Sun Eclipse Lens cover … Create One..
How to create a sun eclipse cover for the camera lens you have?
What do you need?
* Cardboard – any color.
* A4 paper or any paper that can be twisted around the lens.
* Camera Film.
* Tape (Masking/Duct Tape)
* The lens that you want to use. (I prepare two covers for my Nikon 70-300mm, and Sigma 50-500mm)
Assemble it..
* Put the lens on the card board and draw a circle around the lens.
* Draw a rectangle in the middle of the circle and cut it out,
The cutting area must be smaller than the film width/height.
The RED rectangular is the Film size, you have to cut the GRAY (Smaller) rectangular

* Fix the film on the card,
for now, you have the cardboard and the Film taped on it you need another one step to start shooting the sun in the mid of day.

* Make a Cylinder of the A4 and use the tape to fix it.
* Place the Card inside the Cylinder (on the top of one side – left 1cm) and use the tape to fix it.
Now you have this, and it’s complete, just fix it on the top of the lens and shot the sun.

My New iPhone 4, a stupid lock phone!!
I purchased this iPhone 4 from the internet (amazon.com) there was nothing saying that it’s lock to AT&T and can’t be used out side USA (I wonder where is the customer rights to select a carrier), once i received it i notes that it will not work on Qatar, i am waiting for the unlock solution for OS 4.2.1 BB 3.10.01… No thing till now. For now all i can do is jailbreak it and hope the unlock will be soon released..

Preparing the Scene for a good capture.
It is not that easy, yes you may use the Point and Shot cameras for daily quick capturing. If you want to have a good shot you may want to set-up the scene and arrange the objects in the positions that suit you.
Here is a studio set-up for a shot, I used the natural lights from the windows and the room light, Nikon D90 with Nikon 35mm lens with f/1.8 to get the DOF effect, subjects are Watermelon, Orange [made of candle]and The Chinese’s Porcelainin in different distance from each other.

Here is another view with more details on the set-up and distances. [Click the image to enlarge]
A shot with focus on the rear object (Chinese’s Porcelain).[Click the image to enlarge]
And now I just moved the focus to the watermelon and take the camera closer. [Click the image to enlarge]
