This weeks tip is a very simple one. Watch your elevations. Simply, if your subject sits at a higher elevation than the camera, place the subject in the top half of the frame. If the subject sits below the camera, place it in the lower half of the frame. Following this simple guideline can help preserve the natural feel of your photograph.
Until next time, happy shooting.

Freelance web designer Vitaly Friedman has put together a listing of his choice of the best 25 free fonts available online, and it’s very hard to argue with his choices. He plainly states that his bias is towards fonts that are useful in a business setting, rather than those that would be more at home “on a colourful teenager’s homepage”.
At the Movies was the name of the show that Siskel & Ebert did where they reviewed movies. The name has changed over the years, and the critics have also changed, but the show has continued on. This week they opened up their archive on the web and they have archived reviews of over 5,000 movies! Roger Ebert announced it this way:
The various incarnations of Siskel & Ebert & Roeper represent more than 1,000 TV programs, on which the three of us, and various guest critics, reviewed more than 5,000 movies. And now at last an online archive exists with all of those reviews.
Starting Thursday, Aug. 2, visitors will be able to search for and watch all of those past debates, including the film clips that went along with them, plus the “ten best†and other special shows we did. The new archive will be at www.atthemoviestv.com, and will be the web’s largest collection of streaming reviews.

From PC World:
With easy online access to up-to-date medical information and reference materials, more adults in the U.S. are using the Internet to find out about their health, then talking to their personal doctors about what they find.
In fact, according to a new telephone poll by Harris Interactive Inc., about 160 million of the 225 million adults in the U.S. have looked online for information about their health, up 37 percent since 2005.
Two years ago, 117 million adults used the Web to access health information. Last year, that number had risen to 136 million adults. In fact, the latest figures show that the number of U.S. adults searching the Web for health information has more than tripled from 54 million in 1998, when the first Harris poll on the topic was conducted.

From the BBC:
There is a huge gap between advertised broadband speeds and the actual speeds users can achieve, research has shown.
A survey by consumer group Which? found that broadband packages promising speeds of up to 8Mbps (megabits per second) actually achieved far less.
Tests of 300 customers’ net connections revealed that the average download speed they were getting was 2.7Mbps.
Which? has called on regulator Ofcom and Trading Standards to launch a fresh investigation into UK broadband.
I would assume that the same complaints could be made wherever there is broadband. My cable company advertises 7Mb, but when asked about it, that is only between your computer and their main switching location. But of course I’m not downloading anything from their switching station, am I?!
