Sony 3D Camera – Best Features Review

No Comments



The best thing when buying a 3D Sony camera is that you do not have to be a professional photographer to use it, or produce great pictures.

The first feature in this Sony 3D feature review is the 3D panorama capability of the Sony Cyber Shot! This capability made it a 3D camera, without this feature theTX9 would have been a very good 2D digital camera.

Because the camera has only one lens, unlike the Fujifilm 3D W3 Camera which has two lenses, the only way it can produce a 3D image is when it takes short panoramic clips.

What happens when you press the Sony TX9 button and sweep the camera sideways in a panoramic motion, is that it will record thousands of frames each sees your object in a slightly different angle. The Sony processor takes all those images and combines them together digitally as 3D clips.

The second feature you may probably love in the Sony TX9 is the back LCD screen that is capable to show you all the 3D clips, in bright vivid colors crystal clear. But what will knock all your friends is that they will see them selves in 3D and without the need for special 3D glasses.

This feature promises the person holding the Sony 3D camera to be the center of the party, as everyone will want to gather and see 3D live without any 3D glasses (nor active and nor red and blue glasses).

Those features make the TX9 a fun 3D camera, and puts Sony up front of the 3D technology leaders. Other features you will find in the Sony TX9 are features they have in their 2D cameras too. Those are photo modes which makes the Sony a flashy gadget able to help any one take the best pictures.

The Sony ‘Smile Shutter’ technology is a sneaky little mode that enables you to bypass the most frustration feelings in picture taking. The feeling you point at a smiling friend or child, you imagine you get a great shot, with a wide smile, only to see after you press the button that you just missed it by a fraction of a second only to capture a dull face with a blank look on it.

Well forget all about that! The new Sony TX9 Camera Smile Shutter technology that captures a smile the moment it happens.

Before you chose the Sony TX9 as your new 3D camera, see all the features and price options and discounts available for it.

Book Review – 'Why Marriages Succeed or Fail And How To Make Yours Last' By Dr John Gottman

No Comments



Dr. John Gottman says: ‘If there is one lesson I have learned from my years of research it is that a lasting marriage results from a couple’s ability to resolve the conflicts that are inevitable in any relationship’. The following book is not just a couples therapist’s opinion but a compilation of the findings of the work of a relationship expert and scientist who researched his topic over the past 40 years.

Summary

In this book, Dr. John Gottman gives his readers the ability to find out more about their relationship through self-tests and evaluations. Beyond that this book also provides practical exercises, quizzes, tips, techniques and proven strategies to improve your relationship or marriage.

More in details

Based on his years of research with real-life couples, Dr. John Gottman first answers the question ‘What makes marriage work?’ By reading this book you will learn that there are significantly different marriage styles, which he calls ‘The Good, The Bad and the Volatile’ and that frequent arguing doesn’t necessarily have to lead to divorce if other factors are in balance.

Dr. John Gottman is famous for ‘The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse’, the warning signs in every relationship tumbling towards martial disaster. Dr. Gottman argues that these pitfalls – criticism, defensiveness, contempt and stonewalling – can be observed in couples who are moving towards less and less satisfaction in their relationship.

This book is not just another set of opinions of a relationship therapist, instead this is the result of his work with thousands of couples over many years of empirical study. This research has enabled Dr. Gottman to predict which couples relationships will last with 94 percent accuracy where normal relationship experts are only able to predict this in 10 percent of their cases.

About the author

As mentioned above Dr. John Gottman has collected significant amounts of data researching couples in what he calls ‘The Love Lab’. He has also written and co-authored 40 books and published 190 academic articles. He has appeared on television in shows like Good Morning America, Today, CBS Morning News and Oprah and published some of his work in various publications like The New York Times, Women’s Day, Reader’s Digest and Psychology Today, just to name a few.

Together with his wife, Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman, they founded the Gottman Relationship Institute; they schedule appointments for marathon therapy and lead relationship workshops.

Recommendation

This is a ‘must read’ if you are interested to improve your relationship and really, who doesn’t? The best case would be if both, husband and wife, would read the book, but it is already very beneficial for one to read and introduce the concepts to the other.

Personally John Gottman’s work forms the basis of my work with couple clients in my practice and his concepts work with great success.

A Twilight Movie Review

No Comments



Twilight movie is one of the latest movies which have its theme based on the book that was written by Stephanie Meyer who is also featured in the same movie. It was actually released in the Philippines way back in November of 2009 and it stars such movie stars as Robert Pattison as Edward and Kristen steward who is featured as Bella. Since its production it has been doing quite well as its casting is cool enough that one can easily derive the theme and meaning of the movie.

Different from the Edward(main vampire character) presented in the book who appears to be confident, perfect and cool at all the times, Edward in the movie is quite anxious and appears uncomfortable at all times. But as the movie continues, he seems to be moved closer to Bella simply because of her behavior through the film. Based on the fact that Edward is handsome, this gives him the advantage of moving even closer to meeting the woman he has always been dreaming of.

Despite the point that Edward is a vampire, this did not actually stop Bella from falling in love with him, something that most people will be intrigued with when watching the movie. In a normal situation, you will realize that once an individual come to learn about the evil deeds practiced by the person you love, their relationship will come to an abrupt end, but the producer of this film/ tackles this differently. Bella still dreams of Edward every night despite having learned about his impureness and so many other evil deeds.

The producer of the twilight movie also uses the music throughout the movie very well. The provision of lullaby songs for Bella is absolutely amazing as it adds to the uniqueness in the film production from other common movie making. The producer of this great movie uses two very important aspect of styles; suspense and romance which eventually bring out the quality production which makes one great movie that you will never want to miss. Therefore in case you really want to enhance all that you have been reading in the twilight book, then you should actually watch this great movie produced by a renowned producer from the Philippine movie style. Watching the Twilight movie will always make you want to watch more from this great producer as it pushes you to the edge of your seat. New Moon(Twilight 2) has also released and promises to continue where this original film leaves off.
