Digital Camera Guide

SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex. Basically that means the lens is not built in the body of the camera like digital compact cameras. With a digital SLR camera the lenses can be changed to adapt to your shooting conditions. For example you’ll use a tele lens for portrait and wide-angle lens for landscape.

Digital SLR cameras have more functions than a compact point and click. In this section I’llcover some advanced techniques you can leverage with a digital SLR camera.

I have put here a few pictures of my Canon 5D Mark II which is a digital SLR camera to show you different parts.

I’ll be posting photos of another digital SLR camera I use which is a Nikon D700 and do a comparison between Canon 5D Mark II and Nikon D700. Come back to this site soon…

Ok, let’s dive into different features that come with a digital SLR camera. Use them and you’ll get the most out of your camera. Your photos will look like they are taken by a pro.

1.    Exposure Modes

The way you use different exposure modes will makes the difference in your photography.

Origin: Western United States (ponds, lakes and marshlands)

There are two sub-species:

Northwestern Pond Turtle (Clemmys marmorata marmorata) and

Southwestern Pond Turtle (Clemmys marmorata pallida)

Adult Size: usually up to 8 inches (shell length)

Lifespan: unknown, most likely 30+ years like other pond turtles

Temperament: Not as territorial and aggressive as many other turtles. You can keep a few of these turtles together as long as they have enough space to swim around.

Set-up: This is an aquatic species, so the enclosure needs to be mostly water. Your turtle will need a place to get out of the water and bask, such as a well-positioned rock or pile of rocks, or a turtle dock found at your local pet store. Use sand or gravel to cover the bottom of the tank and decorate under the water with aquatic plants or driftwood to keep your turtle feeling secure.

The minimum tank size recommended for one of these turtles is a 20 gallon long. Bigger is ALWAYS better. Other containers can be used, such as large Rubbermaid bins, as long as the container is able to safely hold about 20 gallons or more of water. Fill the tank at least half way. Water conditioner or dechlorinator is not necessary unless you are using extremely hard water (like State College tap water J), in which case a water conditioner made specially for turtles should be used.

How to Make a Photo Book For a Little League Team

Every season is special, and putting your little leaguer’s year in book form is something that he or she will remember forever. Here are some ideas to get you started.

Gather Your Material:

When you are putting together any sort of yearbook or retrospective, it is of course best if you can start your project as early in the year as possible. For your little league team project, the place to begin, if it is not too late, would be the very first meeting or practice (with the permission, of course, of the coaches and staff). Listen to what the coach says and write down any noteworthy or inspiring quotes, or if the team chooses a theme, mascot, or rallying cry, make note of that too. Take as many pictures as you can, both candid and team pics if at all possible. Here is where the season begins, and all concerned will enjoy looking back on it when the year is over and your yearbook is complete.
