Long Exposure photography is a way of taking a picture by letting the shutter open for longer periods of time - mostly seconds - and let the sensor capture everything that's happening in the scene during the time it is exposed. Those light trail shots and light painting shots you saw online are created by using this technique.  What's the Ideal scenario to take Long Exposure or Slow Shutter photos? Let's assume you ar

Motorola's attempt to bring back a classic old phone - Moto Razr - didn't go well. Apart from the Nostalgic feel, the device didn't have much to offer. It came with mid-range specs and had a price tag of a super high-end phone. In India, it is currently priced at Rs 1,24,990 on Flipkart , and there are currently zero customer reviews on the phone there ie Nobody is willing to pay so much money for this classic Razr phone.  Probably due to the lack of sales, Motorola is now offering Buy 1 Get 1 Free offer in the US! The price in the US is $1,499.99, so you can get 1 device for $745. Is it worth it for that price? It is still hard to recommend. There is hardly any good review online for this phone, so in my opinion, it would be better to go for some other device, let's say an Apple iPhone 11 unlocked which is priced lesser than Razr on Amazon US. In India, there is no chance to see a Buy 1 Get 1 Moto Razr offer as it is still on Pre-order. There is a 100% chance ho
