Nikon COOLPIX L830 review The Nikon Coolpix L830 represents the new pinnacle of Nikon’s budget-conscious, easy to use Coolpix L-series. Considering its relatively attractive price of £229.99 / $299.95 / €279, you get a lot of bang for your buck. Headline specs are its 34x zoom lens, giving a very useful focal length range of 22.5-765mm (in 35mm camera terms). To ensure sharp shots at such long focal lengths, the L830 also utilises Nikon’s Hybrid Vibration Reduction system. At the heart of the camera is a 16.0-megapixel CMOS sensor capable of a maximum ISO3200 sensitivity and Full HD video capture. Externally the most notable new feature is a high-resolution, 921k-dot monitor which can be tilted up and down. The Nikon Coolpix L830 also follows the L-series trend of being powered by AA batteries. The Nikon COOLPIX L830 is a budget bridge super-zoom. Its DSLR-styled body is light and compact - a step down in scale from the mid and higher end P-range super-zooms. Launched in Janua...

The Harris shutter is a simple device which consists of a three-color filter strip. It was devised by Robert S. Harris of Kodak, for making color photographs with the different primary color layers exposed in separate time intervals in succession. The Harris shutter also means the technique applied to give a photograph a rainbow effect, which is produced by re-exposing the same frame of film through red, green and blue filters in turn, while keeping the camera steady. The Harris shutter generates a rainbow of color around the photographic subject. Clouds hanging over a landscape, waterfalls, or a flickering flame, make good subjects for applying the Harris shutter tecnique. When capturing an image with a Harris shutter effect, the camera must be kept steady.The process has become a lot simpler with the arrival of digital photography. The photographer simply takes three color photographs on location, and then use software to take the Red channel from one exposure, combine with the blue ...
