Love Photography? 7 Steps To Level Up Your Game
Muskan Kalra May 29, 2025 Learn the basic settings—aperture, shutter speed, ISO—and how they affect your photos. Natural light is your best friend. Experiment with different times of day and lighting conditions to see how they change the mood and quality of your shots. Follow rules like the Rule of Thirds, leading lines, and framing to create balanced and engaging photos. Composition can turn an ordinary shot into a masterpiece. Choose a clear subject and make sure it stands out. Whether it's a person, landscape, or object, good photos tell a story. If your camera allows, shoot in RAW. It gives you greater flexibility during post-processing to adjust exposure, color, and details without losing quality. Use photo editing software to enhance your images but avoid overdoing it. Subtle edits can make your photos pop while keeping them natural. Photography is a journey. Keep shooting, trying new techniques, and learning from mistakes. Join photography communities or challenges to stay inspired. Read Next Story

Whether it's a steaming plate of momos or the colorful chaos of a chaat stall, your clicks could bring those flavors to life for thousands. And when it comes to mobile food photography, it is important to keep a check on the following settings for that perfect click. Turn on Grid Lines Why: Helps you align your shot using the Rule of Thirds for better composition. How: Go to Camera Settings → Enable Grid. Use Manual Focus (Tap to Focus) Why: Ensures your subject (the dish) is crisply in focus, especially with depth or garnish. Tip: Tap on the main part of the food (like the topping or center) before you shoot. Adjust Exposure Manually Why: Prevents overexposure or underexposure, especially with bright plates or sauces. How: After tapping to focus, slide up/down to adjust brightness before clicking. Use HDR Mode (High Dynamic Range) Why: Captures detail in both shadows and highlights — perfect for food with texture or shine. Note: Works best in good natural light; avoid HDR in dim settings. Set Camera Resolution to High Why: You get sharper and more detailed photos, ideal for cropping or editing later. How: Go to Camera Settings → Set Photo Quality or Resolution to maximum. Bonus Tips: Use natural light near a window for soft shadows. Keep the lens clean for sharp images. Try portrait mode for depth or pro mode if available.

Dinner and a Show Isn't Dead
Being entertained while eating something exciting is almost an embarrassment of riches, almost too much. Almost. Like anyone with two ears and a heart, I appreciate live music soundtracking an otherwise standard meal on the town. But these three dinner-and-a-show combos aim to offer something a step or two beyond. I've never had a good bite of food at a comedy club, so this is a treat. Rule of Thirds, an airy Japanese restaurant that feels like it belongs in Venice (Los Angeles, not Italy), has an attached event space that I would probably consider getting married in. There, they host a monthly comedy show with a fun D.I.Y. feel — some tables are set up on milk crates, and comics perform on a stage in front of stacks of cardboard sake delivery boxes. Your best bet to keep up with show dates is by checking their Instagram page. They don't serve the full Rule of Thirds dinner menu during shows, but they do offer their excellent karaage ($16) drizzled with ginger-soy sauce and tartar sauce; a triangle of tuna tartare ($16) mixed with crispy Tenkasu that you scoop into nori to make little bites; and crispy pork gyoza ($8). 171 Banker Street (Norman Avenue) Want all of The Times?

The Art of Facial Balancing and Facial Slimming by Shay Novi
Shay Novi Aesthetics & Wellness is redefining the field of non-invasive facial aesthetics, offering advanced facial balancing and slimming procedures in Miami and Boca Raton. MIAMI, FL, February 6, 2025 -- Recognized for precision and natural-looking results, Advanced Nurse Practitioner Shay Novi has become a sought-after expert, attracting clients from across the country and beyond. Mastering the Art of Facial Balancing Facial balancing is an enhanced technique that provides harmony and symmetry without altering natural beauty. Unlike traditional approaches that target single features such as only focusing on lip filler, Shay Novi utilizes a holistic method based on scientific principles such as the Golden Ratio, the Rule of Thirds, and Ricketts' E-line. By considering the face as a whole, these treatments create proportional, structured enhancements that align with each client's natural bone structure and aesthetic goals. The result is a polished, yet subtle transformation that complements individual facial characteristics. Non-Invasive Techniques: Dermal Fillers and Neurotoxins Shay Novi specializes in cutting-edge, non-invasive treatments to achieve optimal facial balance. These procedures involve the use of dermal fillers and neurotoxins to sculpt and define facial contours safely and effectively. Dermal Fillers: Hyaluronic acid based gel-like substances used to restore lost volume, smooth lines, and enhance key facial areas such as the cheeks, jawline, chin, lips, and temples. Fillers play a pivotal role in refining facial proportions and symmetry while adding volume and structure. Neurotoxins (Botox, Dysport): By temporarily relaxing targeted muscles, neurotoxins soften wrinkles and fine lines. Additionally, Botox is able to contour the lower face, specifically the masseter muscles through advanced techniques to alleviate jaw tension, creating a more defined and slimmer facial appearance. The impact of these treatments extends beyond aesthetics, as many clients report enhanced confidence in professional and personal settings. Transformational Facial Slimming Facial slimming is another highly sought-after procedure at Shay Novi Aesthetics & Wellness. This technique refines and sculpts facial contours, reducing jaw width, enhancing cheekbones, and achieving a more oval or V-shaped face. By strategically applying neurotoxins and fillers, Shay Novi creates a structured and harmonious facial profile. These non-invasive treatments offer a noticeable yet natural transformation, helping clients achieve a more youthful and contoured look. A Destination for Aesthetic Excellence Shay Novi's expertise has positioned her as a leader in aesthetic medicine, with clients traveling from around the world to visit her South Florida clinics. Her approach is rooted in precision, medical expertise, and an in-depth understanding of facial anatomy. 'In today's digital world, first impressions matter more than ever. Our goal is to enhance natural beauty through techniques that complement each person's unique facial structure,' says Shay Novi. By focusing on science-backed treatments and individualized care, Shay Novi Aesthetics & Wellness continues to shape the future of facial aesthetics in South Florida and beyond.
