Another graphic design mistake that web owners make is not proofreading their text. They should make sure that the content they add to their site has no grammatical and spelling errors.

They may view such businesses as unprofessional. Therefore, text should always be proofread several times before being published.

Time Lapse - How to Compress Time

As a videographer, I am always trying to effectively tell a story. I have discovered that one of the most effective storytelling tools in video production is the time lapse.

With a time lapse you can compress a long and static event into a short engaging clip.

If you are having trouble protecting your MSD (moisture sensitive devices) from humidity related damages, you are on the right page. In this article, we are going to shed some lights on the importance of electronic dry cabinets. Basically, a dry cabinet is an enclosure that can keep electronic components from getting exposed to excessive moisture environment. People use these when they need to put their moisture sensitive products into low humidity environment. We know that excessive moisture can damage specific products, such as PCB, IC, chips, optical products, precision instruments.

So, you're thinking about buying a brand-new camera. If you have been looking in the stores or browsing online for a camera, the choices can be overwhelming.

Different types of Sampling Method

Sampling Methods:-

1) Probability Sampling Method
2) Non-Probability Sampling Method

Probability Sampling Methods –

1) A simple random sample:- A simple random sample is obtained by choosing elementary units in search a way that each unit in the population has an equal chance of being selected. A simple random sample is free from sampling bias. However, using a random number table to choose the elementary units can be cumbersome. If the sample is to be collected by a person untrained in statistics, then instructions may be misinterpreted and selections may be made improperly. Instead of using a least of random numbers, data collection can be simplified by selecting say every 10th or 100th unit after the first unit has been chosen randomly as discussed below. Such a procedure is called systematic random sampling.

Characteristics of Camera Lens

-Focal length: Light rays which are parallel to the axis of the lens, after passing through a convex lens meet at a point on the other side of the lens. This point is called as a focus of the lens. The distance between focus and the optical centre (or node) of the lens is called as focal length of that lens. Focal length of a camera lens may also be defined as the minimum practicable distance between film/image sensor and (the optical centre of) the lens. Focal length of a camera lens is usually marked in mm on the front of the lens. Focal length remains fixed for a given lens (other than zoom lens). SLR camera may take lenses having different focal lengths.
