This can be valuable for tracking where you captured each shot, especially when exploring unfamiliar locations. Some cameras offer built-in GPS functionality for geotagging your images. This is useful for creating HDR images and enhancing your landscapes' dynamic range and details. Some cameras offer advanced bracketing capabilities, allowing you to capture a series of shots at different exposure levels. While landscape photography often involves manual focus, a capable autofocus system is still valuable, especially when capturing scenes with moving elements or transitioning from landscapes to other genres like wildlife or macro photography. ![]() This is especially useful when you can't use a tripod. IBIS can help reduce the impact of camera shake, enabling sharper images when shooting handheld. Expert Tip On Landscape Photography: A good app is a handy tool for shooting landscapes – it can help you to know the exact sunrise and sunset time! In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) This is particularly important when the lighting conditions are changing rapidly. User Interface And ControlsĪ camera with an intuitive user interface and easily accessible controls will allow you to make quick adjustments in the field. These features help you see how different settings and compositions will affect the final image. Photo by Marek Piwnicki Viewfinder And LCD ScreenĪ high-quality electronic viewfinder or a clear, articulated LCD screen is essential for composing your shots effectively. A camera with good low-light performance and minimal noise at higher ISO settings will enable you to capture stunning images in challenging lighting conditions. Landscape photography often involves shooting during the golden hour, blue hour, or even at night. Consider investing in spare batteries or a camera with exceptional battery efficiency. Long battery life is essential when shooting landscapes, especially in remote areas where charging facilities might be scarce. Consider the weight and portability of the camera system, especially if you'll be hiking or traveling long distances to reach your shooting locations. Landscape photographers often venture into remote locations. You need to know what kind of final image you want to choose the correct settings! Weight And Portability Expert Tip On Landscape Photography: Use different camera settings based on the needs of each image and take many practice shots. A well-built camera can handle accidental bumps and drops, ensuring that your investment remains protected during your photography adventures. Build Quality And DurabilityĪ sturdy camera body that can withstand the rigors of outdoor shooting is crucial. Weather-sealed cameras protect against dust and moisture, allowing you to shoot in various environments without worrying about damaging your equipment. Landscape photography often takes you into challenging weather conditions. ![]() ![]() ![]() Mom at 55, was 5'6", with dark hair, which she liked to keep in a bun, and a dress size of between 12 and 14. I didn't think I was bad looking, but I had never really made it with girls up to then, and never had a girlfriend. I was 5'8" average to heavy build with dark hair, and I wore glasses. Looking back, I think that was a mistake in some ways, but as this story unfolds, you might think otherwise.īefore I go on, some descriptions. It was either that, or the guilt I would feel by moving out. I'd argue back and then she'd sulk or not talk to me for ages until I came round to her way of thinking. Sometimes she would fly off the handle over the smallest thing. And that meant losing my freedom, and having to cope with mom's controlling ways, and her moodiness and temperament. We had no other family close by, so I felt obliged to stay on at home and go to my local college rather than move away. Now, at the age of 18 when I just wanted to break free and experience life, I felt guilty about leaving her alone. She was also quite prudish and straight laced. The problem for me in all of this was that I had been over protected, and mom had a fiery temper, and would be very controlling. And now mom just wanted to stick to working in her job of many years as a librarian until she retired, enjoying her garden, and the occasional women's institute gathering, a few female friends and of course taking care of her only precious child - yours truly. ![]() Anyway, it all finally ended with a divorce and with me as an only child. They had argued a lot - as far back as I could remember, and enough for me to get sick of it. She'd married quite late compared to others in her generation at 35, been my father's second wife and it seemed he'd only married her to have someone cook and clean and provide some carnal satisfaction. My mom had a tough life until she divorced. 'One man in my life has been quite enough'. 'Not after all the trouble your father gave me' she would continue. ![]() She'd given up on men, 'I'm not giving myself to another man' she would say angrily, when I'd suggest she maybe try meeting someone. My mom, Margaret Addington, or Marge as she liked to be known, had divorced three years back, and now at 55, in the prime of her life, she had become a bit of a recluse. Ok, so I had a few issues back then, but doesn't everyone at 18? For me most of these issues revolved around my mom being temperamental and difficult, and the way I had been brought up. My name is Jacob and I'm just a regular kind of guy. My problem started soon after I had just turned 18. I cannot confirm whether this story is purely a work of fiction or has elements of truth. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You’d be surprised how often players are willing to buy back teammates during the end portion of a match. Speaking of sticking with your team, we recommend staying in the match, even after you’ve been eliminated. With that in mind, it’s smart to consistently check your map so you’re always aware of your squad’s location. Likewise, if your team is ready to move on from a particular spot, always try to go with them. Specifically, if you mark a landing spot, and someone else pings another one, it might not be a bad idea to pivot to the other location to ensure everyone is together - even if the new location isn’t ideal. Whether you’re playing with random players or a consistent team, you’ll want to make sure you always stick together, even right from the start of a match. Stick with your teamįor whatever reason, players like to drift away from their teammates, which is almost always a recipe for disaster. The main things you want to change are the sensitivity, button layout, armor plate behavior, and your field of view.

Likewise, you can also use proximity chat to force an enemy player to give you all their cash and gear, which is a fun little feature. You’ll be able to hear enemy players talking with one another, and if you do, try and keep quiet so they don’t hear you - this will allow you to sneak up on them with ease. ![]() One new feature in the latest version of Warzone is proximity chat, which can be extremely useful when approaching a new point of interest. Make sure to call out when and where you see an enemy, and try to use your pings as effectively as possible.

I've looked offsite at my images in the other albums with my favorite image viewer, FastStone, but in most cases there was no EXIF data. I went through all the photos and manually eliminated each one (now that I know the difference between captions and titles!), rather tedious but it worked. there's even a little house that represents the home page, so I don't need the up arrow (can I get rid of it?) and I don't even need your beautiful code - sorry!Īs for my name not being on the Mexico album.

It's the most powerful skin but usually requires some testing to get it to work just the way you like.You can create several album projects in jAlbum to make albums with different skins for different clients etc. Yes, please try other skins like Galleria or Chameleon, I personally like Turtle. You can also choose to exclude folders and add your logo. This way navigation links will appear in the album header. Here's a hint that might help since you're using folders and wanted to add about/contact pages:Go to Settings -> Turtle -> Site - Click: Show top navigation. Please check that you entered the data the same way as for example your Mexico album where I can't see your name in the titles. I'm not sure how you've entered the data, if you're using Lightroom, jAlbum will read in the EXIF / XMP data. I found your name in the image titles in this album: Yes, we are working on proper documentation, I know it comes in handy. And how do I get rid of the redundant photo of the grate, down at the bottom? Here's the URL: I'd also like to add a link back to the home page, and add some text to each folder link on the home page, something more that just "Mexico". I'd like to add a statement page and a contact page. I've gone to the jAlbum Forum for help but many users are in Europe and the time difference is a bit of a nuisance, not their fault! Plus, I've been using for years and feel more at ease here with the interface, helpful community, etc. I've started a website but it is by no means complete. I'm using the Turtle skin because it seemed most widely used, but I'm not wedded to it, am open to other skins if need be. In fact I chose jAlbum based partly on what I've seen here from other website builders. I've been searching this forum for some tips, and was glad to see there are some jAlbum users out there. ![]() ![]() Pac-Man CE DX also features eight different graphical styles (labeled with letters A through H). Similar to how Space Invaders was updated, graphics maintain their original shapes and design, but use vibrant and clever color use to craft games with a modern look and feel. Where the colors on the screen feel and look more like intense neon lights than flat colors. The graphics are bright and colorful, and when viewed in that full High-Def glory on a digital TV, they have the same classic glow that old-school arcade monitors had. Essentially, both games maintain the same basic formula and gameplay as their classic forms, while adding flashy colorful flair to the graphical presentations and ramping up the speed and overall intensity for modern audiences. I don't think Space Invaders is quite this good, however, in part due to the near expert-level difficulty required for much of the game. ![]() Sure, Space Invaders Extreme is an excellent game (hard as hell), and does a modern take on a classic formula very much the same as this Pac-Man game. This is the proper way to bring a classic game into the modern era, while still keeping it intact. Contra 4 could probably be thrown into that mix as well, since it was the first original throw-back to 16-bit-era Contra games after two generations of generally poor Playstation renditions. I have the N64-era revamped Robotron, Space Invaders Extreme on the DS, and spent time with Namco's other modern take on a classic, Galaga Championship Edition. I'm pretty familiar with a few retro-revivals from the past few years and some others. The pictures looked pretty cool and it has been a popular featured item on the Xbox 360's discounts and deals, so I snagged it. ![]() Prior to downloading this gem on my Xbox360, I only saw it in pictures and heard that it garnered some solid reviews. Game modes include time trials split into short stints and longer runs, a ghost combo mode where the aim is to eat as many ghosts as possible within a combo limit, and the return of score attack (score the highest number of points in either a 5-minute or 10-minute run). There are nine different styles of mazes to run through, varying from Spiral which has a number of said spirals that can easily trap you inside, or highway which is full of long straights running across the maze. The high tempo music and neon stylings return, along with new graphic-based references to other past Pac-Man games with differing looks to the central character and the ghosts themselves. There are a vast number of game modes and visual styles, following the graphical overhaul made by Pac-Man: Championship Edition. The speed will also suddenly slow down to a 'bullet time' like effect if you're too close to a ghost, giving you a chance to evade and continue on without losing a life. Pick up and use a bomb, and all the ghosts on the playfield will be shot back to the central holding area for a few seconds. There are now two defensive tactics that can help you along the way as well. Eat a power pellet and you can turn that line of ghosts into a massive points score, which in turn increases the speed of play. Unlike past editions or the original itself, Championship Edition DX twist the game's style in a new direction, where the playfield is littered with hundreds of ghosts that, when awoken as you move past, follow you in a conga line. ![]() It's a Pac-Man game in looks, but not entirely in gameplay. Each of the 132 mazes provides exciting new challenges, as you blaze across them, your speed increases as you earn more points, but watch out you will lose momentum fast if a ghost catches you.The mazes, the ghosts, the pellets. Travel through an intense maze collecting dots and destroying pesky ghosts, which can be eaten by collecting power pellets.

This checkbox if checked, will upgrade database in the maintenance window and reboot the database. Be very careful about RDS’s Auto Minor Version Upgrade feature.Make sure that all replication tasks are completely stopped before you reboot the database. Be careful about the source database reboot.Here are some of the issues we faced in production: It’s not a big issue since MySQL Enums can be easily replaced by check constraints or foreign keys with lookup tables. DMS doesn’t support Enum fields in MySQL.Here is what they say in documentation – “ If you haven’t created primary or unique keys on the target tables, then AWS DMS must do a full table scan for each update, which can significantly impact performance”. Redshift doesn’t obey the primary keys and hence sometimes you may be tempted not to define them in the schema. If you don’t specify primary keys on the target tables (Redshift tables in our case), your replication latency may increase.Here are some of the implementation issues we faced: The motive behind this post is to share the knowledge we gained while implementing DMS at GumGum. You can learn more about varous DMS replication related concepts at DMS will watch the bin log for any changes and as soon as the changes appear in binlog, DMS will replicate it to the target tables. You need to enable ROW level binlog in MySQL and create the replications tasks. You can place one or more replication tasks on one replication instance. Creating replication tasks to replicate data from one table to another table was few clicks in the console. You can define source endpoints (MySQL) and target endpoint (Redshift). DMS has concept of replication tasks and replication instances. Once decided, the implementation was fairly easy. DMS also have a good API which makes it easy to use. ![]() Furthermore it would require no approvals from anybody to use a one more AWS service. Our security conscious ops team didn’t like the idea of sending sensitive data to an outside company server and bringing back in again. When we learned that AWS offered a similar solution it was a no brainer. But we were always looking for a managed solution. There is even an open source solution – Tungsten. There are many options available in the market for such a replication – FiveTran, Alooma, Informatica. Our script was simply not capable of replicating changes in real time. Furthermore, some users were demanding that changes to some tables are reflected in the warehouse immediately. But we started opening offices worldwide (London and Sydney) and this wasn’t an option anymore. This would take down our reporting dashboard for 30 minutes every night. This script would simply read all the rows from a MySQL table, delete all the rows in Redshift table and insert all the rows in the Redshift table. In order to run the reports accurately it’s important that all the modifications done to the dimension tables in MySQL are transferred to Redshift in timely manner.īefore using DMS, we had a Groovy script that was transferring data from MySQL to Redshift every night. This database contains all of our fact tables. Our reporting dashboard connects with our data warehouse built on Redshift.

In our case, both of our datastores – RDS (MySQL) and Redshift were already in the cloud. But the service could be very useful for replicating data between the two datastores within the cloud as well. AWS’s Database Migration Service (DMS) is often misunderstood as a service that can only migrate your data to the cloud. ![]() ![]() ![]() Calling this method from script does not immediately apply and recompile your scripts.
