The Qur'an

What is Qur'an?

The Qur'an ("Qor-Ann") is a Message from Allah (swt) to humanity. It was transmitted to us in a chain starting from the Almighty Himself (swt) to the angel Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad (saw). This message was given to the Prophet (saw) in pieces over a period spanning approximately 23 years (610 CE to 632 CE). The Prophet (saw) was 40 years old when the Qur'an began to be revealed to him, and he was 63 when the revelation was completed. The language of the original message was Arabic, but it has been translated into many other languages.

The Qur'an is one of the two sources which form the basis of Islam. The second source is the Sunnah of the Prophet (saw). What makes the Qur'an different from the Sunnah is primarily its form. Unlike the Sunnah, the Qur'an is literally the Word of Allah (swt), whereas the Sunnah was inspired by Allah but the wording and actions are the Prophet's (saw). The Qur'an has not been expressed using any human's words. Its wording is letter for letter fixed by no one but Allah.

Prophet Muhammad (saw) was the final Messenger of Allah to humanity, and therefore the Qur'an is the last Message which Allah (swt) has sent to us. Its predecessors such as the Torah, Psalms, and Gospels have all been superseded. It is an obligation - and blessing - for all who hear of the Qur'an and Islam to investigate it and evaluate it for themselves. Allah (swt) has guaranteed that He will protect the Qur'an from human tampering, and today's readers can find exact copies of it all over the world. The Qur'an of today is the same as the Qur'an revealed to Muhammad (saw) 1400 years ago.

Pemeliharaan Lensa

Perawatan lensa kamera DSLR

Sebaiknya perawatan kamera dilakukan rutin, misalnya 2 minggu sekali

terutama sekali lensa, karena kalo terlalu sering dipakai jadi lengket debu deh (apalagi kalo sering hunting outdoor)

Ada beberapa langkah praktis yang bisa dilakukan, yaitu:

1. copotlah kamera dari body nya

2. gunakan blower untuk menghembus debu yang menempel pada lensa

3. tuangkan cairan pembersih di atas lensa secukupnya

4. begitu juga di kain yang akan digunakan untuk membersihkan lensa

5. sapulah permukaan lensa perlahan hingga merata

6. lakukan hal yang sama untuk sisi lensa bagian dalam (yang nempel ke body kamera)


saran:
sebaiknya lensa ditambahkan dengan filter (biasanya uv, yang murahan ajah)
selain sbg filter berfungsi juga untuk melindungi lensa kamera dari goresan, debu dll

Pencahayaan pada saat memotret

Pencahayaan

Sumber cahaya secara umum dibagi 2 yaitu alami (misalnya matahari, bulan) dan buatan (miaslnya blitz, softbox, lampu dll)

Matahari merupakan sumber cahaya yang sangat bagus untuk memotret di luar ruangan (outdoor). Kalau memotret obyek, sebaiknya
obyek tidak membelakangi matahari. Akan tetapi kalau keadaan memaksa, gunakanlah blitz/flash. Hal yang perlu diingat dalam
penggunaan blitz adalah jarak jangkaunya( biasanya jarak jangkau 2-3 meter dari obyek).
Kalau keadaan normal (cuaca cerah, tidak berawan atau mendung) cahaya matahari terasa soft (lembut) sekitar jam 9-10 pagi. Setelah jam tersebut biasanya cahaya terasa cukup keras.


Waktu-waktu untuk memotret alam (nature)
1. Sunrise, yaitu saat matahari mulai terbit. Jadi setelah salat subuh sudah bisa siap-siap. Kalau di Banda Aceh sunrise
sekitar jam 6.15 sampai 7.00 pagi

2. Sunset, yaitu saat matahari terbenam, biasanya menjelang salat magrib, kira-kira jam 6.30 sampai 7.00 sore di Banda
Aceh.
