Children make a wonderful subject. Here are some tips for ensuring photos of children are even more memorable.
Meet them eye-to-eye:- Bring yourself down to the child.s level . even if you need to crouch down. This will give your shots a 'kids eye view' and won't distort their image (as taking the shot from above does).
Capture natural expressions :- While posed shots are great, often better results can be gained by capturing an image when their thoughts are preoccupied with something else . eg while at play. You.ll capture their faces enjoying the moment rather than thinking about the camera.
Familiarity ensures success :- Children who have grown up having their photo taken will be a lot less likely to freeze or show off in front of a camera. Start early and make photo taking a part of every day out.
Children grow up quickly :- Record their growth from toddler to child to young adult by taking a family photo every year around the same time . either the first day of school, or during spring events.

Digital Photography Secret 3 Place your subject off-center
Rather than placing your main subject in the middle of the screen, place it to one side and ensure something interesting is in the background that fills the remainder of the image.
This can be especially effective if the background has the same theme. For example, if photographing a child opening a Christmas present, frame them to one side and have the Christmas Tree with unopened presents filling the rest of the image.
There are a few guidelines that can help you place your subject in the frame.
The Rule of Thirds :- One of the most popular rules in photography is the "Rule of Thirds". It is a simple rule that can add dynamism to your photos. Simply, divide the image into thirds both horizontally and vertically. When composing your shot, place important elements either along these lines, or where the lines intersect - NOT at the centre of the frame.
For example, place a subject's eyes where the top line is, or place your subject on the place in the image where two of these lines intersect.
It's a very simple rule to follow and will result in a nicely balanced, easy on the eye picture. It also helps get rid of the 'tiny subject and large amount of space' tendency because you need to position items relative to the edges of the frame.
Having said this, the Rule of Thirds is also one of the rules you'll want to break often!

Use Optical rather than Digital Zoom Digital Photography Secret 2
Cameras are marketed with both an Optical Zoom and Digital Zoom capability.
If you've used a film camera, you'll be used to optical zoom. Optical zoom uses the lens of the camera (the optics) to bring the subject closer. Digital zoom uses clever software to digitally enlarge a portion of the image - thus simulating optical zoom.
So, which is better? Definitely Optical zoom. Here's why.
Digital zoom is not really 'zoom' in the strictest definition of the term. Digital zoom just enlarges the image. Eg it takes a portion of the image and enlarges it back to full size. You lose quality because of the enlargement process so photos that have been taken with digital zoom won't look as good as those without.
You can perform the same result using image editing software on your computer. In fact, it can be better to crop and enlarge using your image software in your computer as you can decide exactly what part of the image to enlarge, and how much to enlarge by.
So when taking shots, use optical zoom only. If you need to zoom in further, use your editing software to select the best part of the image to keep. Ensure your camera warns you when it's switching to digital zoom from optical zoom, or use your settings to disable digital zoom entirely.
Why is clarity important? The more clarity you have in your image, the larger the printed size can be without the image appearing fuzzy, or blocky. If you want to keep clarity in your images, use the optical zoom whenever possible, and avoid the digital zoom.
How do you use Optical Zoom? When you zoom in using your camera, it will use Optical zoom first and then use Digital zoom. You can usually set your camera to notify you when it starts to use the Digital zoom, or tell it to not use digital zoom at all.

Move In Closer Digital Photography Secret-1
Almost any shot will look better if you take two or three steps closer to your subject. Filling the frame entirely with your subject will make a terrific difference to your photos.
Alternatively, instead of moving closer, use the Optical or Digital Zoom of your camera to get a close up shot. (Preferably Optical zoom - I'll tell you why tomorrow)
When taking shots of family and friends, most people place the subject's full body in the frame, or place head and arms in the shot. Instead, fill the frame with your subject's FACE only - particularly if they are smiling or are in a moment of reflection.
Why does this work? With less clutter in the image, there's less to draw the eye away from the main subject of your photo. Also, human faces (particularly children's faces) are something we all feel pleasure looking at.
If you can't get close enough when you're taking the shot, you can zoom in later using photo editing software - crop out everything except the subject's face and see what a difference it makes.
When using the viewfinder for close shots, be careful of Parallax. Because the viewfinder is not at the same position as the camera's lens, centering the subject in the viewfinder may mean it is not centered for the lens resulting in an off-center final picture. Most digital cameras now come with an inbuilt LCD screen. You can eliminate this problem by using the LCD - which shows you what the lens sees - rather than the viewfinder.

How Do Search Engines Like Google See Your Blog
Search engine bots see your blog or website differently than most of your normal users. The bot is looking for specific things, and comparing different data to determine what you page is about, and how useful it actually is. There are a few tools you can use that will emulate what Google and other search engines actually see when they look at your blog, and this can help you optimize your site and learn what Google is indexing when the bot visits your site.
When a search engine first visits your site it records all the data avaliable. This includes your title tags, meta data, your image description tags, and your main body of content. It then compares all this data together to figure out what you are talking about, and if all the data matches to determine if you are a legitimate page (so if your title says cell phones, and then you just list a bunch of cities, you obiously have nothing of value to offer about cell phones).
But search engines are made to index all types of content. They not only look at the description you include with a image, they also look at the text around that image, the name of that image, and even the size of the image to figure out what that image is all about. Flash on your website can be read by search engines now, and some bots even click every possible clickable thing on your flash movie just to get to all the information inside.
When a search engine puts together the “universal” search results, it looks to its video database, its image database, the products database, and organic text results to provide the user a wide selection. Even the discussion of your content on another website can change how the search engine handles your results.
So, besides guessing how Google will see your site, how can we get a better look of this unseen side of the web?
WEB SNIFFER
Web Sniffer is a bot you can send to your site which will report what it sees back to you. This is a great way to get a basic idea of the structure of your site, what content is read first by the search engine bots, and to see what the search engines sees.
Find it at http://web-sniffer.net/
GOOGLE WEBMASTER TOOLS
You can find the Google Webmaster Tools at: http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/
Using those tools and a bit of common sense can really help your blog target those coveted keywords. I tried to find something that would give insight on how search engines see things like video and flash, but I couldn’t find anything concret. Maybe a good idea for the next Top Blogger tool.
I did find a official Google article about “Video Sitemaps,” which is very interesting and provides a little insight on optimizing your video content.
Do you know of any other tools that allow you to look at your website the way Googlebot sees your blog? Submit it today via a comment below! Thanks for reading and happy blogging.

FASTEST SPEED AIRCRAFT
An air speed record is the highest airspeed attained by an aircraft of a particular class.
The rules for all official aviation records are defined by Fédération Aéronautique International(FAI), and they also ratify any claims. Speed records are divided into multiple classes with sub-divisions. There are three classes of aircraft: landplanes, seaplanes and amphibians; then within these classes, there are records for aircraft in several mass bands. There are still further sub-divisions for piston-engined, turbojet, turboprop and rocket-engined aircraft. Within each of these groups, records are defined for speed over a straight course and for closed circuits of various sizes carrying various payloads. There are still further records for the speed between specified cities such as London to New York.The aircraft name is SR-71 Black bird is the current record holder
