What I Do When I Return From A Photography Trip

I thought it might be useful to go over the basic workflow I have for dealing with gear and photos after getting back home.

Backup

The very first thing I do is backup the photos and videos. During our trip we ended up taking about 1.5TB worth of photos and videos. Throughout the trip the photos had already been backed up to several portable external hard drives, but when I get back home I transfer everything to our main storage server. 

6 Simple Reasons Why You Don’t Need A New Camera

Buying a new camera is a lot of fun, but it’s not always necessary. Here are 6 reasons why you should skip getting a new camera.

What You Need To Get Started With Photo Printing

Creating your own photographic prints is incredibly rewarding and efficient.


Early on we would waste so much time sending print orders to a professional lab and waiting for the prints to be shipped to us (or us have to go pick them up). By printing at home you can turn around print orders in a fraction of the time. And you’re also able to get better results (since you can make editing adjustments on the fly).

Do You Want Massive Readers for Your Blog Or Post?



Do You Want Massive Readers for Your Blog?
Some new bloggers have recently asked me how to get people to visit their blog. Let me say up front that ‘getting hits’ isn’t everything – there are other reasons to blog than simply to have your thoughts read – for some its more about the process of writing and what is learned along the way, for others its about writing for their family and friends. I guess it comes down to priorities.
Having said that – most bloggers deep down must have some desire to have people read what they write – if not why not just keep a private diary on your computer?
So, hits are not everything, but having people read your blog is part of the deal – so how do you get them there?

BEFORE YOUR CALL A PHOTOGRAPHER TO SHOOT YOUR EVENT



BEFORE YOUR CALL A PHOTOGRAPHER TO SHOOT YOUR WEDDING

The way you feel about yourself after your weeding day is largely dependent on the Wedding Film and Photo Book you watch.

Below are lists of essential questions to ask your Event Image Maker before deciding to book.
• May I see your portfolio? His/her portfolio will give you a clear picture of her expertise with different kinds of shoots. You can ask to see the before and after photos if they do not make that available. This gives you an idea of what you’ll get on your big day.

• Are you active on social media? This seems trivial, but any image maker that takes their job serious should have a social media following or a blog.
