Some home made tricks to take Quality Photos.

For the last 2 days I was trying the new settings of my camera and experimenting to take some new cool pictures. As I never had any formal training on Photography so this was my first real attempt to create photo’s at my home with whatever was available. So, I started with the following:

1. 100 Watt Bulb

2. One Glass

3. My Camera Nikon D5000

So, here are the results of the experiment:

Another interesting viewer for images on Linux – Geeqie.

Here is the description:

Geeqie has been forked from the <a class="zem_slink" title="GQview" rel="homepage" href="http://gqview.sourceforge.net">GQview project with the goal of picking up development and integrating patches. It is an <a class="zem_slink" title="Image viewer" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_viewer">image viewer for browsing through graphics files. Its many features include <a class="zem_slink" title="Point-and-click" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-and-click">single click file
viewing, support for external editors, previewing images using <a class="zem_slink" title="Thumbnail" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thumbnail">thumbnails, and zoom.

First off, this is one image viewer with a lot more features than <a class="zem_slink" title="Eye of GNOME" rel="homepage" href="http://www.gnome.org/projects/eog/">EOG or any such light weight image viewer. So, my experience was that it was a little slower in loading images (bigger than 5MB) and opening folders with more than 150 images. Here is a brief of the image viewer with screenshots.
