New Year


Finally the malware is removed from my homepage and a new site is established for my website. What a great news.


Voigtlander has been my favorite for last few months. The beauty of this brand carries that history and its unique image rendering. Bokeh is of low contrast. Images tend to pop. It is quite addictive using voigtlander brand.


Given the problem of my site over the past few months, I will update quite a number of images trailing the journey I had from voigtlander lenses.


Taken by Voigtlander 90mm f3.5 Apo Lanthar




There is a severe thunder storm last night. Thus a very poor internet adsl connection all day today. I will update more images in the next post :)

Classic Car by Olympus 7-14mm f4


For the past month, I had been waiting for my 3 website relocation to another server. However, the progress has been very slow.


I had done quite a bit photographically. Extensive research into range finder lenses and olympus gear have been quite impressive.


Olympus 7-14mm f4 is really an amazing feat of optical triumph. How is this possible to have 7mm to be cropped to a 2X crop factor sensor? Simply amazing. I love the lens and I love the image from this lens.


Here is one of the shot that I like to share with everyone. The image has that retro look about it and it was captured in the middle of Melbourne Street during red traffic light!

Tidal River at Wilson Prom by Pentax Da 15mm f4 li


I have taken a lot of images in wilson prom. However, there are a few locations worthwhile to take photos from.


This region somehow has this unusual phenomenon where this tiny creek was suddenly widden due to the recent rain. 


This image is taken by this tiny pancake lens. Good for travel and landscape photography.


 


I still missed the view from that day where the air was so fresh and the beach is so sparklingly white.

Kodak Sensor - image by Olympus 50mm f2 macro


Kodak Sensor


The Kodak image sensor has a long history of being a solid performer in the world of cameras and photography. The thing about Kodak is that they have more than one type of image sensor on the market. With various CMOS and CCD image sensors that they produce, the company is well known as leaders in the image sensor area. Recently, in fact, they've shown great promise at coming up with image sensors that are two to three times more sensitive to light. As you know, the more sensitive an image sensor, the more clear the resulting photo is going to be.


Kodak CMOS Sensors


Kodak makes a few different CMOS image sensors that require little energy while still capturing quite an array of information about a scene. Kodak sensors of this type are generally used in small digital cameras. On the plus side, this makes the cameras less expensive to buy. You will pay some with resulting picture quality in some circumstances, but for most people, the difference won't be noticeable. For this reason, a Kodak CMOS sensor is a good option. You may have other needs when it comes to photography, however.


Kodak CCD Sensors


Kodak sensors also are available in CCD format. Used more for digital SLR cameras and more advanced applications, the CCD Kodak sensor is well known for being sensitive enough to allow for great looking photographs that are true to the reality of the scene being captured. Full frame CCD Kodak sensors can capture less noise, resulting in better photographs. The difference may be negligible. Rather than get into a long, ugly debate, just know that Kodak CCD sensors are designed and work well.


Which Kodak Sensor for You?


This question invariable comes up when you're talking about Kodak image sensors. They make quite a few and sometimes it's difficult to know which one to choose. The best advice is to know a little about the different types of image sensors they offer and then look at the types of photographs that you take. By having knowledge about these two things, you can quickly come to a decision about which Kodak sensor is best for you and your particular needs.


For some people the small CCD sensor's portability will be the best thing. For others, the larger CMOS Kodak sensor that takes more information with each photograph may be the best. Whatever you choose, you know you're working with a company that knows cameras and image sensors. Kodak has been around since the beginning of photography, and they're still on the forefront today. With Kodak image sensor technology powering quite a few digital cameras on the market, there's a good chance you may have used one without knowing it.


For some photographers (professional and amateur), there's really no other sensor beyond a Kodak sensor. Not everyone is that dedicated to these sensors, but there's a reason some people are. If you are looking for a camera that consistently takes a good picture, there are various Kodak image sensors in different cameras that may be just what you are looking for in a digital camera.
