Flash diffusers can eliminate background shadows from your flash. Create fill flash in outdoor photos and much more. Gary Fong has a nice selection of flash diffusion devices. The Lightsphere and Whaletail flash diffusers are well known among professional photographers.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFEirrlsCS96QW8PXHMHbRgqcq1SwxMPZSgCNREgL3pB1WQwSOfB2NLT1_LqJUH9S5VtYxHNpvkGMpF6gc45KIowakZ7ZZbK_YOVCHAbhd6yN_GiJQWIlBuWF21caCVoGSTO3tWFdX9hM/s1600-h/lightsphere.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 55px; height: 55px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFEirrlsCS96QW8PXHMHbRgqcq1SwxMPZSgCNREgL3pB1WQwSOfB2NLT1_LqJUH9S5VtYxHNpvkGMpF6gc45KIowakZ7ZZbK_YOVCHAbhd6yN_GiJQWIlBuWF21caCVoGSTO3tWFdX9hM/s320/lightsphere.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267403685936637570" /></a><br /><br /><A href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com?BI=3023&KW=BANNER2&KBID=3972&img=bh_professionalcameras.gif"><br /><img src="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/images/affiliateimages/bh_professionalcameras.gif" border="0"></a><br /><img src="http://affiliates.bhphotovideo.com/showban.asp?id=3972&img=bh_professionalcameras.gif" border=0>Beckerphotoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04257493580527703699noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326373550288902128.post-28963933358672805942008-10-22T11:16:00.000-07:002008-10-22T11:18:33.220-07:00Camera EquipmentQuality images come from quality equipment. I personally use Canon cameras and Canon lenses. Some times you can have compatibility issues with your camera when using a different name brand lens. There are many types of cameras on the market. You can spend many hours reading who is the best. I chose Canon for my own reasons.<br /><br />The following link is a site that test many brand name cameras. The site provides you with a well in depth review of the cameras along with the pros and cons. It also has user feedback, lens reviews, camera database and much more.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.dpreview.com/">http://www.dpreview.com/</a> <br /><br /><br />When you decide the brand of camera you will use in your business. I would suggest buying the best you can afford and you will not regret it. If you buy a quality camera and a cheap lens, soon you will see the disadvantages of the lower quality lens. Now you have to sell the lens at a lower price than you paid, if you can find some one to sell it to! Buy the better lens loosing time and money in the learning process.<br />When purchasing new equipment on line you will see great deals. Low prices from dealers you have never heard of. Keep that in mind! Never heard of. If you have a problem when you get it, will you ever hear from them again? When you purchase your equipment from a big name camera store, they will be around when you need them.<br />B&H Photo is one of the largest camera equipment companies. B&H Photo is where most professional photographers get their gear.<br /><br /><A href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com?BI=3023&KW=BANNER2&KBID=3972&img=bh_professionalcameras.gif"><br /><img src="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/images/affiliateimages/bh_professionalcameras.gif" border="0"></a><br /><img src="http://affiliates.bhphotovideo.com/showban.asp?id=3972&img=bh_professionalcameras.gif" border=0>Beckerphotoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04257493580527703699noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326373550288902128.post-54105362387467794002008-10-22T09:28:00.000-07:002008-10-22T09:45:21.254-07:00Business cardsBusiness cards are one of the most important links to your business. Don’t skimp on your business cards. You are presenting and advertising your company to a potential client hand to hand. Make a statement! Don’t present your client with a business card you printed at home, on thin paper with perforated ends. <br />The front of your card should tell your client who and what you are. Company name, your name, service provided, phone number, email and website. <br />Use your wedding images everywhere. Pick one of your best photos for the front of the card.<br /><br />The flowing links are companies who print business cards<br /><br /><a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-3193695-10450379" target="_top"><br /><img src="http://www.lduhtrp.net/image-3193695-10450379" width="125" height="125" alt="20% off Everything - Customize at iPrint.com!" border="0"/></a><br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=AacvAXuQsMk&offerid=135884.10000066&type=4&subid=0"><img alt="VistaPrint USA Inc." border="0" src="http://marketing.vistaprint.com/us/imgs/bannerads/NEW_Spin_new_125x125.gif"></a><img border="0" width="1" height="1" src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=AacvAXuQsMk&bids=135884.10000066&type=4&subid=0">Beckerphotoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04257493580527703699noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326373550288902128.post-92163054150636848012008-10-15T09:58:00.001-07:002008-10-15T10:07:13.125-07:00On line printing and stock portfolio serviceThis service is a must for every photographer.

It is a very big asset to your company. Keep it simple and easy to navigate. Don’t get caught up in the fancy flash, music playing in the background and flashing lights.

Sounds easy? Make it easy! Keep it simple! Don’t make it to long. Long business names are difficult for your future clients to remember especially when your business name, website and email address are the same naming convention.When you decide on your new business name, check to see if the website domain name is taken. If you plan on having your website and business the same name, you can check for your domain name at the following link. Select Domain check at the top.</span><br /><a href="http://www.hostmonster.com/track/beckerphotos/text1">CLICK HERE TO CHECK DOMAIN NAME HOSTMONSTER.COM .</a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">If the name is taken you can change the ending .com to .net or .org. Next, check your email provider for your business name. If the name is taken with the email company you are using, you can try a different email provider.</span>Beckerphotoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04257493580527703699noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326373550288902128.post-66778817912559531062008-10-15T05:24:00.000-07:002008-10-15T11:23:20.782-07:00Starting your Photography business<span style="font-family:arial;">Photography can be a very rewarding hobby and a profitable career.

Some brides may think a year in advance is to long. The most desired wedding days fall on the month of May through Aug. That is four months and only 16 Saturdays. Just in the state of Vermont there were 5971 weddings in 2005. When you have set your wedding date and decided on your wedding photographer, how many brides are planning to have their wedding the same day as you? You can take a chance and hope you don’t hear, “sorry that date is taken”. Do you really want to take a chance on one of the most important days in your life?Beckerphotoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04257493580527703699noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326373550288902128.post-80989909218654584502007-09-12T07:00:00.000-07:002007-09-12T17:39:39.420-07:00Using virtual wedding albumsUsing a virtual wedding album like this has two major benefits. The bride will be able to view photos of her wedding in only a few days, not weeks or months. This allows her to see your beautiful photos of her special day. Second, it gives her the option of creative input into the creations of her wedding album.<br />Allowing us to create your wedding albums for you, save you time and money. Letting you get back to more important things. No more buying wedding albums, having the photos printed, spending many hours placing them in order and inserting them into the wedding albums.<br /><br />With this new style, you receive an email with a link displaying your new wedding album. You inspect our work forward this link to your bride and take all the credit in presenting your bride with her wedding album in an impressive time.Beckerphotoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04257493580527703699noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326373550288902128.post-23523038492430972562007-09-07T08:48:00.000-07:002007-09-07T08:50:15.782-07:00Virtual wedding albums<a href="http://www.beckerphotos.com/Megan&Mark/">http://www.beckerphotos.com/Megan&Mark/</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.beckerphotos.com/Mary&Scott/">http://www.beckerphotos.com/Mary&Scott/</a>Beckerphotoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04257493580527703699noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326373550288902128.post-54712134690402565622007-08-20T07:30:00.000-07:002007-08-20T07:31:50.239-07:00Magazine style wedding albumsHello,<br /><br />We are working with new software that will allow us to provide a wonderful new service to brides and photographers. It allows the bride to see her wedding album on line as a virtual album days after her wedding. It opens up playing her favorite song and automatically shows each page one after another. After viewing her album she can make any changes by email.<br /><br />The album will be printed after the bride’s approval in the new beautiful custom design hard cover magazine style wedding albums. These new albums are like a hard cover book you would purchase at the bookstore. Albums would be a great center peace for your coffee table for everyone to see.Beckerphotoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04257493580527703699noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326373550288902128.post-9905615330506635022007-08-13T06:25:00.001-07:002008-10-15T11:19:06.914-07:00Fresh startHello everyone!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.interventiontreatment.com" title="Intervention"><img src="http://www.freehitscounters.com/counter.aspx?id=10569" alt="Intervention" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:10px;"><a href="http://www.interventiontreatment.com" title="Intervention">Intervention</a></span>Beckerphotoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04257493580527703699noreply@blogger.com1
