Make Motion Blurred Backgrounds On Your Cam - Photography Trick

Posted on Thursday, July 19, 2007 by Arun Basil Lal


See the above image. See its background. It is blurred but I didnt use any editing software to make this effect.

I kept the camera in my hand [ the cam was pointing to me..] and pressed the shutter while I was in motion. To get similar effect do the same. Take your picture revolve with the camera facing you. Make sure that the there is no relative motion between you and the camera. Also take care of your facial expressions. Look as if you are standing still. Use lower ISO values and slower shutter speeds to get better results.

Experiment this one many times with different camera settings to get good results. I had to take 12 snaps to get one right.

Good Luck!

Shortcut to Select the First Boot Device For Your Computer

Posted on Thursday, July 05, 2007 by Arun Basil Lal

What do you do If you have to boot from a CD? Usually you restart your computer and your keep tapping F2 or the Delete Key to Enter the Setup of the BIOS and you change your Boot device to CD-ROM ..right..? And after that you have to change it back to your Hard Disk to boot from Hard Disk again.

One of my friends, Jeril taught me a rahter simple way. While you restart your computer press F8 instead of F2. Then You will get a quick menu asking for the boot device. All you have to do is to select the boot device from the list aned press enter. Your System boots form the selected device for that session. It automatically resets the boot device selection to the earlier value. i.e You dont have to change it back again.

He demonstated that on a AMD based PC and did not work for me. Instead F10 worked in place of F8 on my Pentium-4 based PC.
