Basic of using a camera to take a photo

You have to know three basic things that control a photo. Light - Shutter and aperture control Film or sensor sensitivity Depth of field Shutter speed is like the time you allow your tooth paste to flow out. You know how much paste you want, you have control over the speed of the flow of the paste. Same way you control the amount of light that falls on you camera sensor. Aperture is like the opening of your toothpaste case. If you have bigger opening of the tube, you slow down your paste flow or vice versa. Because amount of your tooth paste is constant. So, for a same light, you can have same amount of light with different combination of shutter speed and aperture. You increase aperture one stop, you have to decrease shutter speed one stop. Then why we have so many aperture and shutter values. Different aperture give you different depth of field. Narrower opening give a lot of field in front of the camera in focus. Higher shutter speed gives you opportunity to freeze

Ramble in Tithal, a quiet sea beach in Gujarat

Life gives you...life and incidents. We choose whether to call them happy or sad experiences. We escaped from boring life and choose to live with less income in terms of money but be more rich with incidents. Tithal is our first sole outing post arrival in India. tithal is a normal town of India like any other town that is by the side of the sea. It though does not have typical houses of other beach cities like Daman, Alibaug, Karwar, Om beach etcetera. It has Black sand, muds yet to 3 of us it gave our first relaxing week end. We just sat by the beaches from 11 O'clock morning to 7 O'clock evening doing almost ....nothing. We talked a lot, listened to songs sitting in our car by the side of the beach for hours. Brishti played with sand, collected live crabs to make them her pet. She carried them home too. Our new asset, an used Esteem VXI proved to be a capable long run car. It is a fun to ride this car. It has quite an enjoyable engine and light body to accelerate fas
