So I got a hold of this game and I have previously played Guns of the Patriots and the Metal Gear Solid for the Playstation. The problem is I only played the early part of Snake Eater. So my question is how vital is Snake Eater in playing this game story-wise?
Is it important to play Snake Eater before this?

Not all that vital, honestly. You could understand MGS4 perfectly fine without ever playing Snake Eater.

Well said.
@RedCream: They talk about it on this weeks bombcast. The story from the game is really well done and it does give you some insight to how Big Boss made the decisions he did. Just the in game systems for eating and injuries can get really monotonousness.

Yes, play it before 4. It's just as important to the overall story of the Metal Gear franchise as MGS1 and MGS2.
MGS3 is probably the best in the series and I'd argue that MGS4 is the least stand alone. Instead of being a sequel to just 2, it is a sequel to 1, 2 and 3, There are many things In 3 it tries to wrap up along with plot threads from 1 and 2. It's kind of its greatest strength and biggest weakness.

Without watching 3 the ending 4 makes less sense. That is to say less than zero. Which is what it is returning to. Not one.

I don't know how anyone can say playing MGS3 isn't important in order to understand 4. It's pretty much essential.
I would play through all of them to get maximum enjoyment out of it. I love every game in the MGS series and it's probably my favorite game series ever.
Make sure you play the Subsistence version of Snake Eater (the one found in the HD collection) because it replaces the fixed camera with a controllable 3rd person camera, which makes the game way better.

Do it. It's a good game, plus the story is good and if you're into Metal Gear you should check it out.
Required.... vital? Maybe not.... Maybe. But Snake Eater is the best MGS game (in my opinion), and it will definitely give you a better grasp of what is going on as well as a greater appreciation of the backstory. So with that said, yes, it is vital you play it, because it is a great game with a great story and great characters.

I would play MGS3 just because it's a great game. I highly recommend the HD Collection if possible, otherwise look for MGS3: Subsistence. The camera options in that version are better.

Well, 4 explains a shit tonne from both 2 and 3, so you should probably just buy the HD pack and play them both.
I'd say that it isn't necessary, but it will fill in a lot of stuff that you wouldn't know otherwise.
Or you could just read this, in the order posted. That will fill you in on EVERYTHING up to this point.

and this.
In all honesty, both answers are valid. You don't HAVE to play 3 before playing 4 but it will give you a broader understanding of the plot points. From what I remember MGS 4 references MGS 3 quite a lot not to mention that there is a major character in both games.

My daughter will be visiting a gun show in her college town today, in hopes of finding a holster for her Bersa 380CC. She's very slender and dresses in a classic style (untucked shirts are verboten), so I'm guessing she will ultimately wind up with a P3AT/LCP/CW9/709 or the like, carried in pocket or smart carry. I'm hoping that Pax will produce a DVD or at least a web page with photos from her upcoming holster event. I'm sorry to say that my daughter won't be able to attend.
But for now, she's of a mind to see what holster(s) she might be able to use with the Bersa. Are there any types (or brands if you feel led to name them) which you would suggest she stay away from? For instance, one brand appears to be thin nylon over a cardboard snow-cone holder... I'm assuming that she should stay away from those. Any more advice on what to avoid?

Avenged Sevenfold's M. Shadows Recalls His Favorite Christmas Gift
Avenged Sevenfold's M. Shadows talks about his favorite childhood Christmas present.
Avenged Sevenfold are one of the most successful American heavy metal bands of the third millennium, with an estimated 8 million copies sold of their six studio albums. First formed in 1999, in the Orange County town of Huntington Beach, California, A7X, for short, released a pair of independent albums, inspired primarily by the period's metalcore trends, before moving to a major label for their breakthrough third album, 'City of Evil,' released in 2005. This saw the band, consisting of singer M. Shadows, guitarists Synyster Gates and Zacky Vengeance, bassist Johnny Christ and drummer James "The Rev" Sullivan, embracing a more traditional hard rock and metal sound that persists on subsequent releases. Sullivan died from a drug overdose in 2009, prompting the temporary recruitment of Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy for the recording of 2010's 'Nightmare.' Another blockbuster album, 2013's Billboard number one, 'Hail to the King, followed in 2013 and introduced new drummer Arin Ilejay.

MONROE The Union County school board discussed redistricting options Tuesday night but did not take another vote on the countys offer to buy mobile classrooms to help with overcrowding.
The school board is considering Unions first countywide redistricting plan, which would require about 5,800 of its 41,800 students 14 percent to change schools to deal with overcrowding.
Last week, the board rejected the $3 million offer from county commissioners for mobile classrooms. A number of the parents who packed the meeting room Tuesday had hoped that the board would reconsider the county offer.
When the meeting ended without a vote, some in the crowd yelled, What about the $3 million and Shame on you.
Last week, school board members and county commissioners disagreed over the nature of the countys offer and whether it came with conditions attached to it.
School board Chairman Richard Yercheck said the trailers would have helped with seating capacity issues but would not eliminate the need for some redistricting. And some schools populations would still need to be capped for safety reasons.
Three of the districts 53 schools are at maximum capacity and have had their enrollment capped this school year.
The trailers are not the panacea some people perceive it to be, Yercheck said.
Commissioners Chairman Frank Aikmus attended the meeting and said he was very disappointed in their lack of action.
During the meeting, school staff discussed options that board members had wanted them to research.
That included reconfiguring some schools for different grade levels. The staff discussed cost and program changes needed for those changes.
Another idea was to possibly exempt from redistricting students who would be in fifth, eighth, 10th or 11th grade next year. That would cover about 2,400 students, and families would have to agree to provide their own transportation.
If all current students are exempted from redistricting, it would require more county funding for additional buses, staff said. And there also would be more schools that would come close to capping levels.
Rising high school seniors are already exempt from redistricting.
Also Tuesday, the school board set the date for two four-hour public hearings on the controversial redistricting plan.
The sessions will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday at Monroe High School, and 6 p.m. Monday at Parkwood High School.
The board said it needs to make a final decision on redistricting by April.
School board member Sherry Hodges spoke out against the need for redistricting and was interrupted by applause from the crowd. I think anxiety is high and trust is low among the boards stakeholders, she said.
Some parents worry that their kids might move to lower-performing schools or that property values could fall depending on what schools are associated with their neighborhood. Others are concerned about disrupting their childrens lives by a switch in schools.
In other action, Superintendent Mary Ellis said the district will add 11 minutes to the end of the school days for 60 days starting on the first Monday in March to make up for two snow days.

According to rumors that first started coming up yesterday, Nike has let go the majority of its Nike FuelBand team and will soon stop making wearable technology. To many this might come as a big surprise, after all the efforts that the brand has put into this section of its business over the last years. Once you take a closer look at the decision and realize that they actually might want to stop producing the hardware, but not the software, the decision starts to make sense. One thing is communicating directly with your end consumer on a regular basis through software, apps and community online platforms. Staying on top of the hardware game though, and competing with tech giants in that field is a totally different undertaking. With many others moving into the space, Nike might have understood that it is easier to ingrate their software in the future in other brands' hardware then constantly innovating on both ends. The rumor has not been confirmed yet, but it does make sense to us. For now you can still buy the Nike FuelBand from Nike.com, but that might be changing soon. What do you think?

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Hey, how you all doing? This is "Cooking with Dave" once again. I'm Dave. I am the world's greatest chef. I know that I am because it says so right here on my apron.
Anyway, today I'm making myself with somebody and a couple had asked if I'm going to make some Mexican food, some traditional Mexican food. I said, "Sure." One at least some guacamole and some chicken ribs. So we're going to do some fat chicken Quesadillas.
I fried me some breast. Now, just in case the glow skin with this chicken breast just tries to the Dave style. You know how we fry them Dave style on the last, fried chicken video and you'll know don't. It's good stuff. We're going to cut them up and cube them up, put them in a tortillas shell. Put some cheese and some onions or pepper or salt and then put them on top of this is guacamole. This one is very, very good with tomatoes. We'll show how you to put it again.
Okay, first thing we got to do we'll just make our guacamole. So the first thing we'll make guacamole and we've got to clean our avocados. We just take out avocado, cut that bad boy in half. Well, this looks much better. That's the way our avocado looked. Let's clean up the inside out of peeling here. Let's put down it to our bowl. You see how we did that just to scrape that out the peel in and just put it into the bowl.
Well, after all that I now have one avocado which is kind of to drain. You do it over like this with just too ripe. This is one here is almost too ripe but I don't know. I want to go maybe this one for here to make a little guacamole. You didn't need the whole lot of guacamole for at least of this and this should be alright.
So, this mass of avocado, peel it but if you're ready to peel it and then just mashing up with a fork if you can and just start adding our stuff. What we do is to take a little bit of green onion and throw it on there. A little bit of red and just chopped and mince up or then throw just a little bit of the fruit, mix that up in there, okay.
Then move on to maybe pinches of salt, mix that one there and just a black pepper and you do this taste, just to whatever you think tastes good, black pepper or salt, onion, red onion, a bit of chili peppers whatever you feel like you want to put in that you could put in there for your guacamole. That's way we're going to mix up with that now, we'll take a little bit of lime juice, lemon juice something of a little citrus in it and this is just enough to give a little flavor and that is guacamole which I have a little more avocados. I don't have to like have more guacamole in there but it will be okay.
Alright, we are cooking chicken Quesadillas. What I want to do is put a little butter on a baking dish, take water or baking dish since you have you didn't have to put within that oven. Go ahead and preheat your oven at 350. Wipe your panel with something, put a small oil or something so your tortilla won't stick and put a couple down there on your pan like that, okay.
Then, we'll take some cheese, just put a little cheese right in the middle and kind of make go round track, keep it off the pan if you can but just a thin there of cheese and chicken on there. You come down into chicken, fried chicken that is cut out to pieces, some regular Dave fried chicken.
We're going to spread this up and make a thin layer of it also, as thin as possible you know. That will be alright but if you want to, you stir fry your chicken with some onions or some vegetables and a few things and just to flavor those up and then right on that. Now, we'll these a little bit of bacon now cooked that I made kind of crispy and I crumble a little wrap in little bits. We put some bacon throughout my kid's dinner then we'll take some red onion. We'll put some red onion. I just chopped it the pieces one to bits. Then we'll put some green onions.
Now, you could put whatever you want on your Quesadillas; if you like, it put it on there. You want with some bell peppers or green bell peppers or red bell peppers or whatever you like, carrots, halabenos, if you liked it stick it on this thing. I liked onions. I liked the green onions, red onions. I liked the cheese and the bacon and the chicken. It's just about I liked so that's about the only one that I liked.
Let's take some first tomatoes, just to dice them up. Peel them and dice them up nice and small and I'm just going to put them right on top of that thing, like that make them round, try to make them thin layers. This thing could be a little thick. That's alright. This will only we do, guacamole dip with sour cream action, maybe a salad.
Now, I'll come back with some more cheese on top of this side to finish it off. We won't try to make this thing as flat as we can. It will some of the bits are red and that I think the day off. And then we'll put on right on top of that. And like I said, you can put whatever you like and you won't face a deal and you want to make sure it will be good. Now, I want to put this on the oven at 350 degrees probably for about 15 to 20 minutes. We'll take a look at it so it looks like.
It's now in the oven for about 15 minutes. This one is going to make sure that it turned to brown. They are light brown actually then we're done and men these things are going to get light enough again.
It's hot. And there you have it chicken Quesadillas. Okay, there we have our chicken quesadillas. There's only one full up serving with a little guacamole, maybe some sour cream where we dip these things and it will be wonderful.
You have a lot of making stuff some chicken Quesadillas. Now, this has been "Cooking with Dave" once again. I'm the world's greatest chef. It says so right here on my apron. Alright, you all agree with it. Bye.

Zac Efron Discovers 'Fire'
Thursday, January 28 by
If you say Zac Efron really fast, it sounds like the name of a pharmaceutical. Like, side effects of Zacefron may cause jazz hands. But that's besides the point. The point of this article is that the High School Musical, Me and Orson Welles star is trying the action genre on for size.In Fire, Efron plays a college student recruited by the CIA to work as an assassin around the world. Things get complicated when he learns that NAMBLA has set their sights on him he himself may be targeted for assassination. That's an intriguing premise and Brian Michael Bendis, the writer, has a sharp style so let's hope this will be more Bourne and less Agent Cody Banks. We won't know for sure until we can safely say that Corbin Bleu has been barred from the set. (Deadline Hollywood)

'Poltergeist' Curse Strikes Again: Zelda Rubinstein Dead at 76
Wednesday, January 27 by
Kim Jong-il look-a-like/actress who scared the crap out of six-year old me, Zelda Rubinstein, has passed away. The actress, best known as Tangina in the Poltergeist films, was taken off life support two months ago after two major organs failed her. She eventually succumbed to these ailments earlier today at the age of 76. Tragically, another victim to the rumored Poltergeist curse. It just won't stop until it has Craig T. Nelson in its icy clutches. (Radar)
Sam Worthington Growing Dracula Fangs for 'Year Zero'
Wednesday, January 27 by
I did saber toothed tiger fangs 'cause they're funnier. Leave the room if you got a problem.Sam Worthington, who must have made a pact with the Devil to achieve his current "it" status, has signed on to play the "it" vampire in Dracula Year Zero. The film, which is being directed by Alex Proyas (he worked with Nic Cage so we should be good), explores the origin of Dracula in a tragic love story chalk full of love and war shrouded in homoerotic nuance no doubt.Worthington already played a cyborg and an alien, he'll soon be seen as a Greek hero in Clash of the Titans, and now he can add a cape and widow's peak latex cap to his costume drawer. I'd say he's about as versatile an actor as Gary Oldman.As Vince from FilmDrunk would say, "That tastes like a burn."(LatinoReview, THR)

Ashley Judd is best known for two things (no, not those two things): being a member of a famous country-singing family, and starring in bad thrillers, usually alongside Morgan Freeman. Now she's battling wits with The Rock in The Tooth Fairy. Nice career move…A word from Ashley: "Those born-and-bred, feisty Kentucky girls—they are the ones you have to look out for.

Here are some that we believe are worth mentioning. 16. Special Agent Starling vs. Hannibal Lecter Eat people, listen to classical music, break out of prison. Repeat. And he killed the principal from Boston Public (everybody wanted to do it; he got there first). Special Agent Starling just ran around and tried to get people out of basement dungeons. Nice work, but there's no money in it. Plus, I tried Chianti with fava beans. It's pretty kick ass. 15. Llewelyn Moss vs. Anton ChigurhTry this just once for a job interview.

Conan Gets His 'Justice' at NBC
Wednesday, January 27 by
Conan is back at NBC. Kinda sorta. Less than a week after his last appearance as host of The Tonight Show, the network has picked up a pilot from his Conaco production company. The show, previously known as Justice, is an hour-long drama that revolves around a Supreme Court Justice who leaves Capitol Hill to start his own law practice. There's no word whether or not a big-chinned rival judge was the reason the protagonist jumped ship.I'm holding out hope that this goes to series and Masturbating Bear guest stars in an episode that centers around a public indecency case. That's the least you can do for us, NBC. (Variety)

Photography Made Easy: Learn To Take Great Photos
Photography is a wonderful hobby and can also be an amazing art form. If you want to make photography your hobby, these tips can help you do this.
Employ digital post-processing to make photos appear as pencil sketches, water colors, oil paintings, and more. There are a variety of photo editing programs out there, but all the cool kids use Photoshop. Often, turning a photo into a work of art is easy; simply apply a filter in the medium of your choice.
When shooting pictures on an overcast day, avoid capturing the sky in the image. Having too much gray sky can make your shots appear washed-out and muted. If you find yourself shooting into overcast skies, taking classic, black and white photos may be your best option. If, on the other hand, the sky is clear and blue, include more of it but consider how the additional light affects the rest of your shot.
Always highlight your very best images for showcases and displays. Do not display all of your photos or ones of the same things over and over. Seeing the same things repeatedly can become boring. Keep things unique by trying out different types of shots.
When you travel, take unusual photos of things such as souvenirs. Make separate photo albums for each trip you have photographed. This creative project helps to create a more memorable connection with the objects and sights from your travels.
Flash Unit
Built-in flash comes on almost all digital cameras. It can kick in automatically in low-light situations. The convenience of this feature can be great for quick candid shots; however, if your goal is more professional shots, weigh options for the purchase of an external flash option. This will allow greater diversity in your lighting needs. Before you decide to purchase, check your existing camera and look for a "hot shoe" that can accommodate a new flash unit. This is usually located on top of the device. Next head to your nearest professional camera shop to find a flash unit that is compatible with your camera.
Putting your models at ease is important, especially if they are unfamiliar with you. A photographer has a powerful presence, and some subjects feel intimidated. So be nice, initiate a conversation, then ask them if you could take their picture. Turn people onto the idea that photography is a form of art, rather than a form of predation.
Spend some time taking photos with another photographer, or join a photography club. You could learn a lot from other people, but do not let their style influence your pictures. Compare your pictures to the ones your friends took to see how one subject can be seen differently.
Educating yourself about appropriate composition can help your photography improve, regardless of whether you are a beginner or an experienced photographer. As with anything artistic, the composition determines if the photo is of the highest quality possible. Try studying and applying the rules of composition to all your photos to get better at photography.
You might now view photography as a simple hobby, but you can easily elevate it to an artform. Using what was said in the above article, you will be able to take better photographs that you can enjoy. Start implementing these tips right away, but don't forget that it will take some time and practice to perfect your use of many of these techniques.
Simple Strategies On How To Take Better Photos
Improving you photography skills only takes a little bit of work and creativity. If you keep reading on, you will discover a wealth of information to help develop your skills as a photographer.
Do not let your subject get away from you! If you take too long, your subject could move, run away or something could change that could ruin your photo. The faster the camera can take pictures, the better chance you have to get a good picture.
Keep the knowledge of the settings on your camera simple. Focus on learning a single aspect of your camera's settings before moving on to the others. This will let you focus on the picture you are trying to capture, instead of wasting time messing around with your camera while your subjects walk away.
A dSLR is a must have if you are seriously pursuing photography. A DSLR is a single-lens reflex camera that is digital. These cameras are superior when it comes to viewing your subject just as the image is shot. A full-frame DSLR gives the most comprehensive photos, and the largest image sensor.
External Flash
Most modern digital cameras have a flash that automatically deploys when they detect low-light situations. Whereas this feature is great for quick photographer, you should consider purchasing something with an external flash in order to have more professional photographs, as well as to give you more options for lighting. Find out if your camera comes with a "hot shoe" attached to the top that will allow an external flash to be attached. If you are not familiar with cameras, consider going to a professional to ensure you have purchased an external unit that is compatible with your camera.
While having a little bit of talent will help you to take amazing photos, so will a little bit of knowledge on how to go about it. This article can help any new photographer get started on their way to taking impressive photographs.
How To Increase Your Photography Skills
Most people enjoy photography. It is generally because those photographers know more tricks of the trade than the average joe blow, and they pour masses of effort into their shots. Keep reading for a selection of insights and ideas that are commonly used by successful photographers.
Choose the subject of your photo. An excellent photo will function like a little window, showing a moment in time for your subject. Don't attempt to include too much. Instead of trying to put everything into one picture, take a whole series of photos to really capture everything about a subject.
If the sky looks overcast, minimize its appearance in your picture. Leaving too much of the gray sky in your photograph might make the whole shot look too muted and lacking in contrast. Black and white photos can work great for an overcast sky. However, if there's a beautiful blue sky, use it as often as you want to; however, you should still be aware of the light.
Direct Sunlight
Although beautiful sunlit days are enjoyable and provide high light for taking pictures, direct sunlight can also ruin a photograph. It causes odd shadows and glare, and direct sunlight in the eyes of the photographer or the person being filmed is never good. If you're going to be taking photographs outside, try to take them early in the morning or late in the evening.
When you are snapping pictures of people, you can blur the background a bit to get the best effect. When the background is fully focused, it can detract away from your subject, making it harder for you to keep your viewer's attention on the right pieces of your photo. You can do this by making the background farther away than your subject.
Larger Memory Card
Purchase a memory card large enough to store the many photographs you will take on your way to becoming a better photographer. When you increase the memory on your camera with a larger memory card, you will better be able to avoid running out of memory when you are shooting a lot of pictures. Owning a larger memory card also means you can take shots in RAW format, increasing your options during the editing process.
Next, get your camera and try implementing this advice. You'll be surprised just how fast your photography gets better.

To give a general impression of a subject, take a different pictures and organize them in a series rather than trying to capture everything in one picture.
Shutter Speed
Pay attention to the speed of your shutter and test out various scenes by alternating it. Different shutter speeds allow you to get quick action shots, as well as blur several seconds worth of time together. To freeze moving objects, try out a fast shutter speed. A slower shutter speed will help to capture calm, natural scenes.
It is a good idea to look at what other photographers do in order to get inspiration. Looking at the work of other photographers will remind you that there are endless ways to capture a moment.
Do you want to work with exposure? You should take the time to educate yourself on shutter speed. The shutter speed settings you will find on your camera are: P,M,A & S. P means your program mode. This is the fully automatic setting of your camera, and it sets the aperture and shutter speed automatically for you. If you are unsure of what you'll be taking a picture of, use P.
Take pictures when you leave when traveling. Once you get where you're going, there will be ample photographic opportunities, but the trip itself can provide some unique shots. Take photos of the trip, the airport, for example, is filled with sights that would make wonderful trip mementos.
First and foremost photography should be enjoyable. It is an invaluable tool for capturing a moment in time that could otherwise be forgotten. If you allow yourself to have fun and experiment during the learning process, you are more likely to continue actively learning new techniques.

When you are setting up a photograph, keep your effort simple. You can usually take a great picture without playing with advanced settings.
Consider purchasing a dSLR in order to take professional style photos. Digital single-lens reflex cameras are the ideal way to view your subject just after you take the photograph. A full-frame DSLR gives the most comprehensive photos, and the largest image sensor.
Field depth is a critical feature when shooting landscapes. An object in the foreground of your shot can create the illusion of depth by providing scale. To gain sharper images, adjust your aperture to a smaller setting; try f/16 for full-frame single lens reflex cameras and f/8 for the more standard digital ones.
Above all, photography is something to be enjoyed. Use photography to create memories that last a lifetime, reminding you of places you've been and people you've known. If you allow yourself to have fun and experiment during the learning process, you are more likely to continue actively learning new techniques.
Memory Card
Practice makes perfect, so buy the largest memory card you can for you camera, and enable yourself to take a plethora of practice shots. A larger memory card will allow you to take as many pictures as you need without worrying about running out of space on the card. A further benefit of using large memory cards is that photos can be taken in RAW format, and this gives you a lot of options when it's time to edit them.
Your shots can be improved by simply moving in a bit on the subject you are shooting. You do not want the pictures to come out and not be able to see the subject or have things in the background take attention away from the subject. When you move closer enough to get a great shot, you save both yourself and those you share your photos with much frustration because the subjects of your photos are more vivid and clear.
While an artistic eye certainly doesn't hurt, simple knowledge will get you far in photography. This article will address a few good starting tips for the aspiring photographer.
Photography Is An Art Form That Requires Practice And Dedication
When you take up the hobby of photography, you will have a perfect way to document and share the beautiful things in your world. Photography can even be an excellent way to be your own boss. To do this, though, you must have the right knowledge and know the techniques that make you excel at what you do. The article below provides some great methods of taking those beautiful pictures you've been aiming to achieve.
Depth is an important feature to incorporate in your landscape images. Put a person in the foreground to get the sense of scale of the surroundings. Choosing an aperture that is small — no larger than f/8 on a consumer level digital camera or f/16 on an SLR using a full-frame sensor — will keep everything from the background to the foreground sharp.
A fantastic photography tip is to constantly look at other photographers for inspiration. The photos taken by other people can give you ideas about the many ways there are to capture a scene.
When taking photos of people, your subject will stand out best against a background that is a little blurred. If your background is focused it might take some focus off of your subject. This loss of focus is achievable by increasing the distance between the person and the background.
Practice shooting under a variety of lighting conditions, from different angles, and with each of the built-in features included in your camera. Even if the subject of your photograph has been shot a million times before, you can change many different factors to make your shot stand out. Ideally, a photographer is able to use his or her technical skills and artistic eye to add visual interest to even the most basic subject. Find your style through experimentation.
Always pack your photography equipment with great care. Take the lenses you anticipate using, and don't forget to bring along additional batteries and cleaning equipment. Try and think what is most important on your trip and how convenient it is carry to carry around.
If you keep your batteries charged, it will prevent you from missing the once-in-a-lifetime shot. The LCD screen on a digital camera can eat a lot of battery power, so put freshly charged batteries in the camera before you need to use it. It is also a good idea to carry around spare batteries. This way you will never miss out on a great shot.
You have now read some basic techniques that expert photographers know, so you will be able to take some shots that will make your family and friends go "Wow." If you work hard enough, you might even take some pictures you will be remembered for.
Things You Need To Know About Taking Better Pictures
Photography is a great activity to take up as a hobby. You will have to gain some knowledge and put in some effort so that you are taking pictures properly. Included in the article are several tips for taking great photos.
Employ digital post-processing to make photos appear as pencil sketches, water colors, oil paintings, and more. Many software packages are available, with Adobe Photoshop being the most popular. Instantly making your pictures into masterpieces is simple. Just hit the "filter" button, select the medium that you prefer, and then click the selection that you want.
Overcast Sky
You should try to stay away from an overcast sky when taking pictures. Capturing an excess of gray sky in your image can cause your pictures to look washed-out and muted. If you still want to take pictures of an overcast sky, try a black and white feature. On a beautiful day, you can include as much blue sky as you desire.
Keep your arms close to your sides when you are holding the camera, and hold on to the bottom of your camera. This will minimize shaking and produce clearer shots. Putting your hands underneath the camera and lens, instead of on top, will also prevent you from accidentally dropping your camera.
If you are traveling with your photography equipment, make sure it is stored properly. Take the lenses you anticipate using, and don't forget to bring along additional batteries and cleaning equipment. Do not take more than what you need and think about what will be convenient to transport with you on your trip.
As you take photographs, also take notes. Whenever you go back and view the vast number of photos you have taken, you may not remember where and when some of them occurred. Use a notepad to jot down a few notes about the pictures you take.
You need not stand directly in front of an object to photograph it. Depending on the impression you want to convey, try shooting your subject from different sides or from above and below.
Before you take a photo, do not move and hold your breath. Even the smallest movement could make your picture come out wrong. A fast shutter speed, a higher ISO setting and opening up the aperture to allow in more light are all effective at helping to minimize blur in handheld shots.
Spend some time taking photos with another photographer, or join a photography club. You can learn a lot about technique from other people, as long as you are careful to maintain your unique perspective. Compare your pictures to the ones your friends took to see how one subject can be seen differently.
In almost every life situation, it is ingrained in us to keep things centered and even. A well-known artistic technique is to make a picture slightly asymmetric. This lack of perfect symmetry actually attracts the eye's interest. To create asymmetry, you may need to disable your camera's auto-focus feature, because it always uses the lens' center as focal point. Try manually adjusting and locking your focus before you take a picture.
Photography does actually require effort on your part and some research in order to achieve optimized results. Some tips should help you right away while other methods cannot be mastered without practice. Just remember to always be joyful and happy, after all this should be fun. Keep the tips mentioned in this article in mind, and you will be taking better pictures in not time.

Simple Strategies For Improving Your Photography Skills
Interest in photography is increasing, and this has created a glut of newbies who are confused about how best to improve their photography skills. Becoming a great photographer just involves learning a bit of information and then applying it when you're taking those special shots. Here are some things you can use to become more knowledgeable about this subject.
A very sunny day may seem perfect for photographs, but taking a picture in direct sunlight has many pitfalls. Direct sunlight creates awkward shadowing, as well as annoying glares. If you face your subjects into direct sunlight, they will squint and take unattractive pictures. The best time to capture outdoor shots is either early in the morning or late in the evening.
A vital photography composition factor, is framing. Make sure to not have distracting background items, but zoom in on your major focal point. This will unclutter the photograph as well as eliminating unnecessary focal points.
Another handy photography tip involves the camera's shutter. Educate yourself about shutter speeds. There are P, M, A, and S settings on your camera. The "P" on the camera represents program mode. This mode will completely automate the shutter and aperture selection process. If you are unsure of what you'll be taking a picture of, use P.
Don't overlook the time spent traveling to and from your vacation destination as an opportunity to take pictures. While you are sure to have lots of great instances to get great shots on location, you should consider using the entire trip as potential for unique and beautiful subjects. Document your travel. For example, there are many interesting things about an airport that makes it perfect for picture taking.
Try getting closer to the subject that you are trying to photograph. There isn't anything worse than a photo where you cannot see any of the details of your subject. Make sure you can distinguish details on your subject that will attract your audience's attention.

Secrets And Surprises For All Photography Lovers
If you are new to taking photographs, you might be looking for advice on how to improve your work. This article is just what you are looking for – tips that will get you started in the world of photography.
Use speed when capturing your pictures. If you take a long time to snap the shot, you might miss it. It will change the look of the photograph. The faster you snap pictures, the better chance you have of getting a good one!
To take a great picture, move closer towards your subject. Doing this lets you get your subject in frame, and prevents any interference from the background. It lets you focus on any facial expressions, and that can be a very critical element to portrait photography. Having the subject at too great a distance means missing the little details that make a great photo.
In photography, what you have inside of the frame sets off the overall composition of the image. Get rid of distracting elements by zooming into your focal point. This can eliminate unwanted focal points and keep clutter in your photographs at bay.
Spend some time playing with the features on you camera, especially the manual balance white. Often, incandescent bulbs commonly found in homes and businesses result in a yellow tinge to photographs taken indoors. It's rather difficult to fine tune artificial lighting, but luckily, the white balance feature on your camera is here to save the day. This slight change in quality will make your photographs have a much more professional look about them.
Photography magically captures moments that would otherwise be lost to the world forever. The tips in this article hopefully provided enough of a starting point for you to experiment with your camera and start capturing those memories that are important to you. With the information absorbed in this article, you will be on your way to shooting professional-quality photos.
