Author: Sudipta ShawDear Reader, Occasionally I get queries from my friends who have recently bought a DSLR that whether they need an external flash for "better" photography specially for indoors. So I thought I would put my few comments of where external flashes can really make the difference and make your photos stand out from the "pop-up" flash photographs. The "higher" end cameras even do NOT have built-in flashes due to huge limitations of the in-built flash that can become bottleneck to their otherwise excellent image production quality. An external flash provide superior and "more" control over the lighting and exposure of the subject in low light (and even in bright light where you need to fill-flash) situations. Here's why... 1. Power : This is more obvious than the rest of the reasons but still this tops the list. With the power of the built-in flash (Guide number 13/43 at ISO 100) it becomes really difficult to illuminate "wide" angle shots and thus the edges of the photo remains too dark. With external flash you can get much higher range of illumination (Guide number 43/141 at ISO 100). Additionally an external flash has its own set of batteries thus enabling it to...more

Author: Sports BettingOnline Casino Games - Aussie back in casino mode In the first half of 2008 commodity prices were surging, both riding and attracting an unprecedented wave of speculative investment. And the Australian dollar peaked in July around 97.5 US cents and 74.1 on the Reserve Bank's trade-weighted index. In a note to clients over the weekend, South Africa's Standard Bank's commodities analysts noted that speculative activity in US commodity contracts is back to where it was in May-June 2008. The Aussie jumped more than a cent on Friday night and today's TWI is likely to be close to 72 when the RBA calculates it this afternoon. Standard Bank's Walter de Wet writes that the difference is that most economies were on the decline in May 2008, whereas now they are showing signs of recovery, promising the speculators greater length. Throw in the clear correlation between the rise in commodity speculators going long and the US dollar weakening and it looks like the Aussie is set for a ride as wild as a hedge fund casino betting. (I'd argue that there's a good deal of chicken-or-the-egg in the greenback/commodity price correlation as punters run for commodities partly as a bet...more
