Future gear

In light of Google's announcement that they are no longer developing Gears and gradually in favor of HTML 5, how does this affect the Widget SDK?

That HTML 5 standards evolve, RIM will also consider to provide support in the rendering engine of the browser that is shared by the native browser for BlackBerry and BlackBerry Widget SDK.

At this point, there are no current plans to end support for the gears in BlackBerry Widgets or the browser.

  • Best upgrade

    I bought a Canon EOS Rebel XTi camera in a package deal a few years back that came with an EFS 18-55mm and EF 75-300 zoom. It was a good setup for me, but what would be the best thing that I could buy to make it better? Something or a combination of things under a cople of hundred dollars. I am a novice.

    "Hundreds of dollars" will not go very far, I fear.

    1 LENS.

    The first thing I would suggest that you consider, especially for landscape photography, is a lens wide angle... But most cost $500 or more. Among these, the Canon EF-S 10-22mm USM is one of the best... but it's also more than you say you want to spend.

    A new and lower price alternative is the new EF-S 10-18mm IS STM Canon has just announced. I haven't used (few people have) because it is not in stock, any where, again... and can be a little difficult to find a little time. This lens seems to be reasonably compact (67 mm filter uses) and will be sold for about $300. Also, the sun visor sold separately (EW - 73) is not quite yet available, but seems to be priced below $ 30. Not sure that I need IS on a lens with short focal lengths... but, Hey, it never hurts to have! STM focus drive must be good, too. Now, none of us have had the chance to use this lens, but taking the cannon in the word with what they say about this, must be very nice.

    Other things that may be in your budget "hundreds of dollars"...

    2 TRIPOD

    If you do not already have one, I would say a good tripod.  But, be careful. Don't go too cheap, too compact nor too light with this, or you will not find the use or by replacing enough fast. One who seems a very good deal for me is the Adorama Flashpoint F1228 kit for about $220 including delivery. It is a clone of tripod Gitzo 'Series 2' journalist, with a fairly standard carbon fiber, but decent looking ball head with quick release. (I use several real Gitzo, which are excellent, but much more expensive, but I also use a lot of heavier cameras and lenses that you).

    I have also heard good things about Dolica tripods, but have no real experience with them. They offer several models of carbon fiber, which is what I would recommend. There are a few other quite affordable brands, but also some that are much more expensive. Just be careful, check out them in person if possible, and try to avoid too light, fragile, and poorly made.

    Purchased on the right, a tripod can be a single purchase. A carbon fiber tripod is a little more expensive, but it is lighter than the tripod in aluminium of the same capacity. In addition, carbon fiber absorbs vibrations small, where the 'rings' metal and reverberates. In addition, the CF is a little nicer to handle hot and cold weather.

    A tripod is a number of things for you and a lot of landscape photographers wouldn't think of shooting without having a. Of course, a tripod stabilizes your shot and allows you to make longer than computer possible exposures of pocket. Another thing that makes tripod is to force you to slow down and examine more carefully the are you will take. This usually results in much nicer pictures. Someone once said do arrows multiple panoramas and a tripod will help well do, too.

    3 LENS HOODS

    If you don't already have them, download the lens hood for your lenses. I believe that the 18-55mm uses a hood EW - 63C and 75-300 uses a hood AND-60. Just get into the habit of using lens hoods. They protect your lenses from the oblique light and physical shocks. I see people shot without condoms all the time... and that makes no sense at all to me. A lens hood is a simple, fast & easy to use and inexpensive accessory that can only help your images. I rarely shoot without having a.

    4 FILTERS

    And, if you don't already have some, a filter or two can be really useful. First of all, I would recommend a circular polarizer of quality. I think that your 18-55mm lens uses 58 mm filters (double check that) and I would say one to fit this lens first, since it is probably the lens you will use for landscape photography. A C - Pol filter will deepen the blue of the sky and make the white clouds "pop." It also intensifies colors by reflections of the cup of the foliage and other surfaces. You can use this control reflections on water and other surfaces, too. It is one of the more widely useful filters, as well as one of the most impossible to reproduce with digital software. I recommend B + W MRC XS - Pro and Kaesemann. Hoya HD, HD2, HMC a SHMC. and Marumi DHG. Among others. You do not want a C - POL on your lens all that time... he cuts one or two stops of light. But you will find it useful several times, once you learn to use it.

    Another type of filter that is popular is a neutral density or ND. These animals are generally gray, come in variable strength and are used to reduce the one of light reaching the sensor, so speeds that shutter slower and more large openings can be used on purpose. You've probably seen these picturesque shots with water mobile search creamy... If a stream, waterfall or ocean suft. Most of these types of shots require a kind of ND filter, when shooting with a digital camera. This is because most of the digital cameras am below ISO 100 or even 200. Some go to ISO 50. This limits the slow shutter speed can be used when shooting in daylight. If you receive this type of filter, you'll want to probably a few different strong points... they come in one, two, three, 5, 8, 10 and even more stop strengths. There is 'variable' (turn to change resistance, similar to a C - Pol), but these tend to give unequal effects and sometimes cause unwanted color shades. Note: ND filters are also often needed for videography, where the limits of frame rates limit the opening which can be used in available light.

    Another type of filter which is historically very popular among landscape photographers is the Neutral Density or ND Grad degree. These are half clear, half gray in different dosages and are used to balance a too bright sky with a foreground of an image, for example. With this type of filter, do not buy the round, screw type. You must be able to position the line of gradation differently for each image, so need to use the rectangular type of the filter, which fits into a special bracket that mounts to the front of the lens, allowing you to rotate and slide the filter if necessary.

    I have a nice set of graduates ND dating of when I shot with the film, but frankly I hardly use them more. Shooting digital, I can now do a better job with post-processing... techniques combining several exhibitions or multi-processing a single RAW file and then recombine the part "correctly exposed" of each. It's much more accurate, precise and controllable was always possible with filters.

    5. THE SOFTWARE

    But this brings us to another thing... If not already done, learn RAW and post-process your images. Canon delivered provided with your camera software is very good, but you might want to look at an all-in-one package with some features, such as Adobe Elements. If so, get a book or two on this issue, too... to help you get up to speed using it quickly and more easily. RAW image files are like a digital negative, of sorts. That's all what the camera captured at the time of exposure, but almost always need little more work so that it becomes an image can be used (JPEG, TIFF, PNG or other). However, a shot in-camera JPEG throws a lot of data and is much less "adjustable" afterwards... then you must get your exposure settings, white balance, etc. right the first time... There are fewer opportunities to change or correct later.

    6 CALIBRATION

    You can also consider calibration of your computer. There are various devices and software for this purpose, but the general idea is that most computer monitors do not give very loyal and almost all colors are much, much too bright. This makes it difficult to work accurately with your images and can lead you to a blumenthals trying to make prints. The secret is the calibration. This doesn't have to be outrageously expensive... and can pay for itself if you do a lot of prints, saving paper and ink or pulled apart if you send your print.

    7. BOOKS & CLASSES

    In general, the book of $18 "Understanding Exposure" by Brian Peterson may be the best money you ever spend on your photography. I highly recommend, regardless of your level of experience, but especially for novices. Buy it. Read. Investigate it. Learn it. Your photography will be much better and you'll get the most out of your equipment.

    There are other good books that you can watch. Some are specific to your camera in particular, guides that will help you make the most out it. Others are specific to a type of material or technical photography. Look for things that most of you are interested in.

    Or, you could take a few classes or seminars... or get involved in a photography club... or sign up for a visit in pictures or safari. This can be a great way to learn and develop your skills and too. May be as good an investment as the train would be.

    I suggest also that put you in place a plan, future gear updated level or additions to work when the budget allows. For example, maybe you don't shoot macro now, but I would like to try your hand at it in the future. It could be any number of things... Justg begin to search for and develop a list of things you want to try or items you want to improve. It may be a simple upgrade. For example, if yours is the kit lens 18-55mm that was originally supplied with the XTi, ago most recent and IS a version improved the EF-S 18 - 55 EF-S 18-55 IS STM. Update "Stepper Motor" of the latter is faster, quieter and more precise. An upgrade even more high-end and, of course, the most expensive would be the lens EF-S 17 - 55 / 2.8 IS USM.

    Don't know how use you it, but there are also a number of improvements since the 75- 300 mm you have. The most affordable is the EF-S 55-250mm, now also with the STM focus drive. There are also several 70- 300 L IS USM is the most award-winning build and image quality. One of the EF 70-200mm lenses would be very nice upgrades, too... These are real 'horse' lenses that you find in bags for cameras in most of the pro shooters. The IS versions of them are stabilized, which may be important for telephoto lenses. The f4 versions are more compact and lighter weight, which might be nice for travel.

    You do not have the funds to one of them now, but someday you might. And if you have a capital plan that you want to add or upgrade in the future, you can prioritize according to your needs and usage and to start working with the eventual upgrade. No plan is set in stone, either. You can always change, if your needs or modification of the options available.

  • Radio Flash for Alpha A99 and HVL-F60M wireless transmitters

    The only thing that prevents me to sell all my Nikon and Sony switching equipment is the lack of Flash in the wireless Radio transmitters that allow control of area and ratio manual, TTL and Hypersync via a radio signal. I shoot outdoors allot and communication through light as the system Nikon CLS simply does not.

    Maybe Pocket Wizard or RadioPopper will work on this soon, but I'm not holding my breath, and their range of the signal is still weak.

    I also have a repeater transmitter/receiver for the signal around obstacles.

    Sony you should do them instead. You could probably do it better anyway.

    Future gear should have built it in anyway.

  • OS5 HTML5 gear - openDatabase fails - undefined database

    Hello..

    Today, I tried to create a simple widget with intervention from the database. I started with reading a few articles on the blackberry developer pages and found some interesting resources. Especially since the support gear was abandoned with OS6.  Widgets my future must run on OS5 OS6 devices, so I followed the instructions to support the gears using HTML5 in the BlackBerry Widget applications.

    After reading a few things about this Api WebSQL, I tried to create a little Gizmo, which stores a simple text input in the database. I tried the WebSQL Code in my browser (Opera) normal and it worked, but not when I test it in the BlackBerry Simulator.

    I created my widget as described in the tutorial "how to avoid recompiling a BlackBerry Widget during development.

    In my widget, the "openDatabase" call fails, even if this function exists. I tried to get the error with a try-catch block information, but the call fails "silently". After investigating this feature (display its content in a textarea component) I found creating a database object in a try-catch block.

    When I try to create these objects in database for me, it throws the following exception: ReferenceError: "Database" is not defined.

    You have any ideas?

    I use the widget in a Curve 8520 Simulator, OS Version 5.0.0.50 9, Version 2.13.0.97 Simulator.

    If you would like more information, please ask!

  • Calendar of future events is not displayed

    Calendar does not show future events in the search & spotlight search also

    Welcome Kevin_lpc,

    Thanks for posting on Apple Support communities. I see that the calendar does not show upcoming events in your Spotlight search. I know how it is to have. I'll be more than happy to help.

    Take a look at this article:

    Use the search on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support

    In particular, take a look at the end that talks on the parameters. You want to make sure that the calendar is enabled in Spotlight search.

    Change search settings

    Go to settings > general > Spotlight search.

    From there, you can enable or disable the Suggestions of Siri and choose which applications to include in your search. For example, if you don't want to see the results of the research in your Messages app, you can deselect Messages.

    If you don't want Siri or Spotlight to suggest close places, go to settings > privacy > location Services and press Siri and dictation. Under allow access to location, tap never. Find out where you can use the Spotlight Suggestions.

    Take care!

  • In watch OS 3, by turning the Crown does not appear past/future events/time

    In previous versions of watchOS, turning the Crown while on the dial of the watch changed the time and showed the complication for both values changed.  For example, by turning the Crown can show time as one hour in the future and would show the temperature because it was expected to be in the future an hour.

    I've updated my watch watch OS 3 and it no longer works.  By turning the Crown while on the dial of the watch does nothing.

    Anyone watching this?  Is there a setting in order to restore the former function?

    Go to watch on the iPhone, go to the clock, turn on the trip in time, by default the OS 3 is turned off (unlike the OS 2, where it was).

  • When I click on the gear in modules to select Reset all the Add-ons to update manually, NO checkmark shows and firefox deletes icon Protection of Kaspersky

    I love the old version of Firefox, because I REFUSE to use my computer without Kaspersky. I have it? > Kaspersky is MORE important for me than Firefox (G.Chrome is my backup)

    Now I have KIS 2016 and I love its hexagonal icon, showing attempts it is blocking (it is set to block). Firefox 3 times now DELETED this icon, but shows that the Protection of Kaspersky is always an active add-in. I had to uninstall KIS 2016 3 times to return to this icon. When I click on the gear to select the background choice 'Reset all the Add-ons to update manually', nothing happens. No check mark shows, in Options / Advanced, I chose never "check updates". I'm tired of wasting my time to re - install KIS 2016 to get back on this icon. About: config I have enabled FALSE app.update.auto, app.update.enable and app.update.silent. What can be done in addition to the removal of Firefox? (I'm NOT going to install latest Firefox because it is incompatible with KIS).

    You are using a version of Firefox that is very old, please upgrade to the latest version of Firefox updated to the latest version. Kapersky drops support for older versions of Firefox, so if you do not update you may encounter problems in the strange, not to mention many security bugs in older versions of Firefox.

    Then, make sure that you use the latest version of Kapersky and then use controls, buttons and Toolbars Customize Firefox to add the icon of kapersky on toolbars of Firefox.

  • What is the future of the RHEL6 for firefox?

    I was curious, so I downloaded firefox 44 from the server every night. It does not work on RHEL6. Which made me wonder how long firefox will continue to be available to RHEL6. I searched, but I can't find a future roadmap OS compatibility. Surely one exists, somewhere.

    How long firefox will support RHEL6?

    I can not answer, but I noticed that the system requirements for Linux usually is expressed by specific versions of libraries and packages.

    So for Firefox 41:

    • Firefox won't work at all without the following libraries or packages:
           GTK+ 2.18 or higher
           GLib 2.22 or higher
           Pango 1.14 or higher
           X.Org 1.0 or higher (1.7 or higher is recommended)
           libstdc++ 4.3 or higher
    
    • For optimal functionality, we recommend that libraries or the following packages:
           NetworkManager 0.7 or higher
           DBus 1.0 or higher
           HAL 0.5.8 or higher
           GNOME 2.16 or higher
    

    For Firefox beta (Firefox future, 42) there is a significant change for the first article:

    • Firefox won't work at all without the following libraries or packages:
           GTK+ 3.4 or higher
           GLib 2.22 or higher
           Pango 1.14 or higher
           X.Org 1.0 or higher (1.7 or higher is recommended)
           libstdc++ 4.3 or higher
    
    • For optimal functionality, we recommend that libraries or the following packages:
           NetworkManager 0.7 or higher
           DBus 1.0 or higher
           HAL 0.5.8 or higher
           GNOME 2.16 or higher
    

    Developer Edition lists the same requirements as the Beta.

    It is without doubt a similar list for every night, but the download pages are organized differently and I do not see.
