2009 May Be Gone, But 2010 Brings More Opportunities

Today will mark the end of 2009. It has been a very complicated and difficult year for most. I keep hearing people say that they "hope 2010 will be better for everyone." I hope so too! The small business operators were affected in many ways when the economoy went south, but the small business operators will be the one's that turn the economoy around in 2010.

I for one will strive to improve my operations in 2010. It will be something new for me. I will strive to weekly add to my blog, make cost effective decisions for both the consumer and my business model, and improve my position in the available photography market.

Here's Wishing Everyone A Bright and Successful 2010!

Photography Classes

Photography Classes give opportunities to learn different aspects of photography. It's not always one way of looking at things. It allows experienced photographers to share ideas and creativity with a group of peers.

Photography Classes come in different shapes and skill levels from beginners to more advanced specific classes. Participation can be in schools, one day or multi-day seminars, weekend endeavours that are all inclusive and with the advent of technology, the webinars or online classes.

I am lucky to be holding some classes beginning in October. Contact the Washington County Parks and Recreation Department in Abingdon, Virginia for a beginners as well as an advanced class to register.

Keep learning and share your experiences.

Fishing for A Bride - Trashing the Dress

A new trend that photographers are seeing in the wedding industry will be in your area soon. I believe I just shot the first in my city. The Bride chose to "Trash Her Dress". This was two years after her wedding. She had grand plans and her husband went right along with her. As we approached the stream, the Groom got his fishing pole. Now we went fishing for a bride and then trashed the dress. This was a great concept. I am looking forward to doing it again.

Summer Photography

Summer is the perfect time to get outside of the house or out of a normal routine and take pictures of nature. Just when you think you have done it all, something catches your eye and you capture the image you were looking for. See the image before you push the button. A good artist will always know what he/she wants just by taking the photo in the mind.
Flowers are great subjects to photograph using macro settings on the lens. After setting up the camera, always use a tripod, you can move the entire setup closer or back to change to point of view.
Take a spray bottle of water with you, spray the flower with the water mist to add a new element to your picture.
