It’s nice to see your subject in clear detail, don’t you think? Just in regards to any portrait may become much more powerful if you move a few paces nearer to your subject. Filling the frame makes a immense divergence and, when accomplished perfectly, looks substantially more professional. This Digital Photography Guide ‘focuses’ on the gains of moving up close and personal towards your subject!
You don’t even have to take steps toward your subject. Instead of in a literal sense moving nearer, try utilizing your camera’s zoom to obtain a close up shot. Portraits in truth look superior when they are completely zoomed in. That’s plainly because the longer lens has a tendency to flatten facial elements, reducing unsightly elements, such as big noses, for example.
When taking pictures of friends (or family) a heap of beginner photographers insist on including the subject’s finish body (or head as well as arms) in the shot. Instead, why not fill the frame by having your subject’s face only, particularly if they are caught in a moment of reflection. Why move in closer? Well, by having less clutter, there is merely less to draw the eye away from your main interest. If there’s anything in the picture that distracts from your main subject, your eye will surely be drawn to it, and the resulting effigy may look somewhat dull and uninteresting. Truly, close up humane faces are plainly something we gain outstanding pleasure from studying.
If you can’t get near sufficient when you ‘re taking the shot, you may effortlessly zoom in later utilizing Photoshop, or similar application. Crop out all except the subject’s face and see the divergence it makes – a much more powerful image. The good thing in regards to today’s digital cameras is plainly that they have a great deal of megapixels. Even if you crop out an enormous part of the image, you ought to still be capable to construct a decent quality portrait.
If using a compact camera, a word of caution. Since the viewfinder is not at an equivalent position with the lens, centering the topic in the viewfinder might perhaps result in an in the end off-centre picture. You may effortlessly counter this by way of using the LCD screen rather than the viewfinder. Some point-and-shoots in truth have a workaround built into the viewfinder. If, in your viewfinder, you see what looks like a dashed box, that’s merely the same division that the lens sees. You may then apply the viewfinder as long as you use the dashed box to frame your shot.

 Amazing Product
By coolguyonline
I dont usually write reviews…but this thing is insane. I’m a big tech freak and can say this item is superb…Its built better then Kodak models and has a amazing picture quality. Originally I was a bit skeptical buying this item as it was a brand I never heard of but this was a great buy. It was the lowest price I saw for this sized model, it cheaper then eBay! If you are looking for a cheap yet quality digital picture frame this is the one.

 Poor User Interface
By N. Knutsen
The piximodo reflection 15 1gb does a decent job of displaying pictures and is relatively easy to connect to a computer. By resizing your pictures to a 1024×768 resolution you cam put over 1000 pictures on the internal memory. It can also display pictures on typical memory cards and can be hung on the wall. Of course if your computer is not next to where you place the picture you have to move it to connect the computer. Since it also has an internal clock and calender you need to reset these after every move. So it would be nice if you could easily copy pictures from a memory stick to the internal memory. This is possible but the number of keystrokes needed to accomplish this relatively simple task are amazingly long and complicated and requires an exact sequence that is not described correctly in the instruction manual. After the slightest mistake you have to start all over. As a result I fumbled with it for about 15 minutes before I discovered how to do this. The person who designed the interface was an idiot. It does not help that English was not the native language of the person who wrote the instruction manual.

 Good hardware, bad firmware
By E. Black
I was given this frame and am happy with the hardware. The picture is sharp and bright, it has several inputs, it comes with a remote as well as menu navigation buttons on the side of the frame, and it has a removable wall mounting bracket. However, the firmware (internal software) leaves a lot to be desired. There is no timer to make it turn on and off at certain times of the day-either you turn it on and off manually or add an external timer. There is no random play mode, so pictures always display in the same order from the beginning of the folder unless you manually select the starting picture. It automatically plays a slideshow of photos in the root folder of your memory card, but you can only store 256 files in the root. Saving photos to a subfolder fixes that, but you have to manually select the folder each time you turn the frame on. It has 1GB of internal memory which is nice, but if you want to transfer photos from a memory card or USB stick you have to do it one photo at a time through a slow, non-intuitive process. It displays the pictures from my camera, but if I edit them on my PC, they often do not display. Some pictures cause it to lock up, others display darkly, some have a wide horizontal band with corrupted colors, etc. I have tried saving the JPG files from several different programs with different options but none have fixed the problem. It also seems to have a problem with photos saved at 1024×768 resolution (the native resolution of the frame). This should be the best resolution to use…the photos do not have to be resized to be displayed, they take the least possible space, and load the fastest-they just don’t display. The person who gave me the frame bought one for himself and has similar problems with it. I tried to contact Piximodo’s support but they never responded to me.
