A Candid Image - Wedding Photo Tips

Wedding is one of the most special and memorable occasion of a couple's life. It is through the wedding photographs and videos that a couple relives those priceless moments. It is essential that its memories are captured in the spirit with which it is celebrated. This article discusses some useful and interesting wedding photography tips to help a wedding photographer capture precious moments of a wedding in the best way.

• Before the wedding, get to know the couple's expectations. You can even compile a check list to ensure that you do not miss any particular person that the couple would surely like to be photographed with. A wedding is a family affair, so get acquainted with the bride and the groom's siblings, best friends, and grandparents. 

• Every wedding is different, so get familiar with small details, procedures, traditions and customs that are associated with it. This way you can capture its true spirit! Also scout the locations where you will be clicking photographs before the big day. This will help you plan your shots and the amount of lighting required in each location.

• Photography is a combination of both art and science. You have to be creative and technically sound with colour and light management, digital imaging, file management, image correction and editing. Practice your techniques by attending the seminars of professional photography organizations. 

• Be at the right place at the right time especially during the cutting of the wedding cake, throwing of the wedding bouquet and many other spontaneous moments that need be instantly captured! Use different angles, such as wide, close-up, high, etc. to create an interesting and a versatile album. 

• In order to avoid a glare from the sunglasses ensure you have the correct angle while taking a shot. As a glare from eyeglasses can lead to big bright spot in your photo and can ruin a picture perfect moment! 

• Create a dramatic effect to the event by including colorful wedding accents, wedding rings of the couple, table setting and decoration and flowers in the photos. The bottomline is to be original and create your own signature style!

• Be well equipped. Carry an extra camera, ensure that the batteries are fully charged, the memory cards are blank, and also take along different lenses for creating different effects. Better still, love your work and give all your heart and soul to it!

Get Holistic Healing with Ayurveda

Get Holistic Healing with Ayurveda

Modern medical science has undergone a lot of advancement in the recent years. In fact, cures to many debilitating diseases have also been discovered. However, there have been times when even the best of technology and medicine have failed to provide a complete cure. This is where alternative or complementary medicine comes into the picture.

Ayurveda is now becoming the fastest growing forms of complementary medicines in the western nations. This form of medicine provides healing slowly and gently without the usage of any synthetic chemicals. This form of medicine is holistic in approach and unites suitable remedies to deal with the needs of an individual.

The holistic approach of this form of medicine involves taking care of the individual and his or her lifestyle. An Ayurvedic practitioner prescribes the intake of healthy diet and nutrition, proper mental and physical exercise besides sufficient sleep and healthy habits. In fact, it promotes leading a lifestyle where good or bad emotions are processed out everyday.  

Ayurveda views every individual as a distinct entity and therefore beliefs that every person has a different prototype of energy. There are three basic energy types which are called as doshas, which indeed is present in every person and are known as vata, pitta, and kapha.

Everyone has the aforesaid doshas but only one or a couple of them are prominent in a particular person which causes imbalance in a person's body. The main focus of Ayurvedic treatment is about rebalancing the doshas. It is indeed a natural healing system and is a proper preventive care system that directs a person to live a healthy life, free of any disease. It also promotes fitness and wellness, which makes a person's life more significant and peaceful as he or she grows up.Ayurveda works on the theory that diseases and ailments are a consequence of imbalance in the mind and body. Ayurveda focuses on restoring balance between an individual's physical, emotional, and spiritual well being by maintaining balance between the three doshas.

What is Quran (koran)? Facts About Quran

What is Quran – Facts about Quran

* Quran is spelled as Qur'aan, Koran and commonly as Quran.

* Quran is the noble and Holy Book of the Islamic religion.

* Muslims believe in Quran as the word of God (Allah). 

* Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad as the final word from God (Allah). 

* According to the teaching of the Islamic Religion (Teachings that Allah taught Muhammad through Quran and other forms of revelation) that the commandments of God (Allah) in Quran supersede all previous commandments that were revealed in previous revelations such as Torah and Bible.

* Muslims believe in Torah and Bible as revelations from God (Allah) BUT not in the actual teachings as they were believed to be altered by people over time

* Muslims believe that Quran has not changed since its revelation. Allah has taken guarantee in the Quran itself that Allah will protect such from happening.

* The teachings in the Quran dictate Muslims' way of life. 

* Muslims recite Quran in their prayers daily. 

* Quran is recited the most in the month of Ramadan (the month of fasting).

* Quran was revealed on Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) over a period of 23 years. 

* The verses and chapters in the Quran were revealed depending on the various incidents that occurred during the life time of Prophet Muhammad. The whole idea was to reinforce Quranic teachings in the life of Muslims and make it more practical for them to follow. For example, prior to the revelation of Quran, people used to drink alcohol. The first verses of the Quran prohibited Muslims not to pray while they are intoxicated (as they do not know what they are praying). However, later, verses were revealed that completely prohibited alcohol for Muslims. Allah mentioned in the Quran that the harms inflicted by drinking alcohol are far more than its benefits.

* Quran is divided into many chapters with each chapter having verses.

* Quran was revealed in the Arabic language and Muslims all over the world recite it in the same language. However, translations have surfaced to help Muslims and non-Muslims alike understand the interpretation of the Quran. Translations should be read very carefully as simple translations mostly do not convey the real meanings of what was revealed. A simple example would be the term "what's up?" used in American vocabulary. When someone uses that sentence, he literally does not mean "what is up?", rather it means "what is happening" or "what do you want", etc.

Malaysia

Malaysia is a federal constitutional monarchy in South-east Asia. It consists of thirteen states and three federal territories and has a total landmass of 329,847 square kilometres (127,350 sq mi) separated by the South China Sea into two similarly sized regions, Peninsular Malaysia and Malaysian Borneo. Land borders are shared with Thailand, Indonesia, and Brunei, and maritime borders exist with Singapore, Vietnam, and the Philippines. The capital city is Kuala Lumpur, while Putrajaya is the seat of the federal government. In 2010 the population exceeded 27.5 million, with over 20 million living on the Peninsula.

Malaysia has its origins in the Malay Kingdoms present in the area which, from the 18th century, became subject to the British Empire. The first British territories were known as the Straits Settlements, whose establishment was followed by the Malay kingdoms becoming British protectorates. The territories on Peninsular Malaysia were first unified as the Malayan Union in 1946. Malaya was restructured as the Federation of Malaya in 1948, and achieved independence on 31 August 1957. Malaya united with Sabah, Sarawak, and Singapore on 16 September 1963, with si being added to give the new country the name Malaysia. Less than two years later in 1965, Singapore was expelled from the federation. Since independence, Malaysia has had one of the best economic records in Asia, with GDP growing an average 6.5% for almost 50 years. The economy has traditionally been fuelled by its natural resources, but is expanding in the sectors of science, tourism, commerce and medical tourism.

The country is multi-ethnic and multi-cultural, which plays a large role in politics. The government system is closely modelled on the Westminster parliamentary system and the legal system is based on English Common Law. The constitution declares Islam the state religion while protecting freedom of religion. The head of state is the King, known as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. He is an elected monarch chosen from the hereditary rulers of the nine Malay states every five years. The head of government is the Prime Minister.

Malaysia contains the southernmost point of continental Eurasia, Tanjung Piai. Located in the tropics, it is a megadiverse country, with large numbers of endemic flora and fauna. It is a founding member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, and a member of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, the Commonwealth of Nations, and the Non-Aligned Movement.
