Trees:
We all know the trees, Trees are an important component for it’s provision of a weather-sheltered ecosystem in and under their foliage, also play an important role in producing oxygen and reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as well as moderating ground temperatures. Wood from trees is a building material, as well as a primary energy source in many developing countries.

The photos here are from my last trip to London (August 2010). The First one (to the left) you can find a HEAR shape on it.

Usually you need to press a button (Shutter release) to take a photo, but there are other ways to take photos such as timeing mode and the way we will talk about “Sound Trigger System” so What is it?

Sound Trigger System: In a simple words, some thing let you camera fire or releass it’s shutter when it detict any sounds.

In this artical i will show you how i create my Sound Trigger system.

[0] Unscrews the Shutter Release Cord and find it’s parts and the functionalty of each.
i could’t open mine so i break it.

[0] Here i just did some electical Weld job.
The problem was that you need to press the shutter release on the remote half way down to set focus, then press all-way down to release the shutter, so i just turnover the the focus function.

Water Splash

February 13, 2009 1 comment

 
    One of the wonderful ways to play with your camera is shotting the Drops of Water or what we can call "Water Splash", the way to do this is verey easy, but you mast be patient, shotting a lot of photos until you get the right shots.
 
Camera setup: High speed shutter, flash or light, manual focus and tripod are the most essential in this type of shotting, and just dont forget to select a background [white, black or colord board], you may use a glass or colored plate. You can use the normal water or colored ink.
 
Here are some of my first shots, other will be posted later
