Tired of trying to keep updated with the highest mega pixel resolution digital camera? Well even if one has tried to do that, most certainly he will soon find out that his few months old digital camera is outdated in terms of mega pixel resolution. It’s an ever changing kind of product that has become very hard to keep updated, unless one is willing to spend more money by making purchases every six to twelve months.
If the main intention of purchasing a photo camera is enlarging the image, then mega pixel resolution indeed will become the main factor. In this case one might consider a different option, which will keep his product updated for years to come. I’m talking about a used 4×5″ film photo camera, together with a high resolution flat bed film scanner. All of this for less than one thousand US dollars. With all of this, one will get over 100 mega pixels in fine detailed film resolution and fine scanned digital images that can be enlarged up to 30×40″ in size with professional quality. These 4×5″ film cameras have done a remarkable job in general personal and commercial photography such as wedding, portraiture, product, documentary, advertising and landscape for nearly a hundred years.
Where to find 4×5″ used film cameras? Since some of these cameras were mostly used in the past, until the 1960’s, it should be no problem in finding them in American auction web sites. Anyway, a good used 4×5″ camera with lens can be found for less than four hundred US dollars.
As for the flat bed film scanner, one can find brand new ones for less than five hundred US dollars. Just make sure the scanner is able to scan films.
Whenever purchasing a 4×5″ film camera, one should look for the following features: folds into a compact box, flexible bellows, lenses that can be easily interchanged, accepts sheet film, ground glass focusing screen, easily hand-held and optical viewfinder accessory.
As for the lenses, there are four main categories: 1 – general purposes; 2 – wide field (mostly used for close up work and landscape); 3 ? extreme wide angles lenses; 4 ? special effects lenses (telephoto). However, one might use a general purpose 127 or 152mm lens for most of his photograph sessions. In cases where it requires special lenses, such as architecture or macro photography, one will still find lots of them available in auction sites. Used lenses for 4×5″ cameras made after world word II have excellent performances comparable to today’s modern lenses.
Whenever making a purchase of a 4×5″ camera make sure that: 1 – the bellows have no light leaks, 2 ? the lens shutter works accurate at all speeds; 4 ? the lens elements have no fungus and scratches of any kind; 4 ? the focus is working properly between the ground glass and the film.
The option of using a 4×5″ film camera, together with a flat bed film scanner, for enlarging images with professional quality is viable and accessible. Cheaper than top digital cameras, the 4×5″ film camera offers better image quality and will always be updated in the future, maintaining its original value.
For those who wishes the very most detailed image enlargement, one can always use the 8×10″ film camera. Four times the physical film size of the 4×5″, this option offers so much film resolution that it is considered by many as the ultimate step for photo image enlargement.
Sometimes analog products deliver better results that its digital counterparts. If you are doing the job of enlarging photo images, you should give it a try with a 4×5″ camera. You might just surprise yourself.

read comments (0)7 Attributes of a Successful Fashion Model
Author: admin
Have you ever looked at a successful model and said, “I am just as beautiful as this girl so I think I’ll become a supermodel.”
I would like to clarify one thing and please listen carefully …
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A NATURAL-BORN MODEL!!!
Yes, some people have a natural beauty and some learn more quickly than others. I’ll agree that these attributes are important. But, I’ll say it again – There is no such thing as a natural-born model.
If you believe this, let me ask you a question. Do you believe there is such a thing as a natural-born surgeon? Do you think that the most famous surgeon in the medical profession was born to be a doctor? I guess when he was delivered the doctor who brought him into this world said, “Look!!! It’s a surgeon!!” I don’t think so.
For this man to become this famous surgeon, it took many years of education, internship, and watching other doctors before he was even considered to do actual surgery. I’m really glad he did, aren’t you?
And, even after all these grueling years this doctor still was not guaranteed to become well-known in the medical industry.
The point I’m trying to make is that, modeling can be a rewarding profession but it does require some effort on your part.
The following are some of the attributes of successful models ..
Learning ability and intelligence
Self confidence
Willingness to travel and leave friends and family behind
Good organization skills
A healthy body and lots of get-up-and-go!
A model who is comfortable in setting goals and not afraid to go after them with a dogged determination
Resistance to peer pressure – Stay drug and alcohol free
Don’t just read these attributes. Study them, learn them, and make them a part of your own personality traits. If you don’t have them at first, pretend that you do.
Remember, you will become what you think and the way that you act. You’re not lying when you say, “I am in the process of writing down my goals for modeling and on my way to becoming successful.” You’re just telling the truth in advance!!

Replica Harry Winston Watches
Author: admin
Harry Winston’s parents emigrated from Ukraine, and his father (Jacob) set up a small jewelry shop in Manhattan in 1890. He worked in his father’s shop growing up and learning tricks of the trade. Being a jeweler’s son, he developed an invariable passion for gem stones. He was gifted with a rare skill of telling a genuine precious stone from a fake one, without using any instruments or devices. His natural ability gave him fame for being an expert on gems in his thirties; an honor, mostly jewelers spend their entire lives for.
Owing to his manic love and collection of big diamonds he became known as the “King of Diamonds”. Like all good jewelers, he too new the art of reaching out for his clients with an edge over his competition. He was the first jeweler to come up with diamond studded affordable designs to adorn the Holly Wood movie artists in 1947. Since then all Oscar Awards are marked by Harry Winston pieces, the craze of Holly Wood. The brand celebrated its hundredth anniversary by presenting a tiara “Centennial Tiara”, with seven diamonds that weighed 100 carats all together.
The concept of watches used as a piece of jewelry, and a clientele hungry for “Always Looking the Best and Superior”, usually serves the basis for producing jewelry watches. The first Harry Winston watch was presented in 1989. Each and every piece of Harry Winston watch is a fine piece of jewelry, absolutely hand made to the last detail. All are made exclusively in Switzerland, made to pass most pungent ‘quality control’ standards of our time. There are no two opinions about the beauty, time accuracy and genuineness of gem stones in these pieces.
Of course, such pieces not only cost a fortune, but are rare to find. Such unmatched piece can be owned at an affordable price by purchase of a replica Harry Winston Watch. Great care beyond the point of perfection is given to each replica piece, to make it look exactly like its original. Its user is advised to simply avoid shower, swimming and diving wearing it; because replica Harry Winston watch is not as waterproof as its original.
