What are Teleconverters For?
A teleconverter or tele extender is a special type of film camera accessory, designed to enlarge the central part of an image, obtained by an objective lens. It helps photographers to make amazing shots at great distances. Teleconverter increases apparent focal length of your camera, and it can be used with both analog and digital cameras.

How to Shoot Without Flash?
Many modern photographers find it difficult to deal with situations where venue does not allow using flash to finish their idea and implement it in a breathtaking shot. There are a variety of venues and objects that do not allow using flash both as an instrument and accessory for your camera because of its bad effect it may have on the object of your shot. However, even with such limited possibilities in shooting, you can make amazing shots without any troubles. Professional photographers recommend changing the ISO setting (of course, if you have such a function in your camera). The setting should be set as high as possible, because it makes the sensor of your camera more sensitive to light. As you can see, the more the level of sensitivity is, the better your shot without flash will be. Moreover, you can use additional software to make your images shot without flash look really spectacular. The same can be done to films in analog cameras. In this case you need to use an 800 ISO film, while setting ISO to 1600. Don’t forget that you are “underexposing” the film, so when developing it, it is obligatory to explain what manipulations you have done, so that you could get a perfect result from a developed shot. It helps to reach the same effect. You should also remember that the works of art almost of all kinds do not allow using flash in your camera. But if you are not sure whether you should use it or not, it is always better to consult authorized representatives of the venue.
