The problem some are beginning to discover is that these cameras that look okay on small TV screens don't look good at all on big screens. Grainy shots, mismatched colors, insufficient lenses for the distance and lighting - all these factors contribute to the problem. That's why churches that are looking for excellence in their media ministry are beginning to look at professional cameras today the way they looked at projectors a decade ago. With prices on higher-quality cameras inching down every year, good cameras are not just for the largest churches anymore. It won't be long before cameras are as common as projectors in churches.

If you're beginning to consider cameras for your church, where do you start? The camera itself is actually the last thing to investigate. Just like with projectors, you have to understand your purpose and how your room conditions affect your needs before you try to meet these needs.

The very first thing that you have got to do is ask the question "why?" Is the camera strictly for recording? Is the recording for distribution to church members or just shut-ins? Do we want the camera images on the screen in the main sanctuary? Do we want to stream our services on the web or by podcast? Are we looking for all of the above? One particular camera or camera type can be the right choice or a very wrong choice depending on the answers to these questions.

Of all your room conditions, light is the most important one to take into account. The camera "sees" differently than the human eye. The greatest camera/lens combination in the world is still going to be limited by the available lighting. For example, the best possible lighting scenario for IMAG should have a variety of light fixtures (using different colored "gels") covering the stage so that they combine to give the closest approximation of true white light. You need different colors to get skin tones that are accurate and pleasant, as well as true color reproduction of the scene.

Next, camera placement is an issue that a lot of churches struggle with. "Can we put cameras where they are not going to be a distraction to worship?" There are basically three options to address this dilemma, each with definite pros and cons:

Option 1: The choice that gives you the best performance for the lowest price is to place manned camera stations in the midst of the room. The downside is that the camera equipment and operators are going to be visible to the congregation. It's often a major distraction at first, but we typically find that after a few weeks no one seems to notice anymore. Each church will have to decide for themselves if this is a good option.

Option 2: The second option is to place the cameras at the back of the room. How far away will the camera be from the scene it is trying to capture? Perhaps more appropriately, how close can the camera be to the scene? To place cameras 100' away from the stage and capture a tight head and shoulders shot is not possible without spending a great deal of money. You'll need a large lens capable of reaching that far, which requires a camera that can work with that lens. Not every church will have a budget for the kind of camera equipment necessary to pull this off.

Option 3: Robotic cameras are the third option. These cameras don't need a person standing next to it to control its movement. These cameras were originally used strictly for high-tech security, but recent advances in technology and function make them a viable option for some churches who need to get closer to the stage without a huge camera. To find out more about robotic options, check out this month's VISUAL AIDS.

An exciting development in video recently is the advent of High-Definition or HD video cameras. Up till now the cost of HD cameras has been prohibitive, to say the least. However, new cameras on the market bring the visual quality of HD at least within sight of, if not within, the budgets of many ministries. So, when looking at a camera system for a church, Standard Definition vs. High Definition is a topic that definitely needs to be addressed. It is important to note that just going with HD cameras does not make the system HD. Every component along the way has to be capable of dealing with the high-def signal for the system to be considered truly HD. However, it can be a good idea to start with HD cameras and upgrade the rest of your system over time.

It will save you a lot of time and trouble in re-budgeting and re-convincing people if you prepare your decision makers for these issues before you even begin to shop for a camera. When you've done this part of the work, now it's time to decide which cameras are right for you and how many you will need. That's where Fowler comes in. We've already done research on a number of cameras, some of which are designed for the needs of churches. If you need help sifting through some of the initial issues, we can do that, too.

How Do You Clean a Contact Lens?

Wearing and caring for contact lenses can seem a bit daunting to a new wearer, but the actual routine is fairly simple with the right approach. Your eye doctor will most likely give you a set of instructions and products that you can utilize to keep your contacts in working order. Keeping contacts moisturized and sterile however will take a multi pronged approach that you will have to incorporate into your daily life. As ambitious this sounds, it won't be difficult to do once you understand the basic ways in which contact hygiene is achieved.

Lens cleansers and solutions

Be sure to wash your hands with an unscented soap and pat dry with a towel, preferable one free of dyes.

Upon removing contact lenses, place the lens in the center of your palm and place a few drops of cleanser or solution onto it. With some formulas you will need to rub the lenses for about thirty seconds to affect a thorough cleansing. With no rub formulas all you have to do is swish the contact in your palm a bit. When done, place the contact in your lens case and fill the individual holders with the contact solution for overnight soaking.

The cleaner will remove the protein that has built up on the lens during day and night time wear.

Eye drops

Throughout the day contacts can get dry--if ignored, this can cause serious problems and may even attract dirt and particles that irritate the eye. To avoid this, one should use eye drops that are specially formulated for the contacts. Not only does this keep the contact from drying out, it flushes any debris that the lenses may have inadvertently attracted.

It is very important to make sure that the eyewash you acquire is suited for contacts. Regular eye drops, while they can be soothing, may not be able to remove the protein that can build up over the eye. This protein can make your vision a bit blurry affecting your sight.

Follow the instructions on the eye drop container and try to use only when needed.

Blinking

Believe it or not, simple blinking does its part to keep the contact lens clean. This auto response is already largely responsible for keeping 99.9 percent of all air contaminates away from the delicate eye, and thus, once a contact is introduced, it continues its protection to this new invader.

This is perhaps why it takes a while for an individual to learn how to properly seat a lens. The eye is used to attempting to keep foreign items out, so it may blink more as you try to place the contact. It could take quite a few tries to get the eye to accept that you are voluntarily placing an object onto your eye, so do not get discouraged as you learn to use these helpful devices.

Why cleanliness maintenance is important

Contact lenses are wonderful vision correction tools, but if you don't take care of them like you should you can cause damage to your eye. The most likely issue is an eye infection, which can be caused by foreign bacteria's being introduced to the eye. If left unchecked, the infection can cause serious problems and threaten your sight.

These issues are often annihilated by proper care and observed hygiene.

Keeping your contacts in tip top shape

By following a few simple guidelines you will be able to wear contacts comfortably and safely for years to come. Your routine will then become second nature, an extension of your daily habits, which will allow you to keep your contacts as well as your vision, in pristine condition.

Suggest me the right lens for NIKON with large aperture?

Hello friends,

I'm a digital photography enthusiast. Recently I've bought my first DS LR Nikon D 5000, with kit Lens.
Now, I want to buy another prime Lens with large aperture (f/1.4 or 1.8) as am particularly interested in taking photos with nice Bokeh effect or shallow DOF.

I need Nikon compatible Lens with auto focus ability, & also within a reasonable price range.

Please suggest me the right kind from NIKKOR, SIGMA or TOKINA.

Thank you

Only Nikon AF-S lenses like the AF-S 50mm f1.4, AF-S 35mm f1.8 and AF-S 24mm f1.4 will auto focus on your D5000.

Sigma has a 50mm f1.4 that will auto focus on your D5000 but it costs more than the Nikon AF-S 50mm f1.4. ($499.00 vs. $439.95 at http://www.bhphotovideo.com ).

Buy the Nikon AF-S 50mm f1.4 lens.
