When a development team runs into some sort of road block or issue with their project, how should the tech lead find the best solution? The following is my opinion after working under several individuals with great technical leadership:

1. Brainstorm: Find out what problems the developers are having, and brainstorm possible solutions. Get a list of the pain points the developers are experiencing. Don’t make any decisions now, just get a list of things going badly and ideas for solutions.

2. Research: From the brainstorming session research possible solutions to the problems. Use the notes from the brainstorming session as a start but don’t let them be a limiter. Test out the solutions within the project itself.

3. Implement: Pick the best solution. Create examples of how this solution handles the pain points the developers were having. Present it to the developers with real working examples of it being used in the project.

4. Feedback: As the developers start using the solution, ask for feedback and continually reevaluate the solution to make sure the right one was picked.

5. Refactor: If the new solution has too many problems, go back to step 2. Don’t get stuck with another solution that sucks in different ways.

 Nikon's Mirrorless Cameras
Nikon's two mirror less interchangeable lens cameras are comparable with similar features offerings from Olympus, Panasonic, Sony, and Pentax. The J1 and the V1 cameras will sport a 13.2mm x 8.8mm CMOS sensors (2.7x crop factor), larger than premium compact cameras. The V1 boasts an EVF and supports an external flash, as well as a mechanical shutter, stereo microphone input, a "multi-accessory port" and a magnesium alloy chassis.

Both cameras offer a 10.1-megapixel image sensor, hybrid phase and contrast detection autofocus, the new EXPEED 3 image processor, and an ISO range of 100-6400, including the Hi-1 setting. Full HD 1080/60i video recording, with 720/60p audio recording in both cmeras.  10fps of photo shooting speed at full resolution and continuous autofocus are also featured.  1200fps video recording for slow motion video capture, as well as noise reduction tailored for low light video are also featured. Four lenses are available for both cameras.

Capturing a moving subject due to a use of an inappropriate shutter speed is called motion blur. It produces the effect of something leaving a trail behind itself when moving. Capturing movement in images is something that many photographers only think to do when they are photographing sports or other fast moving subjects.
Motion Blur Photography

You can get Motion blur pictures by using 2 techniques, both of them rely on the appropriate shutter speed to be used.

Moving subject/Still camera:
In this technique you can get photos by having your camera completely still focusing on the moving subject. This will make the background or the setting of the photograph appear perfectly sharp and the motion blur effect will only be visible on the moving element.

Moving Subject/Moving Camera:
This is also called panning technique. In this technique you can photos by following the movement subject with the movement of your camera. It will make the background blurred while leaving the subject in focus.
