Photoshoot and Beyond
Zombies? Maybe not the first mental image when you think about photographing a wedding, but humor me for a minute in this just for fun blog. Who knows it might help you survive your next event. Make an alliance I will never willingly do another wedding…
I’m always interested in improvements in camera technology. Just as devices, batteries, screens, and camera sensors keep getting smaller… so will lenses.

Here is a sweet tip we got from Adam Frimer about managing your cards while on a shoot. You start with a bunch of clean formatted cards. Place them all in a hard case facing up. This way you can see the data on each card. (Those hard cases are about $1…
It’s time for our weekly break from the gear for a few minutes so we can enjoy another round of reader photos from the Photography Bay Flickr Group. Check out the rest of the photos below. Clicking on the photos will take you to its Flickr page where you can read more about the shot, […]
