Fresh Ideas For Wedding Photographers

November 30th, 2011 . by admin

If you’re a wedding photographer then you know that it can sometimes be a challenge to make everyone’s wedding photos really take shape. For some people, and some locations, it just comes much more naturally, but there are times when having a few tricks up your sleeve can help you deliver some really memorable shots.

Let me share a couple fresh ideas for you incredible wedding photographers:

1. Try taking shots from above. I’ve seen this done a couple of times, but it is unique and can really bring a nice twist for your clients. You can even rent a camera crane, like the ones they use to make movies, to capture shots from straight above the couple, and from obscure angles above them.

2. Take some panoramic shots. Most high tech cameras these days have this ability and it’s another great way to give yourself an edge with your clients.

3. Have fun with photo shop. With all the different things you can do these days, include different effect options for the photos in the packages you sell. For some people this might seem a little strange, but there are many people that like to do things different and might like some humorous or interesting things photo shopped into their wedding photos.

One of the best ways to make a lasting impression is to have fun with your work. It will show in the photos you take. I know a great photographer in Atlanta that does a great job with this. It’s important to find a photographer that you can really connect with.

Burton Induction Cooktop

November 29th, 2011 . by admin

The cool news about the Burton Induction Cooktop is that the technology works just as it is advertised. It’s pretty quick and has plenty of power despite running off a normal power outlet. The bad news is that on this unit the heating element  is only about 6 to 7 inches across. It works fine when we make soups though we did notice that only the middle boiled or simmered. However, when frying, the limitation of the element size became a problem. We used a lodge 12″ cast iron skillet to fry fish. The center of the pan put a beautiful tan on the panko, but the outside of the pan was relatively cool, requiring that each piece of fish be flipped to four positions before it was properly cooked. We tested the unit by wetting the bottom of a cold pan and watching how it dried. The center bubbled and dried, but the outer bottom was only warm to the touch. I thought perhaps it was defective, but other reviewers have commented on the problem.

Hoover U5140-900

November 28th, 2011 . by admin

Despite all the cracking reviews I read I was not expecting too much of the Hoover Tempo Widepath at such a bargain basement price. My expectations were exceeded however with a great vacuum and the usual Amazon super quick delivery. It is really hard to believe that such a good product could be so inexpensive, even if it was made in Mexico. The build quality of the Hoover U5140-900 is excellent. However, for someone tall, like me the handle is not long enough and the bag is on the small side, and the unit is noisy but those are the only negatives after a week of use. Instead of smelling dust while vacuuming, the air coming out of the vacuum is actually fresher and cleaner smelling than the air in the rest of the room.

If you have ever suffered with mild anxiety attacks, then you might want to do a little more research about Valerian root because it could be something that would be very helpful to you. This particular herb has long been used to help treat this condition. Anxiety attacks are very common in today’s world because everyone seems to stay under a lot of stress and that can cause anxiety from time to time.

 

Using an herbal remedy like Valerian might not be able to take the place of prescription medications for those that suffer from severe anxiety, but if this is an issue that you only deal with from time to time, then this herb could be a perfect solution to your problem. Many mild anxiety sufferers take it on a daily basis to help keep them calm when stressful situations do come their way.
