Hi, have you heard about “MagicSFXphoto” (do a Google search for it)? There you will find a nice free video demonstrating how to take amazing pictures. This made it possible for Daniel to create photos which have that jaw-dropping-effect after you look at them. Perhaps it will help you as well…

JPEG encryption? 3:09
Very clear and concise explaination of the histogram. I learned a lot in a short time, thanks!
Good explaination. I sort of understood histograms but hearing someone explain them in laymans terms helps clarify them a bit more. Histograms are more useful than many people think.
Great!! Thanks for the tutorial. Now I know what that little graphy thing on my camera is, and I can show off to my girlfriend and be like “Oh THAT thing? That’s a histogram darling, it’s a graphical representation showing a visual impression of the distribution of data, in this case black to white pixels” and she’ll be like “HOLY SHIT you’re smart, now get over here and take your pants off”…So errr….thanks for the vid
Michael, Your videos are technically very interesting, but the “sound levels are very low” I hope you look into this aspect of your videos, which will make them ‘super’ from great.
Very Good!

ew years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids’ room, the father said,”Take the kids and get out of the house. We’ll call the police, we don’t have a clown statue.” The “clown statue” is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don’t post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand;sorry i didnt want that happening to me
