Sony Ericsson T650 Camera Phone Initial Review

Sony Ericsson News Release Excerpt:
The Sony Ericsson T650 fuses illumination effects with a stainless steel finish and scratch-proof mineral glass, whilst the S500, a slim slider phone, reveals desktop and menu themes that change over time. The Sony Ericsson T650 is all about detail. The illumination effects on the keypad and the sides of the phone interact with animations on the screen. As these animations move across the display they set off waves of light around the keypad, which stand-out against the reflective stainless steel finish.           Initial Review

Types of Light for Various Photo Situations

Tedric Garrison writes, "Photographers like Ansel Adams or Edward Weston have been known to wait for hours or even days, until the light was just right. What makes the light just right? What was it they were waiting for? They were waiting for “the right moment” that brief instant in time when all the elements and principles of design, happen at the same instant. As far as light is concerned, it must compliment your subject. It must enhance the natural beauty, not distract."          Full Article

Interior Photography with Everyday Digital Cameras

Sebastian Palmer writes, "The way to take good pictures without lights is to take several shots with identical framing and different exposure times. To do that you use a tripod. It does not have to be expensive: tripods that you can buy for about £30 ($60) will be just fine, but the table top type will not do. Be sure that its highest position is at about your eye height or above. It doesn't matter if it moves a tiny bit because you will be using a wide lens, so the usual advantages of an expensive tripod are lost."          Full Article

Simple Photography and Dominant Subjects

Tedric Garrison writes, "Look through back issues of Time, Life, or National Geographic Magazines. Some of the greatest photographs of all time are those that are simple. They have a dominate subject, mood, color, or theme. Even when shooting nature, you don’t need to show every blade of grass. If you think a particular tree looks really cool, then make it the dominant subject. Don’t confuse the viewer by showing five or six trees and hoping they see what you saw."          Full Article
