I Need More Days On The Weekend

Expect the best at LPGA Thailand 2010

Posted by Soe On February - 16 - 20101 COMMENT

LPGA’s 2010 season starts this week here in Thailand with Honda-PTT LPGA Thailand at Siam Country Club, Pattaya. I have bought tickets and made arrangements to go there. It will be a 60 players field without cuts and includes 49 players from LPGA’s top 50 money list. With 30 pairs of players playing each day, we need to plan which groups to follow and switch from which group to which group and which hole.. etc.

Lake Success, N.Y., July 22, 2009 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging, announced today the development of Hybrid Image Stabilizer (IS), the world’s first* optical image stabilization technology that compensates for both angle camera shake and shift camera shake. The technology will be featured in interchangeable single lens reflex (SLR) camera lens planned for commercial release before the end of 2009.
Several different preventative methods and corrective procedures have been introduced to compensate for errors caused by camera shake, which occurs when a camera moves while its shutter is open and its image sensor is exposed to light.
Canon began researching methods to compensate for camera shake in the 1980s, and in 1995 launched the EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM, the world’s first interchangeable SLR camera lens to feature a mechanism that compensates for optical camera shake. Since then, the company has continued to produce a variety of interchangeable lenses with image stabilization capabilities, and boasts a total of 21 such lenses in its current product lineup.
Canon’s newly developed Hybrid IS technology optimally compensates for angle and shift camera shake. Sudden changes in camera angle can significantly affect images taken during standard shooting, whereas shift-based shaking, which occurs when a camera moves parallel to the imaging scene, is more pronounced in macro photography and other close-range shooting.
The new Hybrid IS technology incorporates an angular velocity sensor that detects the extent of angle-based shaking and is found in all previous Canon optical image stabilizer mechanisms, as well as a new acceleration sensor that determines the amount of shift-based camera shake. Hybrid IS also employs a newly developed algorithm that synthesizes information from the two sensors to make optimal adjustments, thereby dramatically enhancing the effects of image stabilization during shooting, including macro shooting, which had proven difficult for conventional image stabilization technologies.
Canon is actively engaged in ongoing research and development of interchangeable SLR camera lenses incorporating Hybrid IS technology, and is aiming for the early commercialization and inclusion of the lenses in a wide range of products.

Canon standard 50mm Primes

Posted by Soe On June - 18 - 2009ADD COMMENTS

The 50mm lens are sometimes called standard lens because they closely match the magnification of human eye.  Like most fixed aperture lenses, these 50mm primes have much brighter aperture (smaller F number) than zoom lenses. Read the rest of this entry »

ISO

Posted by Soe On June - 16 - 2009ADD COMMENTS

ISO is the measurement of sensitivity of the image sensor. The lower the number the less sensitive the camera is to light and the finger the grain. Higher ISO settings allow faster shutter speeds, but at a cost of noisier shots. Read the rest of this entry »
