Today I Learnt Something

Inspired by one of my gurus(Meenaks), I''m starting this series, where I'll be posting something which I learnt and would like to share with you all. Today I learnt something on Photography and the art of taking better pictures with the wonder device - 'camera'.

Like most of you, I have seen lot of pictures with red eye. Have you ever wondered what's red eye really means or why does it happen? Did you just ask yourself 'yeah why does it happen – we never thought about it' (that's what I thought when a speaker in a seminar put forward this question). The redeye occurs when the camera flash reflects the blood vessels of the retina into the lens. During lower lights our retina gets dilated. The pupils diltaes to adjust the lowlight conditions. So when the high intensity light from the flash falls on the blood cells of the retina and gets reflected, thus giving a red eye effect.

Now what can be done to reduce redeye, first you can buy a camera with reduced or completely eliminated red eye effect. If you already have a camera without these features, the easiest way to reduce the red eye, though not fully eliminating is to shoot the picture from a good distance or use a detachable flash.

Quick snippets about handling your camera and taking better pictures,

- Never compromise on the pixels. Always go for the maximum pixels you're your camera supports. By going for lesser pixels you are wasting the extra money you spent for the camera with a higher MP.
