Sometimes, however, a cookie may remember something you'd rather it didn't, or even become corrupted, resulting in a browsing experience that's less than enjoyable. This is when deleting cookies may be a good idea.
You might also want to delete cookies if you're experiencing issues like 500 Internal Server or 502 Bad Gateway errors (among others) which are sometimes indications that the one or more cookies for a particular site are corrupted and should be removed.

Whether for computer issue, privacy, or another reason, clearing cookies is a pretty simple task in any popular browser.
You can usually delete cookies from the Privacy or History area, available from the Settings or Options menu in the browser. In most browsers, the same menu can be reached through the Ctrl+Shift+Del keyboard shortcut.
The steps involved in deleting cookies differ considerably depending on what web browser we're talking about.

Below are some browser-specific cookie clearing tutorials.

REG BLOGGING---IMP.---Use FB AND TWEETER...21-10-16

When it comes to putting yourself out on social media it’s easy to disappear in the crowd, because so many people are trying to do the same! But understanding how social media works can be a fantastic way to spread awareness of your website, so we’ve compiled some advice to help you do just that.

 he first and best advice when you’re just starting out on social media is that you can’t tell people about your website too often. Almost 3 billion people use the internet, so there’s always someone who hasn’t heard about you yet. 

We’re going to talk about the two most used social media sites and provide some general advice to get more visitors to your own website. The two sites, Facebook and Twitter, work well together because they have different ways of showing your content to new people. In the following we will go into some of the details of facebook and twitter.

  

Facebook is one of the biggest websites on the internet and the largest social media website by a large margin. It also has some great options to help you talk about your website. 

On Facebook most communication happens through posts. Keep in mind that brevity is best when trying to tell people about your website - longer texts are best suited for your website itself. Those interested in reading it will have a more pleasant experience reading it there. 

The way to spread your message about your website on Facebook is by encouraging people to like and share your posts. Liking, sharing and commenting a post automatically adds to the activity of a post. The more active a post is, the more likely it is to be seen by more people.

When people share your post, it automatically pops up on their profile and their friends’ news feed, where they can see it and choose to share it themselves. This is how a post can spread from just your family and friends to loads of interested strangers who might never have seen it otherwise. Professionals call that viral marketing – but anybody can do it. 

So: ask family and friends to like and comment your posts and post often. Then you will be on to getting more visitors in short time notice.

If you want to get more serious about promoting your website, creating a targeted Facebook page is the best way to go. There’s a comprehensive guide on how to create a Facebook page, including some tips on getting started. Doing so opens up a lot more tools for creating posts that people with similar interests will see, and lets you advertise for your website separately from your personal profile. This becomes more important as your website grows in popularity, but it’s not something to worry about in the beginning. 

Twitter

Twitter is one if not the biggest social media network where users share short messages, called a tweet, between each other. It’s a great place to quickly share content and follow the comings and goings of interesting people. 

A tweet is only 140 characters long, so when you write on Twitter it’s important to get your point across quickly. On Facebook you can write longer messages if you need to, but on Twitter it’s important to boil the concept of your website down to a single sentence.

 

 The wat tweets are spread to new people is thru retweet (which works simila-

 rly to the post-sharing we mentioned above) and using hashtags. You create a hashtag by making the symbol # and following it with one or more words, #likethis, turning it into a tag for your tweet. Twitter uses these tags to sort what people are talking about on a given day, and you can search for these tags as well as click them to see other tweets with the same tag. 

Learning to use hashtags well and getting to know what popular ones are important to your website (#news is a good example of a hashtag that is almost always very popular) is a good way to get better at using Twitter. There are a ton of tutorials and guides out there, so you’ll have plenty of help on the way. 

GENERAL TIPS....no matter what social media site u decide to use there are GENERAL TIPS

  you should always keep in mind. 

As we mentioned before, there’s a lot of people on the internet. Plenty of them have something to say, and there are a huge number of companies, too! This means there’s always a lot of content to look at. 

So when a potential visitor sees your posts and tweets, unless they are friends and family, they will usually only give you a few seconds before moving on… if even that.

This is why brevity is so important. There’s always space to elaborate and explain once people are on your website, but in order to get them there, you need to give a good first impression.

Timing is important, too. Contrary to how it may seem sometimes, people don’t spend all their time on social media. Most often you will find that people will log on Facebook or Twitter when they’re not working. This means early afternoon late in the week. You don’t need to be very specific about this, but a rule of thumb is that between 8 PM and 8 AM is the worst time to post, and 1-4 PM is the best time. 

 

Nikon's 6mm extreme wideangle fisheye lens.

NIKON's 6mm fisheye lens is a wonder, upgrading from 8mm...fisheye lens.With its 220 degree field of view, you cannot hide your feet or tripod legs....Maximum light passing capability is the f2.8 aperture, goes upto minimum f22.....

2) It is world's most extreme wideangle lens.....171mm long and lens dia of 236mm....weight? just 5.2kg. It was considered best for commercial and industrial photography, landscape, portraits,interiors for dramatic effect. It has TTL viewing and focusing to cover full frame 24x36mm size....Diaphragm is automatic...Lens has five built in filters (skylight,medium yellow, deep yellow, orange and red). The protruding lens will not allow any outside filters....The lens comes with a slip-on lens cap.

3) 180 degree coverage is of standard fish eye lens, but this beast has 40 degree more wider(i.e.220degree)....Close focusing is from 0.25m to infinity....The lens has 12 glass elements in 9 groups.....Price in England is $160,000....The lens was originally introduced in 1970 Photokina,Cologne, Germany....

Nikon Coolpix P7100

In the design of mirrorless cameras, Nikon introduces its new Coolpix P7100----a 10 MP CCD sensor camera. The lens is good--a fixed 28-200, f2.8-5.6, capable of covering most of the subjects....Can do a pro's work, as it has a build-in flash and hot-shoe for external flash.....I have heard that in villages, the villagers do not bother about the camera make...they shd understand that flash is shining....and the image is looking good on LCD....Results in 5x7 size cannot be bad. Besides it has a Nikon tag...so do not bother....it has 3'' FLIP OUT LCD PANEL with 921k dots--good resolution.

2) It consists of  real image zoom optical viewfinder, necessary for outdoor work....It has two command dials.....first time introduced front command dial, can be easily operated by the index finger and second as usual, at the rear right side on the back panel...It has lithium-ion battery and memory card compartment beneath the right hand grip.....weighting 395gms it will cost nearly $399/-.

Can be a supportive camera with DSLRs...however not pocketable because of slightly bigger size........All the best.

Still Life in Photography.

Life has many shades....there is bright light, there are shadows....And from the birth of a child to the end, it has to go with many facets....The leaf I shot in still life is in the last phase, since it saw all the weathers  when it first came under the spell of sunlight.....Yes depiction of subject  is depiction of philosophy of life in photography and that is more intriguing in still life photography.

2) As Bernard Shaw wrote in 1902 that 'communicability was one of the first principles of a fine art. The ability of an artist to convey his ideas or impressions to the beholder'; and he went on to show that pictorialists could do this at least as well as the worker in any of the other arts.

3) Many has opined that the picture is a thing to be judged 'in its own right'....and not simply as a record of something...this is more relevant in still life photography rather than landscapes or portraiture.

4) Still life photography is depiction of inanimate objects, whether single or groups. The subject provides lots of scope in the arrangements of design elements within a composition....Still Life PHOTOGRAPHERS MAKE PICTURES RATHER TAKE THEM. 

Street Photography - The danger of unscrupulous bikers?

1) IMAGINATION IS THE KEY TO  CAPTURE A PICTURE, HAVING GOOD ELEMENTS OF COMPOSITION.....There is lot of sale of cameras from compacts to DSLRs......It is upon your interest which subject you choose to photograph regularly or casually  spending good money on a camera to satisfy your amateur urge or to earn money from it....There are lot of subjects to photograph from wildlife, nature, portraits to landscapes, which will survive best with you.....I generally shoot daily life pix, covering many subjects upon my thinking and visits of the places. 2) Not necessarily you think of flowers, sunsets, landscape photography always.....Is this not landscape? The definition of landscape is 'picture of inland scenery'...Yes it is a hub of the main square with the picturesque statue of Maharana Pratap, with cineplex and the main street leading to the next end.....WHAT is my purpose of explaining this photograph......because your CAMERA CAN BE A TEACHER OR 'GURU' too.....Here is the example of the dangerous bikers?...See the arrow below and the biker marked is entering wrong sided just before the car, who will move direct or turn from around the rotary...But the biker will not?...Why a few seconds hurry? So please save self and save others also.

3) This type of 'awareness' photography is possible, if you have camera in your pocket or on the left seat of the car......Just shoot some pix...and you will wonder that the areas/streets look so luring with lots of people moving and the great buildings/structures are the captured  images on your camera's sensor.....See the noon time blue sky and the left 'green girl' covering her head and face, compositionally the pic has all elements in their right places......a regular look out when you move on roads, but you avoid and just do not shoot, as there are 'other' interesting subjects hover in your mind......haha....is it not so?

Winter light for halo/rim light effect in objects and portraits.

Backlight is unbeatable for silhouettes and creating halos....Therefore compositional lighting may differ from frontal flat lighting to side lighting....As u r aware, without light, there is no photography....The camera is the source to capture the objects you select under various lighting conditions. Not only straight, but by manipulation the lights, the objects can be revealed or hidden...Tones can be changed....colours can be changed altered or replaced.Light may be soft and hard.

Intensity can differ to affect the exposures...Therefore light is more intense on sunny days than overcast days.

The light changes according to season...In summer it is harsh, while in winter it is more beneficial for purpose of photography, since for four to five months the sun is angled and providing straight but softer directional light, like a spotlight in a studio, as happened in the enclosed photograph......I was attracted by the shadow of the tree and it was purely coincidence that as I clicked the dog has reached the centre point and made a good subject with directional haloed light with its shadow contrasting with the shadows of the tree which brings  the eyes back to the dog.

Yes u can shoot pictures throughout the year..but as I experienced and photographed even good portraits in the evening or morning light of winter.....Still some more days are left before the sun goes head high and the halo effect or as called rim lighting can be achieved only after eight months, outdoors.
