![]() Thinking it’s the end of the world if you don’t have a date on a Saturday night. The ego makes you overanalyze certain situations. Now, we don’t have as much use for it but it still manifests itself in many ways. We evolved to have an ego to keep us on our toes so that we wouldn’t be eaten by whatever large prey was lurking around the rock. (Sorry if that’s a hard pill to swallow!) You have to be aware of other people and your surroundings. But it doesn’t matter any more than anyone else. One way to see the big picture is to get over your ego. It would’ve been a painting of a beautiful sky but would’ve likely never reached the famous status it holds today. Had he got swept away in every single stroke, obsessing over making each perfect, he could’ve taken up the whole canvas without ever painting the city below. I imagine the brush strokes on Vincent Van Goghs paintbrush as he painted Starry Night. Even for people who it may come naturally to, sometimes we still lose the ability to step back and see where we are going, what we are doing, and why due to the ebb and flow of regular life. ![]() When we are focused on all of the small details, it’s easy to lose focus. If you’re like me, a detail-oriented person, seeing the bigger picture might not come easily to you. It will allow you the space to figure out where you can improve, figure out what really matters in your life, and will allow you the opportunity to find purpose and meaning. Looking at the bigger picture will give you a new perspective. ![]() (I wasn’t doing myself any favors with that kind of thinking – was I?) Or there's the lo-fi solution pioneered by Instagram and apps like Snapseed that overlay filter upon filter until the photographic shortcomings have been eradicated or sufficiently disguised to appear intentional.My self-proclaimed weakness has always been the inability to see the bigger picture. However, technology can ‘cover the cracks" as it were one of the standout features of the latest BlackBerry handsets is their ability to take photo bursts and overlay the individual images on top of each other to make one ‘perfect' composite image of the subject. He also points out that a lot of the success that companies such as Olympus have had in this area is due to R and D in microscopy and medical research as well as through working with photographers. That's why interchangeable lens cameras offer the best picture quality too: their lenses are designed to catch the maximum of light and details whatever the conditions," says Pézeron. "Lens quality will always be an issue because beyond the sensor and other cutting-edge technologies photography is firstly a matter of light passing perfectly through a lens. And while both technologies will reduce ‘noise' - those random pixels of color that come from longer exposures - it is a problem that will never be fully resolved until smartphones feature interchangeable lenses. In both cases the technology is designed to make every captured megapixel count, especially in low light conditions, such as nightclubs where smartphones are at a serious disadvantage compared with ‘traditional' digital cameras. Calling this layering effect ‘Ultrapixels', the technology will be one of the key features of its upcoming HTC M7 handset, which could make an appearance at this year's Mobile World Congress. To increase quality without increasing handset thickness, HTC's approach is to overlay a number of smaller 4.3 megapixel sensors on top of each other to achieve the same effect. ![]() The importance of the image sensor and camera lens Yet, they have the same 12 megapixel resolution." ![]() As Arnaud Pézeron, marketing director for Olympus in France, explains: "For this reason, a 12-megapixel sensor in a smartphone will never reach the quality of a 12 megapixel sensor in a DSLR or hybrid camera. One of the reasons professional DSLR digital cameras are still so huge is because the image sensor they use is equally large. The image sensor and the camera lens are both much more important indicators, especially for someone who wants to surf the net, play the latest games, make voice calls and replace their digital camera at the same time. But megapixels are just one element of the image equation. For example, the iPhone boasts an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, as does its arch rival, the Samsung Galaxy SIII. Nokia has confirmed, albeit unofficially, that its next Windows Phone will feature a 41-megapixel sensor, while HTC has announced that henceforth it is doing away with the concept of megapixels altogether in favor of what it calls Ultrapixels, but what neither company has been quick to explain is what this means to the average consumer in the market for a smartphone with better than average photo-taking abilities.Īt the moment, a smartphone's photography credentials are measured by its megapixels. ![]()
