Tamil Songs - 1975s

Ilayaraja scored Annakkili in 1975, and ruled Tamil film music for 15 years as isai gnaani. He took the mantle from MSV, who continued to score great melodies until 1980. Here is the background music from some hit songs between 1975 - 1980. Can you guess which movie they are from? (Some films appear twice) Don't worry about the spelling. Just spell it like it sounds, and the box will turn green. ...

Share your OPML. Seems to be down, though. Comments rajkumarc 11 May 2006 7:54 am: 24/25 - Great work and kept me awake until I got it right. Couldn’t figure out what was song #23. S Anand 11 May 2006 11:59 am: #23: Kamal, Sridevi song. rajkumarc 12 May 2006 5:00 am: Thanks S Anand. I guessed it right the first time but typed in Sivappu instead of Sigappu and it was not accepted. S Anand 14 May 2006 8:25 am: Yeah, it’s a little difficult making tradeoffs on what variations to allow and what not to. ‘v’ maps to w, b, g… too many things.

10 ways to add variety to your digital photographs

10 ways to add variety to your digital photographs. Exposure bracketing sounds especially interesting. Comments Dhar 10 May 2006 7:29 pm: Err, this seems a sure shot way of never learning to photograph properly. The problem with this approach is that people just take shots and pray that things will turn out correct (spray and pray). It would be better to make LOTS of mistakes early on and get a correct idea of things like exposure and composition and then use Exposure bracketing. “when it comes to shooting lots of images - take note of what you%u2019re doing.” From personal experience, this is crazy. With film SLRs (at least the model I had), note taking was often required because info about shutter speed, aperture, focal length was not available otherwise. But come on, with digital cameras this is easily available in the EXIF data. And how many times would you interrupt your photography session to note down these details. I personally feel, the better idea is to MAKE mistakes. Dont bother with exposure bracketing, multiple shots with different focal lengths and the like. If your snaps dont come out right, analysis and comments from people who know photographic techniques will tell you what is to be done the next time and then your snaps will be correct. Sorry for the long comment, but felt it worthwhile to point out a different opinion. Cheers, D.
