Announced today Monday, July 26, 2010, owners of iPhone can now legally break electronic locks on their precious phone in order to download software apps from third party sources not approved Apple.

The decision to allow the practice commonly known as “jailbreaking” is one of a handful of new exemptions from a 1998 federal law that prohibits people from bypassing technical measures that companies put on their products to prevent unauthorized uses. The Library of Congress, which oversees the Copyright Office, reviews and authorizes exemptions every three years to ensure that the law does not prevent certain non-infringing use of copyright-protected material.

Taken with my Canon Rebel XS 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera with Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS SLR Lens, in Aperture Priority Mode set at F/5.6 at 43mm using ISO 100. With my Aperture set at F/5.6, the camera automatically set the Shutter Speed to 1/13 of a second, which cause this spinning colorful windmills to look blurry. A slow shutter speed are selected to show the motion or movement in a still photograph of a moving subject, while a fast shutter speed can cause a moving subject to appear frozen.

Also with the help of image stabilization i was able to use take this photo even at a slow shutter speed of 1/13.

Photography taught me to look at life in a different way.

I admit it, I’m hooked, this photography thing is really something. Day after day, I want to see more, I want to shoot more, and now I can see things that I would have not seen in the past.

Then only thing I can tell you now is, “Just keep on shooting and enjoy what you are shooting”.

In photography it is important to learn to use the available light, if we take time to learn to see the light and the direction of light we can create images in our own mind before we even take the picture.
