...Cortina dʼAmpezzo Venice Portofino Cinque Terre Two photographers, Italy and the D80 Photographers from different fields share their impressions after shooting with the D80 on a trip to Italy. About shooting in Italy - H (Hien): Iʼ ve long dreamed of shooting in Venice. As a photojournalist, I always strive to convey the moment just as I see it with my own eyes. This demands a great amount of footwork to get acquainted with the location, and the time to establish a rapport with the locals. Shooting early in the morning with the D80 left an immediate impression on me. There was limited light, and that was comprised of a mixture of natural and artificial light. A film camera in such a situation requires complicated use of filters, whereas the D80 was able to achieve accurate white balance and metering under mixed light sources and produce beautiful results. Y (Yves): I believe shooting in the cafe allowed m e t o c l e a r l y ex p r e s s m y f e e l i n g s a b o u t the location. I am always exploring how best to express myself based on the inspiration I draw from the actual scene. And for me, the light is the inspiration. I like to control the light in each shot, which of course includes capturing the mood of the natural light, while at times also taking advantage of reflected light or using flashes. The D80 produced images just as I envisioned them, performing perfectly throughout the trip. Images from the D80 are of the highest quality, and I can edit them freely after...

...Our user-friendly k-x model Digital SLR camera has been the most technologically advanced, under-$1,000 cameras we sell. In the last eighteen months our international sales have dropped twenty percent, leaving us with only twelve percent of the market, in fourth place behind Canon, Nikon and Sony’s comparable models. Although we have accomplished our goals of gaining popularity within the advanced amateur photographer demographic, it is necessary for us to open up the market to entry-level users. The k-x has received stellar reviews from cnet.com and techreview.com, putting us above our more popular-brand competitors. Now because of our decreasing-sales dilemma, we must change our marketing methods. For too long we have relied on our meager website ads, hoping that the quality and reputation of our cameras will keep our sales up. But with them we have only been reaching our long-time faithful Pentax photographers, and not developing a new customer base – at least one that is truly measurable. With the current digital age and the lowering of prices for high-tech cameras, we need to bring our product into a new light with the public. Unlike watching TV, people don’t just consume content on social networks; they actively share it. As television becomes more digital – in the form of sharable video clips or articles on a show’s premier, for example – social media will continue to play an increasingly important role on how consumers discover and engage with all forms of content...

...Annual Report Year ended March 31, 2011 At a Glance Nikon has been a pioneer in optical technology markets worldwide since its inception in 1917. Today, we offer a wide range of products utilizing advanced technologies, from consumer optics such as digital cameras, camera-related products and binoculars to industrial precision equipment including IC and LCD steppers and scanners, microscopes and measuring instruments. In the fiscal year ended March 2011, Nikon posted an increase in sales and regained profitability, absorbing the impact from the appreciation of the yen and the Great East Japan Earthquake, which occurred on March 11. This was due mainly to continued positive sales in the Imaging Products Business, and recovery in the Precision Equipment and Instruments businesses. We will maintain measures to bolster our earnings capacity and develop cutting-edge products, to ensure we remain on a path of sustainable growth. Nikon, following its unchanged corporate philosophy of “Trustworthiness and Creativity,” will consistently offer new value and continue to grow.

...for high quality photos. There are many equipment options available to photographers and the costs can vary depending on what a business owner is looking for. Providing a salary for a good photographer is very important as well. The price of a photographer can vary greatly depending on many things but this is something to take into consideration when choosing to hire someone. All of these aspects are important when choosing to start doing in-house professional photography. When hiring someone in-house to do professional photography of products, there is a lot of equipment that would need to be purchased. A camera is the most obvious purchase. The best camera for this job would be a DSLR camera. The two top brands for DSLR cameras are Nikon and Canon’s. Everyone has their own preference and both are around the same price. A DSLR camera can range in price, from $300 - $1000 and up. Then a good lens is important to focus and get the best quality pictures. A good lens for organic products would be a 40mm f/2.8 and these range from $250 to $400. Aside from the camera and lens there are other tools that are needed to take good photographs. Some of the tools that are important for good photography are: softboxes, reflectors, photo editing software, and a backdrop of some sort. Softboxes can be used to help diffuse the light on the product. According to "What Is A Softbox?" (2014), “A softbox diffuses the light into a pleasing soft, even light” (para. 3). Softboxes can vary in price...

...toward ground zero of counterfeiting-the notorious Silk Market of Beijing. As do more than 10 million people a year, I enter a 35,000 square-meter, seven-level piracy temple, packed with nearly 2,000 small stalls, staffed by thousands of hard-charging, take no prisoner vendors, offering cheap knockoffs of the leading branded products in the world. Navigating a surreal bazaar gone wild, I stroll by stalls boldly displaying bogus Prada purses, Hugo Boss shirts, ad Hermes scarves; depending on how well you negotiate, each can be had for an absurd fraction of the price of the genuine version. Moving on, stall after stall offers infamous “copywatches,” Nike gear, Sony Jump Drives, Wii Remotes, Gillette razors, Oakley sunglasses, Zeiss binoculars, Nikon lenses, North Face jackets – one after another, in a seemingly endless procession of premier brand names. Despite spot-on comestic resemblance, virtually all is counterfeit. Moving around, one comes to digital zones, finding copies of software, music, games, and movies. Rack upon rack displays products from some of the best and the brightest minds of the world, now selling for ludicrously low prices-Microsoft Windows 7 for about a buck, Microsoft Office for $0.75, Wii Guitar Hero for a buck, Photoshop for two bucks, AutoCad for five dollars. Each stall is packed with an ever-changing collage of customers-Germans, Indians, Canadians, Brazilians, British, and Americans, and so on-each getting past initial shock, and many buying multiple titles...

...Savanna Provencal Mrs. Stephens English 4 Honors 6 March 2013 Food Photography Food photography is a still life specialization of photography, used to produce eye catching photos of different food items that will be used as advertisement, on menus, and in cookbooks[1]. The first thing that may pop into your head when you think food photography is just setting up different foods and just snapping a couple shots and that’s it. Along with capturing that perfect photo from the photographer there is also a food stylist and a prop stylist to help bring out the different characteristics and textures of the food item being photographed. The way food is set out on the plate is just as important as the way it should be photographed. Food doesn’t keep its appetizing looks for long so as a photographer you’ll need to be well prepared and able to shoot quickly after it’s been cooked before it melts, collapses, wilts and/or changes color. When capturing your photographs you should be thinking on how you can not only capture a two dimensional picture but on how your two dimensional picture will capture the eye of whomever may possibly be looking at it. Whether it’s on a menu or in a cookbook. Food stylist not only accordingly set up food to be photographed from above but from many different angles. Stylist place the food evenly spaced on the plate to get the right lighting and also to bring out the different textures of the item. His or her job is to set up the food to where when the...

...three cameras are Canon EOS 7D, Nikon D700, and Panasonic DMC-FZ35K. I chose these cameras because I want to know the best one for me due to my criteria in the first phase and the second phase. When it comes to Canon EOS 7D the following ; which include 18.0 megapixel Digital SLR camera, battery pack LP-E6 and changer, USB and stereo video cable, wrist strap and software CD-ROM and owner’s manual is not the main criteria of my project but the central of the camera. The second camera which is Nikon D700 has 12.1 megapixel full-frame sensor, image sensor cleaning, picture control, different channel, and life view. The third camera Panasonic DMC-FZ35K 12.1 megapixel digital camera, AVCHD Lite, power O.I.S, ultra high speed AF, and leica du vario- elmaeit lens. All the three cameras function in different ways but some of them have the same criteria or features. When I was during the research; I grouped my criteria into eight which are warranty, picture style, color, storage, viewfinder, memory size, wireless connectivity, and firmware. These are the main things I am looking for to buy a camera, it does not better the price weather is expensive or not. I want warranty because in case the camera starts facing a problem, I will not buy a new one but take it to where I bought it for them to give me a new one. Another thing is, in case I want to exchange the product I can go back to the manufacture and get a new one. Canon EOS 7D and Nikon D700 as 1 year but Panasonic...

...Requirements for Project. A company produces three types of switches – S1, S2, and S3 – and supplies them to a retailer. It is contractually obligated to meet the demands of the retailer for each type of switch. Because of limited capacity the company may not have sufficient machining, assembly, and finishing time available to satisfy the entire demand in each period through in-house production alone. Contractual obligation requires the company to make up the shortfall in production by procuring it from an external supplier at higher costs. The company aims to meet the retailer’s demands at minimum cost. LP Formulation: Task 1: Formulate a linear programming (LP) model that may be solved to identify the optimal production and procurement plan for the company in each time period. | Specifically, you must define the decision variables, objective function, and constraints in your LP model using the following parameters: In each time period, for each product i∈(1, 2, 3): * Di is the demand (number of units required) for product i. * CiP is the cost (in dollars) for producing each unit of product i. * CiS is the cost (in dollars) for procuring each unit of product i from the external supplier. * tim is the machining time (in minutes) required to produce each unit of product i. * tia is the assembly time (in minutes) required to produce each unit of product i. * tif is the finishing time (in minutes) required to produce each unit of product...

...Marketing 401 Name of organization: Nikon Corporation Product analysis and strategy Pricing strategy Promotion strategy Distribution strategy Environmental Analysis Nikon operates in a highly competitive consumer and professional optics environment. The product range in this industry starts with consumer level digital cameras then moves through to pro-level film and digital cameras and includes sport and scientific optics such as binoculars and telescopes. There are a number of competitors all pushing for market share. Smaller competitors include Lumix, Olympus, and Leica. Larger, more dominant, competitors include Nikon, Canon, Sony and Pentax. The largest influence of this environment is the economy. Sales are typically directly inline with expendable cash flow of both businesses and consumers. Technological advancements are also a major influence. Although professional optics and cameras tend to have longer shelf lives, consumer level products are expected to advance a much quicker pace. Advancements in micro-technology assist with making consumer products smaller, faster, and more powerful as the market and consumer spending habits tend to dictate. Finally, in foreign markets such as the UK, political debates about the right to photography in public often influence which type of optics are released and how powerful those optics are. Environmental scanning would be conducted on a continuous basis across all existing products. Closely monitoring...

...• Overview The Semi-Pro Nikon DSLR cameras fall neatly in between the entry-level Nikon cameras and the professional Nikon cameras. They are for more advanced photographers who have outgrown the features on their entry level DSLR, or for professionals looking to have an affordable backup body that produces quality, high resolution images. These models include the Nikon D90, D300, D300s and D7000. You can read an overview of each below. • The Nikon D90 The D90 was heralded as a landmark camera on its April 2008 launch, because it was the first DSLR from any manufacturer to include HD video capabilities. Today, it is still highly regarded as a great all-round camera that works well under many different conditions. Its 12 megapixel sensor gives high resolution images that look as good on the 3 inch LCD screen as they do on your monitor at home. Noise reduction is handled very well up to ISO 3200, and the rugged body will autofocus with virtually any Nikon autofocus lens. Read this article for an in-depth review. • The Nikon D300 [pic] Ammonium NH4CL www.zzjhhb.com Competitive price,promptly delivery High purity 99.5% from China. Ads by Google Like the D90 and the D40, the D300 has proven to be one of Nikon's most popular DSLRs.
