Vouliagmeni Moon Photo with Point and Shoot Camera Believe it or not, it is possible to shoot the Moon with an average point and shoot camera. In fact, for as long as you dispose of a reasonable optical zoom (300–400 mm equivalent) and the possibility to switch to manual settings, you should be able to catch some details of the surface of the moon. Of course there will be a lack of detail and sharpness, but at least you won’t end up with just a white spot on a black background. As today the Moon is at it’s closest to the earth for this year, I did a test run last night and brought back the following shot: Vouliagmeni Moon May 4, 2012 This is about as good as it could get The above was shot with the following F-stop: f/6.3 Exposure time: 1/250 ISO-speed ISO-400 Focal-length: 49 mm 35-mm focal length: 389 Exposure Program: Aperture Priority The idea was to figure out different settings to catch at least some of the texture of the surface of the moon.

Semiomantics EVO Developer Theme 2 years ago, about at the same time of the year, we have built Evo, an Action script driven Flash photo and portfolio website. This time we will make use of HTML5, CSS3 and Java Script to customize Semiomantics EVO, a Semiomantics development for Developers. Semiomantics Evo Flash is not anymore a smart option for development for as long as Apple mobile devices are as popular as they are and for as long as mobile Apple devices will not display Flash. Therefore we have been looking for an alternative to produce smashing and eye-catching sites based on HTML5. Of course the good old Evo Flash driven sites still look great. As a lot of work has been put into them we will try to use namely all the edited images and footage in the new EVO version. Semiomantics EVO Version 2012 The biggest changes are: EVO is now powered by WordPress EVO does not use any Flash but is a responsive HTML5, CSS3 and Java script theme. The new EVO assembles the ultimate in WordPress design and features for modern media display. Ideal for photographers, EVO features not less than 6 different Gallery Types. Galleries [...]

Original Article at Photo Sprites Menu Tutorial.Photo CSS Sprites for WordPress — Free PSD This Tutorial will show you step by step how to build an attractive menu using sprites for your WordPress Photo website. I have used this feature on the below demo site: The menu is placed in the header.php of the WordPress theme (here its Semiomantics XO) in replacement of the navigation. 1. Create the Image file in Photoshop The image file consists roughly of a Filmstrip serving as mask and then the images which are inserted into the film strip. In the normal position, the images are dimmed by a black fill layer at about 75% opacity. The final image looks as follows: Download the PSD File Download my PSD file from HERE. Open the PSD file in Photoshop and inspect it When you open the file in Photoshop, you will find 3 folders in the layer stack: The bottom folder contains the lower film-strip, the next folder concerns the upper film-strip and on top you find the Semiomantics XO Photo Publishing ad which I kick in as a bonus. To start, just make the “ad” folder invisible by clicking on the eye icon placed to the left of the “ad” folder. [...]

Original Article at Photography: How to take Sunset Photos.The impact of the number of focus/metering points Zoom and Vertical angle influence Color Range To illustrate yesterday’s training, here are 3 pictures I just shot out of the window with a point and shoot camera: This first example shows that the sun and the warm colors around represent a small amount of the total image size. To get a dark foreground I used centered metering which causes the foreground to be overexposed since the metering is dominantly done on the light areas around the center of the image. Using Zoom to focus on the warm color range around the sun and by lifting the camera we reduce the importance of the fore ground in terms of importance. The foreground is nicely over exposed while we get plenty of the warm gradients. Forget about the foreground, we just zoom in and try to capture the interesting edges of the cloud. Compared to what the eye sees in nature (first picture) we are here entirely in the heart of the warm color range with an over-saturation of orange/reds. The contrasts get harder and we may miss out on some gradients, however such pictures can be spectacular. Incoming search terms:how to take [...]

Original Article at Super Yacht Octopus.Paul G.Allen parking his Octopus in Vouliagmeni This morning, Paul G.Allan’s Super Yacht, the Octopus was parked in the nice bay of Vouliagmeni. The Co-Founder of Microsoft obviously knows where the world is best! The 126.18 meter long Yacht looks quite impressive in the bay. Considering that the boat was the largest private Yacht when delivered in 2003 it still looks like the real thing ranking number 12. As you can see, there is only one of the two helicopters on board as I take the picture. The Yacht is equipped with it’s own submarine, a cinema, recording studio and about everything an average dude needs to live quietly and nicely off the hassle of these day’s financial markets.

Original Article at How to reach Google Top 10 with Images.Google Top 10 with Photos on XO for WordPress Last night, the participants of the Image Editing and Publishing Seminar by Ycademy, have demonstrated with a live test, how a well published digital photo can reach Google Top 10 on the general as well as on the image search engine. Semiomantics XO takes your Images to Google Top 10 Semiomantics XO is in my opinion the best publishing framework for WordPress. XO powered websites reach high visibility and perform extremely well on search engines namely on Google. Since the release of XO 2011, pre-configured custom post formats are available, namely for media publishing. Here below the screenshots of the top 30 on Google Page 2: Page 3: Search returns on Google The search term: Publishing Digital Photos on WordPress returns over 19 million results.

Original Article at How to Style the WordPress Menu.WP Custom Menu with Rollover Effect This tutorial is based on a recent Custom Photo Blog Theme Development for WordPress on the base of Semiomantics XO. The Solutions apply to most any clean WordPress theme whereas some of the style sheet syntax may vary from theme to theme. The WP Photo Theme — XO Photo The Goal of the exercise was to build a site which will display on mobile platforms as well without the use of WPTouch Pro for example and which offers the possibility to navigate without zooming on mobile phones. This gave us the opportunity to style the Main Navigation (horizontal menu on top of the site. As we are on a photo site we thought about using Menu tabs with images and rollover effects which can be achieved either with sprites or as individual images. We opted for a solution without sprites in this case considering that the difference will not be material on this site. The screenshot shows the rollover effect as it has been taken while the mouse was hovering over the CONTACT tab. The Menu Normal View and the Hover View show the same picture, whereas we put a transparent black layer (85% [...]
