Composition is defined as the combining of distinct parts or elements to form a whole.
In photography that definition is very important in taking quality pictures.
The following rules of composition should be learned and considered but not necessarily used in every photo.
Once you have learned these rules you will be more observant of the possible photo opportunities that surround you.
But keep in mind that the really famous photographers usually find a creative way to stretch or break the rules of composition.RULE OF THIRDSThe rule of thirds has been used through the centuries and is probably the most recognized rule.
The rule of thirds directs that the frame can be divided into three vertical sections and three horizontal sections.
Wherever the separating lines connect is an ideal spot for a subject or point of interest.
By positioning your main subject at any of the four intersection points, you are giving your subject more emphasis than if it is right in the middle of the photo.
The intersection points can also work if there is more than one main subject in a photo.
Most famous photographs and paintings have the rule of thirds applied to them in some way or another.SIMPLICITYThe simplicity rule directs that you should keep the items in your photo relatively simple.
If your main subject is close to the lens, then your background should be very simple in order to avoid distractions.
Another good idea is to avoid objects or lines that lead the eye away from your main subject.CONTRASTThe contrast rule directs that light subjects should be placed against dark backgrounds and vice versa.FRAMINGThe framing rule directs that using natural surroundings mindfully can add more meaning and focus to your subject.
The surroundings could be anything such as bushes, windows, trees or even a doorway.
When using this rule be sure to focus on the main subject and not on the surroundings that are framing it.
It is also a good idea to use a narrow aperture (high f/stop) when using this rule in order to create a high depth-of-field.TEXTUREThe texture rule can add a great amount of interest to most photos.
When people see texture in a photo it can spark their imagination and make the photo more real to life.
Texture would be a good idea when taking photos of rocks, walls, surfaces, hands or even leaves.
In order to create texture try to compose your photo so the light is coming from the side and therefore casting shadows in key places.DIAGONALSThe diagonal rule directs that diagonal elements or lines can make a photo more dynamic.
Diagonal elements could be fence posts, roads or even tree branches.LEADING LINESThe leading lines rule can be used to direct the eye deeper into a photo and commonly to the main subject.
Leading lines can lure the eye to a subject by leading to it from any side or depth of the photo.
Leading lines could be roads, rivers, tree branches or even bridges.COLORThe color rule is what adds interest and emotion to your pictures.
Different color configurations can inspire and amaze viewers.
Colors can also be used to accent certain parts of a photo.It might not be a bad idea to keep these key terms with you when you practice taking photos.
The best way to learn and improve your composition is just to use them often and to experiment..
Keeping in Step With the Needs of Rework Technology
Single Springs, CA November 16, 2005PDR-America and Thermalogix, Inc. have joined forces to provide rework systems with the most accurate temperature delivery and monitoring in the marketplace today.ThermaLogix provides its recently introduced and technically advanced non-contact sensor,the TL-75. PDR-Americas proven IR technology is in the forefront when it comes to reworking micro-sized components prevalent in the lead free environment.While many "make do" methods are being used to provide accurate temperature control, such as visually monitoring the solder at reflow or attempting to tack thermocouples to the PCB, they all rely somewhat on the user's skill or intervention. PDR-America has moved a step forward by now offering ThermaLogixs unique non-contact pyrometer.ThermaLogix TL-75 Series pyrometers measure the average temperature of just the target rather than measuring spill over areas adjacent to the target. In rework applications this means the TL-75 can accurately measure...

How a Digital Camera Works
The digital camera is not something of a magic box that came out of the blue and made wonders! The digital camera is very much like the conventional analog camera, but the technology has been altered. It also contains most of the associated components that the conventional camera contains, like lens and a shutter for letting in light, however instead of reaching a photosensitive film, the light is made to fall upon array of image sensors or photosensitive cells. Much of the differences are like this, yet most of it still remains in oblivion for the ordinary people. And it order that the digital camera gets its true respect, it is necessary to explore these areas of truth and reveal them in light.Looking a bit more in details about the working of the fantastic device, the digital camera. As a continuation of the above lines, it can be further investigated that the sensor array is basically a microchip about 10 mm across.
Every image sensor is a charged-couple device (CCD) converting...
