Optical vs. Digital Zoom

More and more camera manufacturers are choosing to label their digital cameras with the total (optical x digital) zoom. This is an unfortunate development and only serves to confuse consumers.

Most people who have used a 35mm camera or an APS camera are aware of only optical zoom. Optical zoom uses the optics (lens) of the camera to bring the subject closer. Digital zoom is an invention of digital video cameras. It is not uncommon to see digital videocams with 300x digital zoom.

For our purpose, digital zoom is not really zoom, in the strictest definition of the term. What digital zoom does is enlarge a portion of the image, thus ‘simulating’ optical zoom. In other words, the camera crops a portion of the image and then enlarges it back to size. In so doing, you lose image quality. If you’ve been regularly using digital zoom and wondered why your pictures did not look that great, now you know.

Is digital zoom therefore all bad? No, not at all. It’s a feature that you might want in your digital camera (in fact, all digital cameras include some digital zoom, so you can’t really avoid it), especially if you don’t care about using (or don’t know how to use) an image editing software. So, as far as digital zoom is concerned, you can do it in camera or you can do it afterwards in an image editing software. Any cropping and enlarging can be done in an image editing software, such as Photoshop.

So, when a digital camera is advertised with 3x digital zoom, no big deal. You can achieve the same 3x (and in fact as much as you want) digital zoom effect in an image editing software. The advantage of doing it later is that you can then decide exactly which portion to crop and how much to enlarge (3x, 4x, …). If you do it in camera, image quality is irreversibly lost.

My First Time – Humor

It was my first time ever
And I’ll never forget
I’d do it again
Without a single regret.
The sky was dark
The moon was high
We were all alone
Just she and I.
Her hair was soft
Her eyes were blue
I knew just what
She wanted to do.
Her skin so soft
Her legs so fine
I ran my fingers
Down her spine.
I didn’t know how
But I tried my best
I started by placing
My hands on her breast.
I remember my fear
My fast beating heart
But slowly she spread
Her legs apart.
And when I did it
I felt no shame
All at once
The white stuff came.
At last it’s finished
It’s all over now
My first time ever
At milking a cow…

I am the Father of many

Ack: – Vishal Jain

A little boy got on the bus, sat next to a man reading a book, and noticed he had his collar on backwards. The little boy asked why he wore his collar backwards.

The man, who was a priest, said. ” I am a Father.” The little boy replied. “My Daddy doesn’t wear his collar like that.” The priest looked up from his book and answered. “I am the Father of many.”

The boy said. “My Dad has 4 boys, 4 girls and two grandchildren and he doesn’t wear his collar that way!
The priest, getting impatient, said. “I am the Father of hundreds” and went back to reading his book. The little boy sat quietly thinking for a while, then leaned over and said.

“Maybe you should wear a condom and your pants backwards instead of your collar.”

Chintee.com – New venture of Reliance Group

Ack :- Informationmadness.com

Few days ago Startup Dunia talked about a new website coming out of the Reliance hive. The website is called Chintee.com. Chintee (means Ant).

The DNS servers are still pointing to zapak.com and the site used to redirect to BigAdda, which was just launched last week (Reliance social netowkring site).If you look at the registrant information, it is on Nikhil Soman’s name. Organization field is empty. I got this information from who.is query.

The site now provides options to vote for your best logo for the page. This is similar to what they did for BigAdda.com.There are speculations about the site whether its a search engine or something else. Well as the name refers Chintee (an Ant) crawls to places, may be this is a web site crawler.

But the time will tell whats the website about. Till then you can just go to site and vote for your best logo. I voted for Option 2. Thats the picture which comes to my mind when I think of a chintee.

Check it out. www.chintee.com

Expect to see a “Blue Moon” on June 30

For those interested in astronomy, Saturday (June 30) could be a landmark day, for they will be in a position to cite a `Blue Moon’.

According to a Sydney Morning Herald report, the “Blue moon” is a quirky astronomical term used to describe the second full moon in a calendar month, an event which occurs only once every two and a half years.But it hasn’t always been this way. Up until the 1940s, the term blue moon was used to describe the third full moon in a season.However you define it, a blue moon isn’t a common event. On average they occur once every two and a half years, which probably led to the term ‘once in a blue moon’.

So if the moon doesn’t change colour, why use the term ‘blue’?
