The USB Record Player is one of those gadgets that have slowly had an increase in demand over recent years. This has been due to the interest in helping to bring back to life lots of those old 45s on Vinyl. Remember all those old classics that you collected since you were a teenager?
Well, time can stand still once again as these latest gadgets can make the whole process of converting your old vinyl music, from 33s, 45s and even 78s, as easy as 1 2 3. And the great thing about these gadgets is they don't have to cost an arm and a leg either. With prices ranging from around £40 (or even cheaper) for the basic model to £400 for the professional models, which can even record straight to your iPod.
So what can these gadgets really do and what are the most popular and reliable ones available? For a start they really are a simple piece of equipment. All they contain are a turntable and a lead, which connects between the record play and the USB port on your computer (MAC and PC compatible). Hence why they are commonly referred to as the USB Record Player.
Plus, they also come with software that then allows you to convert the vinyl music to other digital formats such as the popular MP3 or even WAV. The software is also required to help clean up all the skips and bumps that you find on old vinyl records. So the quality of software provided and its ability to help 'clean' the older music is very important.
Because of the 'plug and play' nature of this gadget it isn't necessary to install any additional software drivers. This also ensures its ease of use, even for first time users of anything technical. Simply put, all you need to do is power on the USB Record Player, put on one of your old records and then plug it into your computer where you can then start the software provided. Follow the on-screen instructions and start converting. Simple!
Of all the USB record players that you find the most popular is the ION. This also appears under the Numark label and it has a number of excellent USB turntables in the range. And the KAM is also very popular with 3 main models in its range. In fact one of the models is professional quality, which consists of two turntables and is widely used by DJs.
With the ION you can choose from the ITTUSB-05, which is, the Classic style player to the latest iPod Dock that can record straight to your iPod. And for something in between there is the ION Contemporary or iTTUSB-10.
Other turntables that do similar jobs are the Jam, Stageline and Lenco series. All offering pretty much the standard box full of bits and pieces along with the USB record player.
If you are looking to spend lots of time converting a lot of old records then it's important to make sure and get the record player that can handle all the old RPMs i.e. 33, 45 and 78. Some don't handle all, although there is software that you can buy that will also help if your particular USB record player is not up to the job.
So, get searching in the loft and pull all those old favourites and breathe some life back into the music again.
Portrait photography (commonly called portraiture) captures the likeness of a person or group of persons by photography. In portrait photography, the face or the facial expression of the individual photographed is usually the focal point of the image. If desired, the entire body and surrounding background can be included in the final image. Portrait photography is not a snapshot, but a carefully composed image of an individual or group of individuals in a controlled and still setting.
With portrait photography, all of the standard rules or guidelines of still photography continue to apply. However, just like with other photography, sometimes the resulting images provide that WOW factor when the rules are broken. The photographer is the artist and the camera's film or digital memory card becomes the canvas. It is the portrait photographer's responsibility to capture the mood, the expression, the light, and the personality of the subject.
Change the angle of the shot
For most facial portraits, camera is usually at eye level with the subject and the subject is looking straight at the camera lens. If you are not going for the more traditional, formal portrait, try taking your photos from different angles. Try getting low to the subject and point the camera up towards the subject's face. Alternatively, get above the subject and shoot down while the subject is looking up at the camera. Consider shooting at a cross angle for some interesting perspective.
As you evaluate the results of the above actions, you may find that there will be subtle changes in how the lighting affects the highlighting of features or the elimination of shadows.
Experiment with composition
One of the first rules of photography taught is the "Rule of Thirds." This rule has the photographer mentally divide the image into nine equal squares by imagining two parallel lines intersecting with two vertical lines. The focal point of the image rests on one of the points of intersection. This also gives the photographer four invisible lines that are useful for positioning other elements of the photograph. This all gives the image a sense of balance and tends to involve the viewer in the portrait.
With portrait photography, consciously breaking this rule can give you some very stunning portraits. Occasionally the mood or setting can give you some ideas as to what might work. Consider placing the subject or focal point squarely in the center of the image. On the other hand, perhaps having the subject on the edge of the photo can convey that story you are trying to capture.
Play with props
Props are very useful to the portrait photographer when taking photos of young children. Adding props to your adult portraiture can also provide for some very intriguing shots. A single rose or other favorite flower can do much for enhancing the photo and bringing out emotions you might not be able to capture otherwise. You do not want the prop to detract from or draw attention away from your subject, but a meaningful prop can add to the portraiture's impact.
There are several other factors to consider in portrait photography. Paying attention to your composition, utilizing props, and changing the angle of the shot will go a long way towards helping you get that WOW factor.
