Photography -Make ur life colourful

Hi everyone
Photography is my hobby and a small thing i would like to share to take great pictures or you can say nice pictures. It need not be that everyone likes it the way one takes it. It is one's way of understanding things and presenting it to himself or to the world.
When you are about to take a picture just imagine what you want to take, how it should look like. Imagine the image you are going to get, it is then you get your actual image on the camera. People say we need to see all the setting aperture, focus and so on, it plays a small role in understading the way to get the output. Once you have an image in our mind automatically you will get the setting what you need to make on the camera to get the output on to the real world.
This is the first and the last rule that i have learnt from the people who take great/worst pictures what ever.
Hope this helps.

English Tip # 1

-ize or -ise
Many people in the UK believe that words ending in “-ize” such as “organize” are US spellings, and that the correct spelling is “organise”. However, the Oxford University Press insists that words such as computerize, capitalize, capsize, organize, organization, privatize, publicize, realize should take the -ize ending, but that others, eg analyse, advertise, advise, arise, compromise, disguise, despise, enterprise, exercise, merchandise, revise, supervise, surprise should take the -ise ending.
In the Concise Oxford Dictionary you will often find that both options are possible in British English - 'realise' or 'realize', 'organise' or 'organize' - whilst for other entries -ize is listed as unmistakably American, e.g. . 'analyse' = British English, 'analyze' = American English
Here's a checklist you can use:
Noun and verb: Where the noun and verb are the same (like “exercise”), use -ise.
Pronounciation: Anything that doesn't sound like “-eyes” uses -ise, such as “promise”.
Stem: Where the stem word (usually Latin or Greek) ends in “is”, then use -ise, as in vis (to see) gives “televise”.
Anything else: Use -ize.

Journey of LIFE

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!

A Woman sitting and think:

First thought come in her mind………
A homemaker, That’s one of my labels. But it’s easy to feel inadequate. I want so much more than to be a homemaker. I run our home; it would be unmade without me. My impossible dream is for my family to respect my abilities beyond those of homemaker. I would still be a homemaker, but that would not be the reason that they loved me.

Second thoughts come in her mind…….
My life would be like I spent more of my time and energy focused on learning new and better ways to run my household to save my time as well as money. And how about making my home a place where my family enjoys spending time together?

Third thoughts come in her mind……..
I should be open to new ideas, read books on topics that interest mine, and share ideas with like-minded people. I never let precious time slip away from me. The information is all around me if i just open myrself up to it.

Whats thoughts come in your mind when u sitting alone……
You'll be surprised at your new zest for life and the ideas that will start coming into your mind effortlessly.

Modern mothers

Some modern women are embracing the role of full-time parent. Most of these women have left the paid workforce so that they can raise their children, particularly through their early years before entering kindergarten. There is considerable variability within the "stay-at-home" mom population with regard to their intent to return to the paid workforce. Some work from their home, some do part-time work, some intend to return to part or full time work when their children are in school, and others may never return to the paid workplace. Similarly, there is considerable variation in the "stay-at-home" mom's attitude towards domestic work not related to caring for children.
Some may embrace a traditional role of "housewife," where the woman cooks and cleans in addition to caring for children. But many perfect homemakers see their primary role as that of child-care providers -- supporting their children's physical, intellectual, and emotional development. These homemakers can be found in cooperative preschools and volunteering in numerous community organizations. Other aspects of home care (shopping, cooking, cleaning, yard work, home repairs, money managing) is shared equally with their husbands or partners.
