TUNJUK KEBOLEHAN...setiap pelajar ada keupayaan tersendiri, justeru  kelas mengikut aliran boleh diwujudkan. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--End Photo --&gt;       AKHIRNYA persoalan sama ada Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR)  dan peperiksaan Penilaian Menengah Rendah  (PMR) dimansuh atau  dikekalkan terjawab apabila kerajaan mengumumkan kedua-dua peperiksaan  itu menggunakan format baru mulai 2016.&lt;br /&gt;
Ia melegakan masyarakat yang mahukan pendekatan baru serta telus  dalam menilai prestasi pelajar berbanding sistem akademik dan  peperiksaan yang dilihat lebih membebankan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bagaimanapun, ada  yang tidak setuju dan berpendapat sistem peperiksaan masih relevan  selain mempersoalkan persediaan pihak terbabit mencorak pembaharuan  pendidikan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kini, wujud perbahasan, sama ada format baru itu  bakal memberi impak dan mampu melonjakkan prestasi ke tahap  membanggakan.&lt;br /&gt;
Dekan Fakulti Pendidikan Universiti Malaya (UM), Prof Dr Saedah  Siraj, berkata sudah tiba masanya negara melangkah ke era pendidikan  baru lebih fleksibel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beliau berkata cita rasa dunia kini  berubah dan memerlukan suntikan baru dalam proses penyampaian,  penerimaan serta pemahaman maklumat supaya masyarakat lebih bersedia  berdepan arus permodenan.&lt;br /&gt;
Dekan Fakulti Pendidikan Universiti Malaya (UM), Prof Dr Saedah  Siraj, berkata sudah tiba masanya negara melangkah ke era pendidikan  baru lebih fleksibel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beliau berkata cita rasa dunia kini  berubah dan memerlukan suntikan baru dalam proses penyampaian,  penerimaan serta pemahaman maklumat supaya masyarakat lebih bersedia  berdepan arus permodenan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Meskipun pendidikan ditakrif sebagai elemen sejagat, perubahan perlu  ada sebagai mengimbangi kehendak global yang pantas berubah dan semakin  berteraskan kemajuan serta kepelbagaian.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Pemansuhan itu  mencerminkan keberanian dan anjakan paradigma baru dalam sistem  pendidikan negara, jangan jadikannya kontroversi atau disalah anggap  kerana ia memang diperlukan, &quot; katanya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Menurutnya, meskipun  negara memiliki sistem pendidikan antara terbaik di dunia, ia  dianggap  ketinggalan kerana menggunakan kaedah peperiksaan sebagai penilaian  tahap kecemerlangan pelajar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Semua tahu tahap pencapaian  setiap pelajar berbeza, tidak boleh dinilai melalui satu sistem  semata-mata, malangnya itulah yang diguna pakai sejak sekian lama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Ini  menyebabkan pelajar bosan dan tertekan, sekali gus mencetuskan insiden  tidak dijangka, misalnya bunuh diri hanya kerana gagal dalam  peperiksaan.  &quot;Sekolah patut jadi tempat menyeronokkan bukan  membosankan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Justeru apabila kedua-dua peperiksaan itu  dimansuhkan, ia wajar mendapat sokongan kerana membantu meringankan  &#39;penderitaan&#39; pelajar,&quot; katanya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meskipun format baru masih  belum diputuskan, ia bagai menamatkan dilema pelajar, institusi sekolah,  ibu bapa dan masyarakat yang mahukan kongkongan peperiksaan ditamatkan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cadangan  format  boleh disarankan ialah menyediakan aliran pengajian bersesuaian  di tingkatan satu mengikut kehendak dan kapasiti pencapaian pelajar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aliran  itu, katanya, boleh dijadikan asas menilai dan mencorakkan pencapaian  pelajar dalam tempoh lima tahun hingga tamat pengajian tingkatan lima.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Pelajar  boleh memilih aliran diingini berdasarkan minat, kehendak, cita-cita  dan diberi kelonggaran tidak terikat dengan kehendak pencapaian akademik  semata-mata.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Ia umpama saringan penilaian sebelum memasuki  pengajian tinggi. Kaedah ini boleh mengelak tekanan belajar, sekali gus  memudahkan proses penyampaian ilmu,&quot; katanya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beliau  menegaskan konsep pendidikan bukan hanya terhad kepada akademik dan  peperiksaan semata-mata, malah boleh  menggunakan pendekatan deria  seperti mendengar, melihat dan merasa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Ramai beranggapan  hanya akademik dan peperiksaan penting menentukan kecemerlangan pelajar  manakala proses pembelajaran berlangsung di bilik darjah.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Anggapan  itu perlu diperbetulkan kerana ilmu boleh diperoleh menerusi pelbagai  cara, bergantung bagaimana guru mengaplikasi kaedah itu supaya boleh  diterima dan difahami pelajar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Realitinya kebanyakan pelajar  negara ini bersifat pasif dan enggan bertanya, dengan pemansuhan, skop  pembelajaran lebih luas, sekali gus menggalakkan pengembangan budaya  ilmu dengan kaedah bersesuaian,&quot; katanya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dr Saedah  turut  mencadangkan pelajar kurang cemerlang dimasukkan ke kelas pemulihan agar  dapat memperbaiki kelemahan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Dalam sistem pendidikan,  pelajar lemah kurang mampu menguasai 3M (membaca, mengira, menulis).  Kelemahan ini boleh diatasi dengan kelas pemulihan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Sistem  sedia ada kurang mempraktikkan S&amp;lt; menyebabkan mereka terus  ketinggalan, justeru, aliran kelas berbeza ditambah kelas pemulihan  dapat membantu memperbaiki kekurangan itu,&quot; katanya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sebagai  sokongan dan persiapan negara menuju perubahan global, beliau  berpendapat sudah tiba masanya kerajaan menubuhkan Pusat Pengembangan  Pendidikan Masa Depan yang dapat menyediakan pelbagai hasil kajian.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Di  negara maju, peranan pusat ini diiktiraf membantu pelbagai sektor  merangka  persediaan  masa depan,&quot; katanya.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Total tuning is a philosophy that involves putting parts together that will work well as a whole to net the maximum performance intended. The ultimate goal of our KA24DE build is to yield extreme power yet keep it within a reasonable realm of reliability. With the completion of our long-block assembly, we ensured that we had a strong core for our KA24DE. Next, we will go over the external engine accessories and parts to seal up our motor, preparing for its installation into our donor vehicle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since Naoto was going to build a KA24DE project long before we approached him about it, he had already begun making appropriations for an intake and exhaust manifold. By the time we got to our build, the basic construction of both pieces was already done. All that remained was for it to be adjusted for final.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The KA24DE intake manifold is similar in design to its S13 SR20DET brother in that it also has a two-piece design and runner path. After analyzing the overall design of various SR20DET aftermarket surge tanks, Naoto came up with his own design, using a SR20DET surge tank and the factory KA24DE as a base. The surge tank is a five-piece design that&#39;s constructed of a 3mm die-pressed aluminum sheet. That means that each sheet is cut to fit, inserted into a die mold, and pressed to shape. Each of the pieces are fitted together like a jigsaw puzzle to give it the overall shape. To promote a smoother, even flow of air, Naoto added velocity stacks at the end of each runner. The entire assembly is welded together after careful fitment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To flow enough air to hit our power goals we knew a big turbo was in order, but we didn&#39;t think that NPD would go with a turbo this big. The weapon of choice is an HKS T51KAI turbo. Our initial reaction was: &quot;No, that is way too big,&quot; but after the shock, we realized it made a lot of sense. This turbo is rated to make power in the 800bhp range, a hair over our target of 750 bhp. A heavy-duty turbo needs an equally heavy-duty wastegate to keep up with it. We called on Turbosmart for its new Power-Gate60. Newly released, it&#39;s 30 percent lighter, 20 percent smaller, and has 40 percent more flow than its previous Power-Gate50.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The design of the exhaust manifold is pretty straightforward. The key criterion is the same as any high-performance exhaust manifold: be able to adequately flow, be rigid enough to not crack, and be serviceable. The base flange is a 19mm CNC-machined piece designed by NPD. Exhaust moves out of the flange into 42.7mm ID, 3mm thick runners. Each runner meets at a 4-1 merge collector and is finally pushed out through a HKS v-band turbo inlet. Waste pressure is sent through a double-slip fit wastegate outlet tube. The wastegate tube is plumbed right at the base of the merge collector to maximize efficiency. The combination of wall thickness, pipe size, design, and slip fit joints work together to meet all of our criteria.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Fourth Generation &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fourth-generation 4A-GE engine was produced from 1991 to 1995. It has silver cam covers with chrome lettering, hence the nickname &quot;silver top&quot;. This engine yet again features a completely new cylinder head which uses five valves per cylinder instead of four. It uses Toyota Variable Valve Timing ( system on the intake cam, an increased compression ratio (10.5:1), and the intake system was replaced with a short manifold with individual throttles and velocity stacks, however the vane-type  was retained, requiring the use of a plenum. The previous 16-valve head used a sharply curved intake port, while the 20-valve engine used a very upright straight port. This engine produces 160&amp;nbsp;PS (120 kW; 160 hp) at 7400&amp;nbsp;rpm with 16.5&amp;nbsp;kg·m (119 ft·lbf) at 5200&amp;nbsp;rpm of torque.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Fifth Generation&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fifth-generation 4A-GE engine produced from 1995 to 1998 is the final version of the 4A-GE engine and has black cam covers. This engine is commonly known as the &quot;black top&quot; due to the color of the valve cover, and yet again features an even higher compression ratio (11:1), the air flow sensor is replaced with a MAP sensor, the diameter of the four individual throttle bodies was increased from 42&amp;nbsp;mm to 45&amp;nbsp;mm, the exhaust port diameter was increased, the intake cam lift was increased from 7.9&amp;nbsp;mm to 8.2&amp;nbsp;mm and the intake ports were significantly improved in shape, contour and also the width at opening at the head was increased. Additionally, the black top had a lighter flywheel, a larger plenum, and revised rubber velocity stacks, and was also offered in 1997 with a six-speed &lt;br /&gt;
This revision increased the power to 165&amp;nbsp;PS (121 kW; 163 hp) at 7800&amp;nbsp;rpm with 16.5&amp;nbsp;kg·m (119 ft·lbf) of torque at 5600&amp;nbsp;rpm. These figures were issued by Toyota and are considered optimistic. It is assumed that Toyota ran the motor without ancillaries to inflate the power ratings, as some companies did before the adoption of the SAE J1349 rating standards in 2005. Still, the &#39;Blacktop&#39; has become a favorite among enthusiasts and is used as an easy power upgrade for the early Toyota Corolla models, especially for use in the drift scene. Squeezing extra power from such a highly strung N/A engine can be expensive because of the relatively high state of tuning of the stock motor, and most gains come from higher lift cams and engine management.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://any4tho.blogspot.com/feeds/2093044187315531906/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://any4tho.blogspot.com/2010/10/toyota-silver-top-and-black-top-which.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3292090859420578686/posts/default/2093044187315531906'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3292090859420578686/posts/default/2093044187315531906'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://any4tho.blogspot.com/2010/10/toyota-silver-top-and-black-top-which.html' title='Toyota (Silver top and Black Top), Which is the best?'/><author><name>Any4tho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08259439319577502256</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgv-OM9KljSKPgxB-0Pcrsv0_jQDbnIszQvCZO-PWie_aPt1n18LJniBNH4BdeyI6R3nmE40wAz-0NC-5gclHkORej2TOKeAwZZDoYQBIdMmZ6VOy9b9YX_-YSV0pDTFA/s220/DSC01512.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQvCJ62BT18H1XVU804yWBn_uM-fnMs9A8G2kzuSsRQcsA0ByP9fFcvjdkovNTXDBgKs6VokmU1-xPa66NPhARWbzIGDVCS5LEMTtQZ_TvPMFUQWPYwBfTG3_x25wnYRNV6B_eToisKzQ/s72-c/toyota" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292090859420578686.post-7973854952789764281</id><published>2010-10-18T17:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-18T17:39:22.218-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Mazda Turbo</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgikbQZ9CVp3h4hlfqxpSEsgQDbu9EumNQDE7OjA8Dh6T3Qt5NojKbVFkhTEl8HVf7QVLqjXzeYgO7bAdQ3_wnJWB-uKJg1KuTZZqLlOkDd5rDy2yb5bUukD0Lzw4jh-noqADVXsY7S4w8Y/s1600/mazda.bmp&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgikbQZ9CVp3h4hlfqxpSEsgQDbu9EumNQDE7OjA8Dh6T3Qt5NojKbVFkhTEl8HVf7QVLqjXzeYgO7bAdQ3_wnJWB-uKJg1KuTZZqLlOkDd5rDy2yb5bUukD0Lzw4jh-noqADVXsY7S4w8Y/s320/mazda.bmp&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;1990 Mazda Miata Turbo -  The Funky &quot;minimonster&quot; The engine might look pint-size, but the power  output is far from that.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;DOCH&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The VTEC system is a simple method of endowing the engine with multiple camshaft profiles optimized for low and high RPM operations. Instead of one cam lobe actuating each valve, there are two: one optimized for low-RPM stability &amp;amp; fuel efficiency; the other designed to maximize high-RPM power output. Switching between the two cam lobes is controlled by the ECU which takes account of engine oil pressure, engine temperature, vehicle speed, engine speed and throttle position. Using these inputs, the ECU is programmed to switch from the low lift to the high lift cam lobes when the conditions mean that engine output will be improved. At the switch point a solenoid is actuated which allows oil pressure from a spool valve to operate a locking pin which binds the high RPM cam follower to the low RPM ones. From this point on, the poppet valves opens and closes according to the high-lift profile, which opens the valve further and for a longer time. The switch-over point is variable, between a minimum and maximum point, and is determined by engine load. The switch back from high to low RPM cams is set to occur at a lower engine speed than the up-switch to avoid a situation in which the engine is asked to operate continuously at or around the switch-over point.&lt;br /&gt;
Introduced as a DOCH system in the 1989 Honda Integra and Civic CRX SiR (Japan) and 1.6i-VT (Europe) models, which used a 160&amp;nbsp;bhp (120 kW) variant of the B16A engine. The US market saw the first VTEC system with the introduction of the 1991 Acurra NSX, which used a 3 liter DOHC VTEC V6 with 280&amp;nbsp;bhp (210 kW). DOHC VTEC engines soon appeared in other vehicles, such as the 1992 Acura Integra GS-R (B17A1 1.7 liter engine). And later in the 1992 Honda Prelude VTEC (H22A 2.2 liter engine with 195&amp;nbsp;hp) and Honda Del Sol VTEC (B16A 1.6 liter engine). The Integra Type R (1997–2001) available in the Japanese market produces 200&amp;nbsp;bhp (149 kW; 203 PS) using a B18C5 1.8 liter engine. Honda has also continued to develop other varieties and today offers several varieties of VTEC, such as i-VTEC and i-VTEC Hybrid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;SOCH&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As popularity and marketing value of the VTEC system grew, Honda applied the system to  (Single Over Head Cam) engines, which share a common camshaft for both intake and exhaust valves. The trade-off was that Honda&#39;s SOHC engines only benefitted from the VTEC mechanism on the intake valves. This is because VTEC requires a third center rocker arm and cam lobe (for each intake and exhaust side), and in the SOHC engine, the spark plugs are situated between the two exhaust rocker arms, leaving no room for the VTEC rocker arm. Additionally, the center lobe on the camshaft can only be utilized by either the intake or the exhaust, limiting the VTEC feature to one side.&lt;br /&gt;
However, beginning with the J37A4 3.7L SOHC V6 engine introduced on all 2009 Acura TL SH-AWD models, SOHC VTEC was incorporated for use with intake and exhaust valves. The intake and exhaust rocker shafts contain primary and secondary intake and exhaust rocker arms, respectively. The primary rocker arm contains the VTEC switching piston, while the secondary rocker arm contains the return spring. The term &quot;primary&quot; does not refer to which rocker arm forces the valve down during low-RPM engine operation. Rather, it refers to the rocker arm which contains the VTEC switching piston and receives oil from the rocker shaft.The primary exhaust rocker arm contacts a low-profile camshaft lobe during low-RPM engine operation. Once VTEC engagement occurs, the oil pressure flowing from the exhaust rocker shaft into the primary exhaust rocker arm forces the VTEC switching piston into the secondary exhaust rocker arm, thus locking both exhaust rocker arms together. The high-profile camshaft lobe which normally contacts the secondary exhaust rocker arm alone during low-RPM engine operation is able to move both exhaust rocker arms together which are locked as a unit.&lt;br /&gt;
The secondary intake rocker arm contacts a low-profile camshaft lobe during low-RPM engine operation. Once VTEC engagement occurs, the oil pressure flowing from the intake rocker shaft into the primary intake rocker arm forces the VTEC switching piston into the secondary intake rocker arm, thus locking both intake rocker arms together. The high-profile camshaft lobe which normally contacts the primary intake rocker alone during low-RPM engine operation is able to move both intake rocker arms together which are locked as a unit.The difficulty of incorporating VTEC for both the intake and exhaust valves in a SOHC engine has been removed on the J37A4 by a novel design of the intake rocker arm. Each exhaust valve on the J37A4 corresponds to one primary and one secondary exhaust rocker arm. Therefore, there are a total of twelve primary exhaust rocker arms and twelve secondary exhaust rocker arms.However, each secondary intake rocker arm is shaped similar to a &quot;Y&quot; which allows it to contact two intake valves at once. One primary intake rocker arm corresponds to each secondary intake rocker arm. As a result of this design, there are only six primary intake rocker arms and six secondary intake rocker arms. 170bhp B16A EQUIPPED CIVIC EG6 SIR&lt;br /&gt;

A favourite Honda car of mine is the Eg6, Ek9 Type R and the Dc2 Type R. With a race tuned engine, these machines are exceptionally fast in the touge and circuits.And if you notice, all the car that i mention is in the 90’s where they only bother on producing maximum power without even thinking of fuel consumption and emmission.It is&amp;nbsp; the glorious day of car modification.&lt;br /&gt;
Eventhough all this vtec engine had been around for more tha 20 years, it is still one of the favourite engines to be worked on. Especially the B16 and the B18 series. So i would like to share as much info as possible on the Vtec B Series engine.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://any4tho.blogspot.com/feeds/4873277545757662408/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://any4tho.blogspot.com/2010/09/do-you-know-what-is-vtec-engine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3292090859420578686/posts/default/4873277545757662408'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3292090859420578686/posts/default/4873277545757662408'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://any4tho.blogspot.com/2010/09/do-you-know-what-is-vtec-engine.html' title='Do you know what is VTEC ENGINE?'/><author><name>Any4tho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08259439319577502256</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgv-OM9KljSKPgxB-0Pcrsv0_jQDbnIszQvCZO-PWie_aPt1n18LJniBNH4BdeyI6R3nmE40wAz-0NC-5gclHkORej2TOKeAwZZDoYQBIdMmZ6VOy9b9YX_-YSV0pDTFA/s220/DSC01512.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAIvPwm30k3wNQEGlolg8m43DnL0Flym0mwxM5I3E6LOi_oO176R2_ANwXRBseXV-DeoJ4KR8PZuKHrGuPPEZFziKNWpnsrW01SG7Xm1c2SolcQWF0TCSBBOt359lH3xNv0_Zn2k3Ts1E/s72-c/clip_image001.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292090859420578686.post-2870450977130502590</id><published>2010-09-30T18:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-30T18:25:49.339-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Guru Sudah Jadi Kerani (Harian Metro), Apa pendapat Anda?</title><content type='html'>BESARNYA cabaran dan tanggungjawab dipikul guru masa kini menimbulkan  pertikaian di kalangan masyarakat adakah golongan itu mampu  melaksanakan amanah dengan sempurna.&lt;br /&gt;

tidak wajar dibebankan lagi dengan tugasan sampingan remeh sebaliknya 
fokus pada tanggungjawab hakiki.&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;307&quot; src=&quot;http://www.hmetro.com.my/articles/Gurusudahjadikerani/pix_topright&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
PENUH DUGAAN...mengajar pelajar sudah cukup mencabar, guru tidak wajar dibebankan lagi dengan tugasan sampingan remeh sebaliknya  fokus pada tanggungjawab hakiki. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Bukan sekadar mendidik, pelbagai tuntutan kerjaya tidak sepatutnya kini  mereka galas menjadikan tumpuan terhadap proses penjanaan dan  pembelajaran ilmu terjejas.&lt;br /&gt;
Lebih menyedihkan, golongan itu turut  menjadi sasaran kecaman masyarakat jika gagal melahirkan pelajar  cemerlang akademik dan sahsiah diri menyebabkan guru semakin terdesak  serta tertekan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apakah benar peranan guru sebagai sumber  pemangkin ilmu semakin terhakis sebaliknya menjadi golongan itu  diperkotak katikkan hingga mereka dalam dilema.  Pengerusi Kesatuan  Kebangsaan Guru-Guru Lepasan Maktab Semenanjung Malaysia Cawangan Kedah,  Anuar Husin, berkata golongan guru hari ini bukan sekadar memegang  tanggungjawab sebagai pendidik malah anggota masyarakat secara  keseluruhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Menurutnya, cabaran utama bukan lagi menyalurkan  ilmu kepada pelajar sebaliknya turut mendidik masyarakat melalui peranan  di luar waktu persekolahan sekali gus  memberi bebanan  dalam  melaksanakan tumpuan dan tanggungjawab sebenar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Dalam  perguruan, tugas hakiki adalah mengajar, malangnya guru masa kini  dilambakkan dengan pelbagai tanggungjawab sukar dan mencabar. Mereka  bukan sekadar guru tapi turut mendidik masyarakat secara keseluruhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Malangnya  masyarakat bersikap sambil lewa dan enggan bersama memikul  tanggungjawab mendidik menyebabkan mereka semakin tertekan. Guru juga  dihimpunkan pelbagai tugasan tidak sepatutnya seperti  perkeranian.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Justeru,  bagaimana mahu menumpukan  perhatian pada tugasan? Masyarakat hanya  tahu memberi tekanan tapi enggan membantu,&quot; katanya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bukan isu  baru guru terpaksa memikul pelbagai tanggungjawab remeh yang menuntut  pengorbanan masa, antaranya mengurus dan mengemaskini  sistem maklumat  pelajar (Emis), sistem salah laku, pendaftaran, yuran, mengurus kumpulan  wang amanah pelajar miskin (KWAPM), rancangan makanan dan susu  tambahan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Memburukkan keadaan, mereka terpaksa berhempas pulas  menghabiskan sukatan pengajaran kerana dihantar berkursus selain  pembelajaran tergendala.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mengulasnya, Anuar berkata waktu  persekolahan padat serta pelbagai perancangan dibuat menjadikan waktu  guru semakin terhad hingga menyukarkan proses pembelajaran berjalan  lancar.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Sungguhpun tugasan sampingan tidak sukar, banyak waktu terbuang.  Guru sering merungut kerana terlalu terikat dengan pelbagai tuntutan  menyebabkan proses pembelajaran tergendala.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Ia bukan remeh  dan perlu diberi perhatian kerana bersangkut paut pencapaian pelajar  masa depan. Guru sentiasa dipersalahkan jika pelajar gagal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Masyarakat  pula mahukan kecemerlangan tapi enggan memahami. Apabila guru gagal  menyempurnakannya, bukankah akan menimbulkan konflik?  &quot;Tindakan segera  perlu diambil kerana bimbang akan menjejaskan mutu pendidikan  keseluruhannya,&quot; katanya sambil meminta pihak berkenaan mencari  penyelesaian terbaik bagi mengatasi kemelut itu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ditanya  adakah rungutan itu disebabkan guru sudah lama  dalam zon selesa, beliau  berkata golongan itu boleh menerima perubahan namun perlu ada batasan  dan mekanisme tertentu bagi menanganinya.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Guru boleh menerima perubahan malah sedar tanggungjawab dipikul  semakin berat tapi perlu ada tolak ansur. Mereka juga ada tanggungjawab  lain perlu dipenuhi seperti keluarga.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Masyarakat juga harus  memberi sokongan dan bersama menggembleng tanggungjawab. Jangan lepaskan  sepenuhnya pada guru kerana tidak adil,&quot; katanya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bagi  mengatasi kemelut itu,  beliau mencadangkan penyusunan semula tugas  pekeranian sedia ada hingga tidak mengganggu tugas hakiki guru selain  menambah lagi pembantu guru bertaraf kerani.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bilangan pelajar  turut perlu dikurangkan supaya guru tidak terbeban dalam mengemaskini  data peribadi selain menerapkan peranan alumni untuk memberi  pembelajaran berbeza berdasarkan pengalaman pekerjaan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Konflik  perlu diatasi secara berhemah supaya semua pihak mendapat manfaatnya.  Penyelesaian bukan sekadar jangka pendek tapi berpanjangan demi kebaikan  generasi seterusnya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Menjadi guru bukan mudah namun kerjaya  itu sangat mulia, perlu  berlapang dada menerima apa jua cabaran  manakala masyarakat juga jangan bersikap lepas tangan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Proses  penjanaan ilmu tidak akan terhenti, justeru pelbagai pihak perlu  mencari penyelesaian supaya konflik sedia ada dapat diatasi,&quot; katanya.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://any4tho.blogspot.com/feeds/2870450977130502590/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://any4tho.blogspot.com/2010/09/guru-sudah-jadi-kerani-harian-metro-apa.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3292090859420578686/posts/default/2870450977130502590'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3292090859420578686/posts/default/2870450977130502590'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://any4tho.blogspot.com/2010/09/guru-sudah-jadi-kerani-harian-metro-apa.html' title='Guru Sudah Jadi Kerani (Harian Metro), Apa pendapat Anda?'/><author><name>Any4tho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08259439319577502256</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgv-OM9KljSKPgxB-0Pcrsv0_jQDbnIszQvCZO-PWie_aPt1n18LJniBNH4BdeyI6R3nmE40wAz-0NC-5gclHkORej2TOKeAwZZDoYQBIdMmZ6VOy9b9YX_-YSV0pDTFA/s220/DSC01512.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292090859420578686.post-8158728623533146032</id><published>2010-09-29T20:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-29T21:07:18.845-07:00</updated><title type='text'>HOW TO CAPTURE GOOD PICTURE?

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;                        &lt;td&gt;Many of our community members have found it difficult to accurately  comprehend the reasons for refusal when they received the rejection  notification and wondered what to do in order to comply with the  &lt;b&gt;Dreamstime&lt;/b&gt; criteria.&lt;br /&gt;
Given our wish to prevent further disappointment and frustration for our  photographers and illustrators due to refusals, here is a brief, but  hopefully useful set of specific and often encountered reasons backed by  images.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These are mostly technical reasons. Along with them, don&#39;t forget to  keep in mind: - always submit a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dreamstime.com/stockutilities&quot;&gt;model  release&lt;/a&gt; if your image includes people&lt;br /&gt;
- assign as editorial images that are newsworthy or have stock value but  include unremovable logos (i.e. Times Square in New York)&lt;br /&gt;
- avoid submitting images without stock value. Read various sections of  the site and browse its database to see what subjects sell, composition  hints, lighting, etc. Remember you are supposed to &lt;u&gt;make&lt;/u&gt; photos  not just take them!&lt;br /&gt;
- don&#39;t submit images of very common subjects such as flowers or still  life, until you made a proper research of the database AND are able to  submit better quality than the popular images on the same subject&lt;br /&gt;
- be very selective, avoid submitting too many similar images; this will  help you sell at a higher price, avoiding download dillution; you can  submit more similars later, whenever a subject becomes popular. &lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Distorted pixels - Lens problems&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img height=&quot;249&quot; src=&quot;http://www.dreamstime.com/articles/distort-lens.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td with=&quot;20&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td align=&quot;justify&quot; valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;justify&quot; valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;justify&quot; valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td with=&quot;20&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Distorted pixels - Lens fringing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td align=&quot;justify&quot; valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td with=&quot;20&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td with=&quot;20&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&lt;table bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;table bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;justify&quot; valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; I shall first point out a  frequent problem that is mostly related to  the fast development of the digital market. It is the pixel distortion,  generated by a wide set of causes, many of them being of technical  nature, such as cheap sensor, cheap lens, poor lighting condisions that  demand more that the sensor could give, excessive post-processing, also. &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img height=&quot;308&quot; src=&quot;http://www.dreamstime.com/articles/distort-scan.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td with=&quot;20&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td align=&quot;justify&quot; valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td with=&quot;20&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Noise&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;i&gt;I&lt;/i&gt;n order to avoid any misinterpretation of an image as  &quot;interpolated&quot;, scanning the image at the best optical resolution is the  best solution. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td align=&quot;justify&quot; valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; . &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td with=&quot;20&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Low light&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; One other major reason is the noise, mostly related to high iso,  underexposure, long exposures (especially at high iso, restricted) and  over-processing&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;http://www.dreamstime.com/articles/lowlight.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td with=&quot;20&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td align=&quot;justify&quot; valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td with=&quot;20&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;justify&quot; valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;b&gt;Overexposed&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;justify&quot; valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;Another problem is underexposure  and overexposure, respectively.  Fairly easy to correct by finding a medium value of exposure, an average  value, in case the camera does not have automatic exposure control (in  most cases they do). &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img height=&quot;260&quot; src=&quot;http://www.dreamstime.com/articles/overexposed.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td with=&quot;20&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td align=&quot;justify&quot; valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td with=&quot;20&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Poor lighting&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; While still on the lighting issue, the most common problem when  shooting objects and still lifes is the poor light setting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img height=&quot;300&quot; src=&quot;http://www.dreamstime.com/articles/poorlight.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td with=&quot;20&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td align=&quot;justify&quot; valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td with=&quot;20&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;White Balance&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img height=&quot;262&quot; src=&quot;http://www.dreamstime.com/articles/whitebalance.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td with=&quot;20&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td align=&quot;justify&quot; valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td with=&quot;20&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Out of Focus&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;justify&quot; valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; When doing macro, a powerful light set is necessary in order to be  able to shoot at a high speed, as well as a tripod, since one must  prevent any camera or subject movement. Any motion blur could lead to an  &quot;OUT OF FOCUS&quot; refusal. &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img height=&quot;300&quot; src=&quot;http://www.dreamstime.com/articles/outoffocus.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td with=&quot;20&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td align=&quot;justify&quot; valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td with=&quot;20&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Lack of composition &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A major factor in producing a good image, regardless of media, is  the composition. It involves or points out, if not entirely create the  message. Composition is also closely related to concept. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img height=&quot;300&quot; src=&quot;http://www.dreamstime.com/articles/lackcomposition.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td with=&quot;20&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td align=&quot;justify&quot; valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td with=&quot;20&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Over filtered&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
One of the most important steps in image creation is, of course,  the postprocessing. Poor background removal and overfiltering are the  most frequent problems that eventually disqualify an image. Proficient  knowledge of Photoshop, for example, is not in everyone&#39;s reach, and  most users tend to make an image look striking on a thumbnail size, but  when an editor opens the file at 100% and sees all sorts of distortions,  excesses, etc., the image is refused for noise, pixel distortion or  overfiltering, although it had, as a raw file, great sales potential. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;http://www.dreamstime.com/articles/overfiltered.jpg&quot; width=&quot;373&quot; /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td with=&quot;20&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td align=&quot;justify&quot; valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td with=&quot;20&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Poor background removal&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img height=&quot;300&quot; src=&quot;http://www.dreamstime.com/articles/poorbackgroundremoval.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td with=&quot;20&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td align=&quot;justify&quot; valign=&quot;middle&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td with=&quot;20&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
