SEO Ranking Research Tools

  Introduction SEO is a complex topic that requires a lot of research and work. Not only do you have to work hard to get to the top of the SERPs, but you have to work hard to stay there, as well. But how do you know if your efforts are really working? If you’re targeting dozens, even hundreds of keywords or more, how can you possibly keep up with whether or not your rankings are going up, staying the same, or even slipping? Think about this: Let’s say you’re trying to lose weight. You go on a diet and start exercising, but you have no measuring tape and no scale to track your results. You might see occasional signs that you’re actually losing weight, like your pants fitting a bit looser, but without real results staring you in the face, you’re likely to lose motivation. You might even give up entirely. The same thing can happen in SEO.

How to set your autofocus for macro photography


How to set your autofocus for macro photography



Macro photography is a genre where focus is fundamental to a successful image. Macro photography is also the one genre where perfect focus is perhaps hardest to achieve.
This quick photography tutorial will show you how to set your camera’s autofocus in 3 simple steps so you can start taking consistently sharp macro photos.

Step 1: Switch to AF-S

To stop your autofocus from ‘hunting ‘ for something to lock onto, set the focusing mode to One Shot AF or Autofocus-Single (AF-S). This enables you to choose a fixed focus point.

Step 2: Select the focus point
Adjust your autofocus point in the viewfinder as you compose the image, and place it directly over the spot you want to focus on – in this case the butterfly’s head. Press the shutter release halfway to focus, then take the picture.

Step 3: Apply sharpening
All digital photos benefit from software sharpening. Open the image in Photoshop Elements, examine it at 100% and click Enhance>Un sharp Mark (in CS, it’s Filter>Sharpen>Un sharp Mask). Boost Amount to 50-100 and Radius to 1-2 for pin-sharp shots.

By 2050, that number is expected to rise to 14 million. Detecting symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease as early as possible can be critical to provide appropriate care and avoid potentially dangerous situations.
