Photography Basics

Main

So much of art in general and specifically photography concerns the way the artist goes about capturing light. Because of the purity of light, many beginning photographers think good photography occurs because of a camera instead of because the photographer utilized the camera to capture the light in a thought evoking manner because the magic of photography and art in general is light. After the elements of art and photography are taught, it is with an understanding then that the budding photographer realizes the camera is designed around the principle of capturing light and not just an instrument to capture an image.

However, in order to do this artistically, the photographer must be able to manipulate the camera or otherwise manipulate themselves, the camera and even the time of day and weather conditions in order to maximize the effectiveness of this light. So a basic camera is set up so that a person can affect this instrument to capture light. The basic theory surrounding this will give us three tips, and each tip will be a point in a theory called the exposure triangle.

It is not only believed theoretically, but proven in many situations photographically that good shots only occur when these three points of the triangle can be manipulated most effectively by the camera’s operator. These three elements are aperture, shutter speed and ISO, and they affect the image that results from a camera’s shutter opening, collecting light and producing an image. So our three tips are a primer on these elements.

Aperture is defined as the size of the dimensions of which a lens can open, and a small number corresponds with a wide opening because the size of the aperture determines how much light is allowed into the camera through the lens, but aperture also effects depth and blurring among other things. The aperture is expressed in a number set like f/5 or f/11 for example.

Next is shutter speed, but is more accurately defined as the length of time the shutter is open, so slow shutter speeds allow more light in because of the amount of time the shutter is open is greater. Faster shutter speeds allow photographers to freeze motion or to make effects from the slower shutter speeds like motion blur because shutter speed makes the camera very sensitive to motion. Shutter sped is expressed as measure of time in very small increments of seconds like 1/200 sec up to 5 sec in some cases.

The third point of the exposure triangle is ISO. Cameras have a light sensor, and the measure of a camera’s light sensor’s sensitivity to light is called ISO. Cameras that possess very high ISOs are utilized to take photographs in darker situations, but with a negative side effect of producing often grainy images. ISO is expressed as 100 ISO to 6400 ISO for example.

A Few Words about Debt Settlement

Main

It is true that today many people are in debt. As a matter of fact, the number of people who are finding themselves in this sort of predicament is truly staggering. It is something that has never been seen before. Just look around you and you will know exactly what I am talking about here.

The truth is that once you start being in debt, it might not be that easy to have your financial life under control. You will soon start realising that those who gave you the money start having demands that are usually high to fulfill. This is something that happens to many people, but fortunately such situations can be easily avoided with the help of debt settlement companies who are there to help.

Those who are in debt usually seek debt negotiation help that can relieve them of debt as soon as possible. When you want to succeed in debt settlement, you will need to negotiate the settlement with your creditors. You need to be prepared for the negotiations and you definitely should never ever go for it alone as it can end really badly for you. In other words, you need to take all the necessary steps to ensure that you are as prepared as it is possible because only this way can you succeed. This might not be an easy process, as you will have to convince your lenders to reduce your payments even if you are very late with your payments.

I am sure that you would all agree that having a credit card debt can be a stressful experience especially for those who happen to find themselves in such a situation for the very first time. Since it might be very difficult, I suggest that you use the help of professional finance advisors. Professional advisors will help you with credit card debt reduction in a way that nobody else can help. I am glad that companies offering debt settlement services exist, as usually debt settlement can be confusing for an individual. As I have learned from my own experience, the whole process can be difficult to understand for an average person such as me or you. This is why, if you found yourself in a financial crisis, know that things do not look as bad as they seem to look even if they look really bad. In every situation, there is always a solution. If you struggle paying your debts, know that debt settlement benefits are bigger than filing for bankruptcy. Debt settlement or debt negotiation can solve all your problems. The companies who specialise in such matters will make you debt free in no time, even sooner than you might think. Debt settlement advisors are trained in credit negotiation so that they can help whoever asks them for a helpful hand as this is something they do on a daily basis. They are professionals who negotiate with creditors every day. Debt negotiation services are available to you no matter where you live or where your country is located.

E-commerce warehouse: tips from Logistiko

Main

Since most courier companies offer delivery within one day, the key task of the warehouse is to prepare the orders for dispatch on the day of placing them by the customer. How to achieve this goal using simple methods?

It would seem that warehouse designed to handle e-commerce is a warehouse like any other. Products come in deliveries and then they are released. However, the specificity of e-commerce and high expectations of buyers mean that the organization of an e-commerce warehouse entail several specific requirements.

Order completion is essential.

Nowadays, almost every client who makes a purchase online expects to receive goods on the next day. In e-commerce survey conducted by Gemius in 2016 in Poland – the most common problem with online shopping mentioned in customer’s opinions is the long wait for delivery of goods (35% – Logistiko internal data). In a similar survey from 2015, high cost of shipping was in the first place, while the long delivery time was second. It is clear that the order completion time and expectations associated with it are gaining importance year after year.

Since most courier companies offer delivery within one day, the key task of the warehouse is to prepare the orders for dispatch on the day of placing them by the customer. How to achieve this goal using simple methods?

Courier package collection hours

Depending on the location of the warehouse and the number of packages per day, couriers offer a variety of schedules for collecting them. Of course, the key is to find a courier company that will offer not only favourable prices, but also the latest pick-up hours. This will allow the warehouse to have more time for handling the orders (e.g. if the courier collects the packages around 15:00, then automatically no order placed after that time has a chance to be sent out on the same day and delivered on the next day).

Warehouse working hours

The natural tendency is to balance the number of warehouse employees during the day. For example, if the warehouse employees work on two shifts, it is natural to balance the number of employees for both shifts. However, most often in the case of e-commerce, the number of orders is not distributed evenly throughout the day. Usually, the amount of orders increases in the afternoon. In addition, the later the orders get to the warehouse, the less time is left for packing them and preparing for dispatch.

Therefore, before assigning working hours to employees, it is always a good idea to consider whether you really need the same number of employees on each shift?

Almost certainly the answer will be – in the afternoon, we need more staff than in the morning.

Arrangement of goods on the shelves

This is very often ignored in the case of warehouses using WMS support, where recognition of products is based on barcodes. In such a situation, it seems that the placement of goods is of secondary importance, because the employee has to scan the product before taking it from the shelf anyway. The error in such reasoning is that before the employee scans the product, he first needs to find it, most often visually (otherwise, he would have to mindlessly scan every product on the shelf until he finds the right one).

The greater the density of goods on the shelf, the more time it takes to identify and scan the right one. Since warehouses are not made of rubber, the density on shelves is often inevitable. So, what to do? Ensure that products that are similar to each other are not placed next to each other. Optimization of the products’ distribution for one of our clients who sells small electronic products, which differ from one another only by symbols, shortened the time of searching for products by more than half, and thus, increased our confidence that we will be able to deliver all orders on the same day.

As you can see, improving the work of your warehouse for e-commerce does not have to require big investment or costs. Sometimes, it is enough to think carefully about what prevents faster completion of orders and remove these obstacles one by one. For more details please visit http://logistiko.eu/.

5 Simple Ways to Slash Your Car Budget

Main

Trying to maintain a balanced budget is a little like trying to maintain your balance on a tightrope. Just when you think you have the hang of it, a gust of wind comes by and leaves you flailing. For most people, transportation costs are some of the most unpredictable and burdensome budgeting factors. However, you are not doomed to a lifetime of hefty car expenses. Here are five changes you can make to your vehicle-related spending that could help you enjoy bigger savings and a more predictable budget.

1. Trade in Your Car

While the actual process of trading in your car is not always simple, the results can dramatically simplify your life and your budget. For example, if you bought a new car this year and have been struggling to make the payments, you can do yourself a huge favor by selling your current vehicle and purchasing a slightly older but gently used model. Car values depreciate so rapidly that you may be paying top dollar for a vehicle that is already worth 20 percent less than when you originally bought it.

On the flip side, perhaps you have been driving an absolute beater for a while and regularly drop hundreds of dollars into making repairs. The wisest course of action, in this case, may actually be to spend a few months saving for a down payment on a more reliable vehicle. In both cases, your end goal is to minimize the sum of your monthly payments plus your monthly maintenance costs.

2. Update Your Car Insurance

Shopping for car insurance is such a hassle that most people are content to stick with whatever policy they already have. However, thinking this way can be a big mistake when it comes to your budget. Circumstances change over time, and you may qualify for discounts today that did not exist four years ago. To learn more about what different companies have to offer, you can use comparison tools like the one on www.carinsurancecheap.net. Tools like this one provide useful information about coverage rates in your area as well as crucial saving tips.

3. Learn Maintenance Basics

Most people lack the time, resources, or desire necessary to perform all their own vehicle maintenance, which is why mechanics shops exist. However, you can save hundreds of dollars if you learn to handle some basic maintenance tasks on your own. For example, instead of paying labor and facility fees for a mechanic to change your tail lights, you can do the same job on your own for a few dollars. There are millions of car maintenance tutorial videos available online, so you can teach yourself some useful new tricks for free.

4. Walk or Bike

Cars are obviously meant to be driven, but excessive use is one of the major contributors to breakdowns. You can prolong the life of the car and reduce the frequency of breakdowns by walking or biking to your destinations whenever you can. While it might seem easier to drive two minutes to the post office, walking there instead will give you the exercise you need and your car the rest it deserves. Walking and biking more will also help you cut back on your gas expenditures, enabling you to allocate that money to different areas of your budget.

5. Use Public Transportation

Of course, you probably do not live within walking or biking distance of all your regular destinations. If this is the case, then consider using public transportation when possible. Once again, you will save money on gas and avoid putting excessive wear on your car. Public transportation also gives you the opportunity to walk a few extra steps and avoid the hassle of finding and paying for parking in busy areas. If you need more convincing, try using a fuel savings calculator like this one to see exactly how much you can save with public transportation.

Simplify and Save

No one wants to waste money, but it happens all too easily. While cars tend to be a particularly significant source of costs, there are multiple ways to modify your spending habits in this area. Whether you adopt all five of these methods or stick with just one, they can help you enjoy more room in your monthly budget and more simplicity in your daily life.
