Buying a Scanner

Scanner

1. HP Scanjet G3110 Photo Scanner

2. specifications click here. there are too many.

3. DPi = up too 4800 DPi

DPi (dots per inch) refers to the resolution. the more dots the higher the resolution.

Resolution = 216 x 297 mm

The resolution refers to the amount of information per DPi (dots per inch), that the scanner can read. The more dots the higher the resolution.

Colour depth = 48bit

The Colour depth also known as the Bit Depth is the amout of information the scanner gets, the higher it is the more colours get used and it looks better. Most scanners have a 24 bit depth.

It doesnt say where this type of person would work, but im assuming in a office, because you need a computer to do your work, obviously.

You can get formal training a MSCS or MSCS. But you dont have too, you dont need experience but can start by developing small compenents or pieces of web applications. The more training you have the better.

Buying a Digital Camera

1. I already have two digital cameras. A Pentax K100D and a Mju Tough 8010 (olympus). I use the Pentax and Olympus for professional shots and i also own a Flickr and Tumblr account. Which i sometimes share photos using these websites. The Olympus camera is waterproof so i can take underwater shots.
I want a camera that takes high quality pictures and are easy to use.

2.The website doesnt tell you what resolution to look for...

3. The link doesnt work...

4. Instead of finding two digital cameras, i have decided to comparing film and digital cameras.
In my opinion film has a better look once developed. Film is more expensive, you need to buy the film for the camera costing around $10 for 36 exposures, 35 mm. Developing it costs around $10 for one roll.

Example of a Film Camera

Digital there is an unlimited amount of shots depending on how big your memory card it, but for 4 gb memory card you can take around 300 shots. Also the developing is much cheaper, you can print these photos for are 15 cents each. Also digital cameras allow you to view the photos on the computer, making it easier to edit it using PhotoShop etc. 

Digital cameras are excellent in every way, but i prefer film because of the quality once developed. Some people may say that film takes "crap" photots because it looks grainy or un-clear, but thats the effect that i like.

5. A card reader is a device used to quickly transfer photos/videos from your camera, instead of plugging in you camera into your computer using cords. Card readers make it easier, putting the card into your USB hole.

ANIMATION

this is my animation :) enjoy.

InkScape Extension

i have chosen to make the eyeball. here it is.

Assessment Leson Five

This lesson i have already completed all the frams on the weekend. i have made 166 frames, which are no longer transparent, i have also resized them all using the Paint program. Making it 500 x 226 pixels. I have also finished putting all the sides onto Windows Live Movie Maker and the frame rate is 0.16 sec per frame. Choosing this frame rate makes the animation neither too slow or too fast. It was quite hard choosing how fast to make the frame rate, i didnt want it to be too fast becasue people would not know what the stroyline is. But making it too slow would look to edgy and jerky. I am finished, am im now uploading onto my blog.
