Photography Basics: Aperture

Nowadays many people are carrying DSLR, Point and Shoot cameras, and even camera phones. But the question is do these people really know how to use camera? In this tutorial I will share what i know about photography. I will make this plain and simple so here goes.

Aperture: To put it simply - aperture is the size of the opening in the lens where the photo is taken. Aperture values is measured in f-numbers or f-stops (i.e. f/2.0, f/2.4, f/2.8, f/3.5, and so on). The lower the value the larger the hole in which the light pass through (more light is permitted); the higher the aperture value the smaller the hole in which light pass through (less light permitted).

The aperture along with the shutter speed, regulates the amount of exposure to light. Aperture is also responsible for controlling the depth of field DoF.

A lens with a very small aperture is called fast lens because it allows more light to go to the sensor. These type of lens is typically expensive.

The photo bellow shows different aperture values and their corresponding opening sizes. Notice that as the aperture value gets larger, the opening gets smaller

Blogger client for different mobile operating systems

Today I'm going to list the different blogger client for different mobile operating systems ranging from iOS to Android upto the burning platform SymbianOS/Nokia OS. I'm not going to list all of the blogger client because theres so many of them and it's hard to list them all so I'm going to list the best client for different mobile platform.



First let's start with iOS: iOs is the operating system for Apple's iconic Iphone, Ipod Touch/Itouch, and Ipad. rightnow there are so many different blogger client for iOS and the one that I love the most is ShoZu: If this one is to be described in one word it would be awesome. There's a handful of different supported sites and you can say that this is the swiss army knife of social interaction and mobile blogging for andnbsp;iOS.

Next is for Android: Bloggeroid: Bloggeroid is my client of choice for Android OS and I'm glad that this client is noob friendly so it's easy to use and theres no learning curve. I currently own a Sony XPERIA Arc S and I'm satisfied with the speed of this client even in 2G networks. It is available on Google Play Store.

Last is for Symbian/Nokia OS: Blob: Blob is a blogger client for Symbian/ Nokia OS. I can't find a word to describe how awesome this client is because it's very simple, fast, and everything you could ask for. This is my blogger client of choice because I'm alway with my wife the Nokia 808 Pureview. Too bad Nokia ditched Symbian. It is also available for MeeGo OS.

Blob: Blogger and WordPress client. ● NOW SUPPORTS WordPress too! ● Read, edit, create and delete posts and comments in different blogs ● HTML5 enabled post viewer ● Add labels, set custom publishing date and time in posts ● Comes with one of the best and convenient rich text editor ever made ● Smooth, fast and clean UI Meego version requires PR 1.2 or above
