Photography 101 Eric Kim a Gift to You PHOTOGRAPHY 101 ERIC KIM A GIFT TO YOU Dear friend, I wanted to write you this book on how to take better photos. I know you started off with your iPhone, and started to show keen interest on making better images. I taught you the “rule of thirds” and other basics; but now it is time for you to take your photography to the next level. So consider this a handbook or a manual of sorts; for you only. I am also writing this book in hope that other people (similar to you, still relatively new in photography and wanting to learn more) will find it helpful as well. Always, Eric Dec 5, 2015 i 1 PHOTOGRAPHY EQUIPMENT WHAT CAMERA SHOUD I BUY? I wanted to have more manual controls. I wanted to do things like control my shutter speed, and also aperture (which is how much light the lens allows in, which also controls “depth-of-field”— which To start off, one of the first things on your mind is probably “what is how blurry the background is when you shoot (also called camera should I buy?” “bokeh”). Let me be honest with you— I regret spending so much time, effort, At the time, Flickr was still relatively new, Instagram wasn’t around, (and especially money) on all the gear and cameras and lenses I ac- Facebook was still in its infancy. The only way to share photos was cumulated over the years. They call it “Gear Acquisition Syndrome” either Flickr, photography forums (I was part of the “Black and White (G.A.S. is a fun acronym) in which we become dissatisfied with our Vision” forum on FredMiranda.com), and creating your own “Photog- photography, and hope that by upgrading our camera (or getting raphy Blog.” So the interesting thing was at the time, my photos had the newest and shiny camera) will help “inspire us.” very limited reach. I would say I was a lot happier in this phase, First of all, let me share my personal story with you: when I just had my simple point-and-shoot camera, had it constantly with me in my front pocket, and just documented my everyday life. I started off similar to you; I was 18 years old, had a keen interest in photography, and for my high school graduation present, got a Then of course, I discovered the “gear forums” where I wanted to Canon point-and-shoot camera for my college present from my learn what was the “best” bang-for-the-buck camera (that had a de- mom.

  • Innovation and Recurring Shifts in Industrial Leadership: Three Phases of Change and Persistence in the Camera Industry*
    Innovation and Recurring Shifts in Industrial Leadership: Three Phases of Change and Persistence in the Camera Industry* Hyo Kang† Jaeyong Song‡ Forthcoming in Research Policy 46(2), 2017 Abstract This study examines factors underlying three phases of change/persistence in industrial leadership in the segment of interchangeable-lens cameras over the past century. During this period there were two major phases of leadership change, both associated with the emergence of innovations involving major discontinuities in the industry’s core technologies. First, Japan won market leadership from Germany in the mid-1960s after commercializing the single-lens reflex (SLR) camera that replaced the previously dominant German rangefinder camera. Second, in the late-2000s, Japanese latecomer firms and a Korean firm developed Mirrorless cameras, which allowed them to capture the majority of market shares from the incumbent Japanese leaders. We also examine the long period (about 60 years) between these two phases of change, during which leading Japanese firms were able to sustain their market leadership despite the digital revolution from the 1980s to 1990s. This paper explores the factors influencing these contrasting experiences of change and persistence in industry leadership. The analysis integrates several aspects of sectoral innovation systems – i.e., windows of opportunity associated with technology, demand, and institution – as well as the strategies of incumbents and latecomer firms. The conclusions highlight the complex and diverse combinations and importance of the factors that help explain the patterns of leadership shift. Keywords: catch-up cycle; industrial leadership; innovation; interchangeable-lens camera JEL: N70, L63, O33 * This research has been supported by the Center for Global Business and Research, Seoul National University.

Different digital sensors installed in the payload allow to acquire high resolution frame images. Furthermore a GPS/INS unit will enable an automated navigation (except take-off and landing). The project is supported by ITHACA (Information Technology for Humanitarian Assistance, Cooperation and Action), an association founded by Politecnico di Torino and SiTI (Istituto Superiore sui Sistemi Territoriali per l’Innovazione) in cooperation with WFP (World Food Programme) and some private and public organisms, with the main goal to carry on operational and research activities in the field of geomatics for analysis, evaluation and mitigation of natural and manmade hazards. The main technical features of the UAV and the on-board payload are detailed described in the first part of the paper. Furthermore first results of stereopairs orientation, case studies and further developments are presented.
