<description><![CDATA[Frequently when you visit places you have seen only in pictures before, you are surprised that they are so much bigger or smaller than you had expected. A photograph can fit a mile-high mountain into a frame, of course - and without knowing the subject's exact distance and the focal length of the lens used, the exact size of any subject can be only a matter of conjecture. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Getting key lines in your shot to run at an angle is one of the simplest ways of making your shots more dramatic. Photographic composition is simply a matter of arranging the elements in an order, to make it clearer what you are showing. There are no hard-and-fast rules but there are proven ways of making your picture look that touch more dynamic.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Colour is the most powerful and emotive of all the photographic elements. It can grab our attention, and can turn a mundane subject into a winning photograph. Usually colour looks its strongest when lit with frontal lighting but with some subjects this approach creates pictures where the colour is just too strong. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Photographers used to be told to stand with the sun over their shoulders. For many holiday pictures, this is still good advice. The frontal lighting ensures good colour, there is little contrast to cause exposure errors, and shadows are hidden from view.]]></description>

<title>Using Filters - For Photography and Photographers</title>

<description><![CDATA[If you're travelling, the amount of space you can afford for accessories is small. But although filters are rarely essential, they are extremely portable, and can have a dramatic result on your pictures. Most filters are designed to fit on the end of the lens - either screwing directly into the thread of the lens itself (round filters) or slotting into an adaptor which screws onto the lens (square filters). ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Many cameras, including SLRs, have built-in flash units nowadays, so that the photographer may no longer have to make the decision to pack the flashgun. But for after-dark photography, these miniature tubes are rarely powerful enough or correctly situated for great results. The flash provides a harsh lighting with strong shadows and being so close to the lens creates the additional problem of 'red-eye'.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The main purpose of telephoto lens settings is that they allow you to get 'closer' to a subject without having to move your feet, magnifying the image in comparison with shorter lenses. They are essential in situations where it is impossible or unwise to move within a certain distance of the subject. But whilst the use of long telephotos with sport and wildlife subjects is usually essential, most subjects will occasionally benefit from the use of a more extensive zoom.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If telephoto lenses start at around 70mm, and wide-angle ones are 35mm, then standard lens settings are the ones in between. With such a short range of focal lengths, they might not even seem worth worrying about. ]]></description>

But the view this range of focal lengths provides is essential for the tourist Since zoom lenses have become the norm for both SLR and compact users, most photographers now have instant access to both telephoto and wide-angle lens settings.

<title>Selecting the Shutter Speed - For Photographers and Photography</title>

<description><![CDATA[A fast enough shutter speed is essential to avoid a picture becoming blurred through camera shake, or because the subject itself was moving during exposure. As well as helping to control overall exposure, shutter speed has an important role in portraying movement within a picture. The first thing that shutter speed can eliminate is the movement of the camera itself. However steadily you try to hold the camera with your hands, involuntary movements from your muscles mean that it is impossible to keep the image in the viewfinder completely still.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Your legs need to apply most pressure during the downward phase of pedalling. With clip less pedal you produce a small amount of upward lifting at back of the stroke, but this is not the crux of cycling power or efficiency. Choosing the right gear to suit your effort level and the terrain will come with experience. Spin too fast and your legs will move little more than the air around them. However, push too hard a gear and your knees take a lot of strain plus you will tire easily.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Triathlon is an equipment-intensive sport. To compete, you need to have gear for swimming, biking, and running (which adds up to a carload), and there are many added extras that are nice to have during training. Although the fitness and strength of a rider are the biggest determining factors in performance, equipment is a key area where improvements can be made. Obviously, you will go faster with less energy on a 19-pound, titanium, triathlon filly than a 40- pound, discount-store steed. A fast bike will make any rider, regardless of his or her level, faster. Energy-wise, equipment improvements are free speed. Dollar-wise, however, they can be very costly.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[To ensure that when the big day arrives, you stand on the start line brimming with energy and enthusiasm, you should ease back a little on your training in the run up to a race. Traditionally this means reducing the distance you run in the days, or weeks, before a race by 50 per cent, and decreasing the frequency by about 20 cent, which means cutting down from five to four runs a week. The longer the race, the longer the taper, so if you're preparing for a marathon, you should start cutting back in the two or three weeks leading up to the race, while for a 5K you just need a few days of easier running before you compete.]]></description>
