Aperture

Aperture Aperture being one of the three main elements in photography while other two being shutter speed and ISO, it can be used to control the overall exposure. Aperture determines the amount of light entering to the camera by varying the diameter of the iris. For example if the iris is wider, more light can go through to the camera and if the iris is narrower, relatively small amount of light can go through.    Figure 1.0 lens with high and low aperture The F-Stop value (Measurement of Aperture) Stop value in photography act as a measurement of exposure and will depend on the 3 major elements aperture, shutter speed and ISO. When it comes to aperture, it is denoted as f-stop. With the f-stop value you can determine the depth of the field. In lower f-stops, amount of light can pass through from the lens is high and pictures appear to be blurry this is called a shallow depth of field and this lowers the clarity of the entire picture. A high f-stop pictu...

Divided we fall united we Stand

Fun facts about ants is that they can lift 20 times its own weight. Ant colonies are controlled by a queen ant and there are soldiers and workers,ants can track their own trails for miles and there are more than 10,000 species of ants all over the world. But one of the most important thing about ants is their unity and bond, they always joined as a whole. This is one thing that humans can learn from ants “Divided we fall united we stand” its like the only thing that ants are following. On the other hand this will limit the creative and free thinking because if we all act like ants and doing only the things we told to do then humans will never invent the massive structures and complex technologies in past and humans will never evolve like this. I believe humans are free thinkers and always curious about their surroundings and this lead them to invent and explore, but still we have to admire the unity and the workmanship that ants have.
