How to Clean Camera Lenses

poker-camera

A dusty camera lens is similar to a dusty window. Think of the lens on your digital camera as the window for your images. If you have smudged or dusty lenses, the camera will have a difficult time “seeing” through its window, and your image quality will suffer. Cleaning camera lenses demand special care to avoid scratches and other damages. Professionals take this and the outcome of their pictures in high regards, as the popular German photographer Andreas Gursky said in an interview, “Vision is an intelligent form of thought”.

[de] XAMPP für Windows x64

Xampp x64
ENGLISH VERSION

Es gibt zwar keine öffentliche Version von XAMPP für ein 64bit Windows, trotzdem kann man sich ein Paket mit Apache, PHP und MySQL für den 64 Bit Befehlssatz zusammenstellen.

Das gesamte XAMPP Paket benötigt kein x64, einige Binarys gibt es gar nicht in diesem Befehlssatz!
Es gibt keine sichtbaren Vorteile der 64-Bit Version, eher Nachteile, da es inoffizielle Releases sind, sodass ich stark zu XAMPP (32 Bit) rate.

Dieses Tutorial wurde von mir verfasst, als ich frisch einen x64 Prozessor bekommen hab und dadurch dachte, dass ich alles unter 64 Bit laufen haben müsste. Meine Erfahrung zeigt, dass x86 XAMPP viel einfacher zu installieren und konfigurieren ist und stabil genug läuft.

[en] XAMPP for Windows x64

Xampp x64
DEUTSCHE VERSION

Although there is no official version of XAMPP for the 64 bit version of Windows, it’s pretty easy to set it up on your own using the official packages.

The whole XAMPP package doesn’t need x64 – some binaries don’t even exist for x64!
There are no visible advantages of the 64-bit version, I would even go so far as to say there are probably more drawbacks as you are left with using unofficial releases. I personally strongly advice you to use the original XAMPP (32 bit) package!

I wrote this tutorial when I just bought a new x64 processor and thought that everything should run like that. The only real advantage is the RAM usage over 4 GB, though this kind of memory management is done by the operating system.
