision from cheap and duplicate products. These duplicate products are low on quality and can damage your resources besides delivering a low-quality performance.

If you are looking at some of the most acclaimed names in the world of DVD technology then big names such as Sony, Samsung and Philips DVD players are the perfect options for you. Philips has been an uncrowned leader in the DVD world as almost all of its products were able to win the laurels of the customers.

The Philips DVP4000, Philips DVP 3120 and Philips DVP3026 are some of the highly acclaimed DVD players in the present day market. These advanced and affordable Philips DVD players offer a high degree of portability, reliability, performance, quality and consistency at affordable prices. One thing is for sure, these high quality yet cheap DVD players will never let you down when it comes to performance and quality, even in the long run.

Most of the modern day customers feel that afford ability and quality cannot come with a single DVD device, this is not true. The Philips DVD players have shown remarkable strength when the delivery of high-quality performance at affordable prices in the short as well as the long run is concerned. This is the sole reason why Philips has been able to create such a robust goodwill for itself on a consistent basis in the last few decades.
