Gmail says “Search, don’t Sort” and by all means this is a good idea and they also tell you not to ever delete a message again, which is interesting, at least for the messages that have any value.
But if you do this you probably have copious amounts of email in a single archive and while sorting is not the solution, Labels and Filters can give you a hand with all this.
When I saw the Dove Evolution video for the first time I just couldn’t keep my jaw from falling. They have achieved to stand out with a campaign that at the same time makes women feeling good about themselves and does a great service to society at the same time.
The whole Campaign for Real Beauty is at the same time a first class marketing strategy and a brilliant human campaign but the second video, Dove Onslaught, has achieved to tell you why their competitors are the bad guys and they are the good ones in a way that a sensible person can hardly disagree.
Now, I only wish is that the fierce and agressive marketing campaign behind the very true and enlighted message doesn’t prevail and hopefully the whole beauty industry starts to align itself with this ideology.
By the way, if you have children don’t miss very interesting activities on the campaign website. And when I say children I do mean both boys and gilrs, because if boys keep on thinking that anorexia is beautiful, hardly ever you will convince the girls otherwise.
On most serious websites guidelines to make passwords include not to use pet names, birth dates, wedding dates and words on dictionaries because they are too easy to guess and can be easily cracked to get access to your account.
What really amazes me is that after you pick a (hopefully) hard to guess password and possibly not easy to remember the very system asks you for a “security question” to help you case you forget your hard-to-guess password and these questions are ofter as stupid as your pet name, which is precisely the kind of thing that you should avoid as password.
There has been a great fuzz lately about the Nofollow attribute on links and I think every publisher of new media (bloggers and alike) should take a stand either against or in favor of this discussion.
I took mine and I have disabled nofollow on this blog, but before I get on the discussion, let me first overview what the nofollow atribute is.
Before I moved to Italy, I prepared a series of posts on photography basics to cover me while I was unable to write, but it seems that I underestimated this time and this is why this blog has been silent for the last three weeks.
I wasn’t even able to mantain the Bee Side of Zo’C which is a personal blog and much easier to fill with trip pictures and stories.
But, by no means this blog is abandoned, I have finally reached a point of comfort here and I am back on the track of writing, while I am still having a hard time to follow the blogs I usually do (If you own one of the blogs I read, I promess soon I’ll be active again).
Sooner that you can imagine, new Zo’C posts will be published.
By now, we have seen that, by changing the ISO value we can change the amount of light needed for a picture, in exchange for quality. We have also seen that, by changing the aperture value, we can change the amount of light actually entering the camera, in exchange for bigger and smaller depth of field.
But increasing the Aperture value is not the only way to increase the amount of light in a picture.
We have seen how it is possible to project an image on a surface, but we haven’t seen so far how to transform the projected image, into a photography that can be seen further in time.
In this post, we will see basics of how films and digital sensors work and how to use ISO value on your own advantage.
We have seen in the previous post, that by isolating rays of light through a tiny hole, we can separate and project images of objects. The smaller the whole, the sharper and darker the image, and vice-versa.
It would be really great if we could find a way to widen the aperture of the camera and correct the rays of light and project all diverging rays of light the same point, isn’t it? That would provide a sharp image that is also very illuminated.
In this post, I’ll show you the lens basics and how to use focus and aperture to your advantage in pictures.
