Tips on bird photography
Spring or autumn?
Birds keep migrating depending upon seasons. If you are looking for
birds during the spring diaspora, take out your camera that very
season! Catch some real family bonding between birds- birds mating, or
adults tending to offsprings. Get some real nest views on tree-tops.
They start migrating towards the south as Autumn starts, and another
entirely new flock starts back towards your countryside as summer
lapses and winter begins.
Be an early bird to catch the bird!
Shoot early in the morning preferably within three hours after sunrise.
The rays will still be mellow giving you delicate hues in the
photograph. A little while before sunset is another ideal time for your
photography. Get the birds in the best of moods during these hours of
the day.
Windows 7 Wallpaper Slideshow
A long time ago, we introduced you to John’s Background Switcher
right here in the Worldstart Computer Tips Newsletter. As you’ll
remember, the program allowed you to set a group of photos to rotate as
your desktop background so that you won’t get the same boring wallpaper
every time you look at your desktop. Microsoft has now decided to
implement the same idea in Windows 7! The best part is, you can get
started right now, as there are some ‘wallpaper slideshows' already
included in your copy of Windows 7.
To get started, go back to your desktop and right-click your mouse. Hit Personalize
and a window will pop up. Scroll down to Aero Themes and choose one of
the themes with more than one picture above the theme name – for
example, the Landscapes theme in the screenshot below.
The Speedy Contact
Lookup
Need to find a contact's
information in MS Outlook now, now, now?!?
Or maybe you just
don't feel like the effort and time it takes to switch to your contacts,
choose someone then open up their information to find what you need
Either way, a time
crunch or just looking for an easier way to access the information, I've
got what you need to make your day just a tiny bit easier.
We start with our
Outlook toolbar. You're looking for the field next to the address book
button.
It happens, we have
our Windows installation disks, but the product key is nowhere to be
found! Usually it's located on a sticker stuck somewhere on our
computer case, but what do you do in those other instances? Panic?
Must... Have... Control!
(Picture note: I keep my taskbar at the top of my screen, so that's why the screen shots look like
they are coming from the wrong direction.)
Do you use your control panel in Windows XP a lot? Are you the
kind of person who is constantly "adjusting" things? Well, if you
are, then you and I have a lot in common. Here's a tip that will
save us both some time.
Rather than clicking Start>Settings>Control Panel and then
hunting for the appropriate icon in the control panel folder, why
not put a cascading control panel right on your Start menu? Then,
you just click Start, Control Panel, and select the appropriate
utility from a menu. Much faster and much neater.
Here's how :
1. Right-click the Start button and go to
Properties .
A Little "Nudge"
in MS PowerPoint
We all know that with
an object selected (such as a shape, picture, textbox, etc ) you
can use the arrow keys in PowerPoint to nudge them around the slide.
Basically, the amount
of movement you get depends upon the grid size setting. The larger the
grid spacing is set to be the bigger the nudge the arrow keys will give
your object.
But what about the
times when the arrow key nudges are still too big?
A Quicker Scroll
Sure,
Worldstart has tips to assist you in scrolling, but have you ever
accidentally pushed down on your mouse's scroll wheel like a button?
What happened?
Did you see something like this?
