Enterprenurship

1. Start with desire. You find/think of something you want. You don't need a lot of passion, you only need sufficient desire to get started. ("I really want to start a restaurant, but I haven't a clue if I will ever be able to open one.")

2. Take a smart step as quickly as you can toward your goal. What's a smart step? It's one where you act quickly with the means at hand. What you know, who you know, and anything else that's available. ("I know a great chef, and if I beg all my family and friends to back me, I might have enough money to open a place.") You make sure that step is never going to cost more than it would be acceptable to you to lose should things not work out. And you bring others along to acquire more resources, spread the risk and confirm the quality of your idea.

3. Reflect and build on what you have learned from taking that step. You need to do that because every time you act, reality changes. Sometimes the step you take gets you nearer to what you want ("I should be able to afford something just outside of downtown"); sometimes what you want changes ("It looks likes there are an awful lot of Italian restaurants nearby. We are going to have to rethink our menu.") If you pay attention, you always learn something. So after you act, ask: Did those actions get you closer to your goal? ("Yes. It looks like I will be able to open a restaurant.") Do you need additional resources to draw even closer? ("Yes. I'll need to find another chef. The one I know can only do Italian.") Do you still want to obtain your objective? ("Yes.")

4. Repeat.
Act. Learn. Build. Repeat. This is how successful serial entrepreneurs conquer uncertainty. What works for them will work for all of us.

Photography


Use small apertures and slow shutter speeds to gain depth of field, making the image appear sharp.Note that while you will increase the sharpness of stationary objects, elements such as wind-blown grass or leaves or flowing water may appear blurred if you are using long exposures. This effect can be attractive in some compositions, but it can also ruin shots that are meant to be razor sharp.

If you are shooting a landscape and want everything in the image to be track sharp, choose a small aperture to gain the greatest depth of field (f/16, f/22, etc.) But if you are shooting birds or wildlife, you may want just the subject to be in focus. Here you will need to use a larger aperture (f/5.6 or lower) for a shallow depth of field.

The longer the lens, the less depth of field—in practice. Wide angles have more depth of field and telephotos have much less—in practice.

-----------------------------

Macro Lens --> 60mm f/2.8 or a 100mm f/2.8.

WideAngle lens --> 10-22mm or a 12-24mm lens.

100-400mm comes into its own. A lighter alternative is the 70-300mm lens
