Canon 40d Made Easy Training Dvds 1 & 2

Learn every feature and function step by step in an easy explained manner. This camera does so many things you may not be aware of that we reveal in this video so take your photography to the next level withou through a complicated manual.
Customer Review: Great Video and Support
This is a great video because they speak in everyday language and cover every aspect of the camera. I like they way they show the menus and camera LCD full screen on the DVD. In addition, they give great "in the field tips" on how to exposure/focus lock. You learn about the camera and then 5-6 tips that you can put to use right away. An added bonus is that they give you 1 year of support. I was a little skeptical on this claim, but after taking some additional classes, I sent a detailed technical question and the response was thorough and insightful. Even after reading several books on the 40D, it seems like video can add a dimension that books can't. I think in 1 or 2 scenes they could have done some re-takes due to the video lens being a little distorted, but overall it adds to the personal feel of the video. I would highly recommend this video for anyone.


Know anyone who has been ripped off and lost some money? It's actually difficult to steal a credit card number traveling electronically across the Net. Otherwise our banking system would fail. It's easier to grab a receipt out of a trashcan at a restaurant or hotel lobby. While hackers have broken into databases - the incidents are exciting to hear about, but rare.

Presently, e-commerce merchants are trying out a new protection technique. On phone orders and some mail orders, the merchant is asking for the CID number of the card (on the back of MasterCard, Visa, and Discover cards, and the front of American Express). And remember, you're not liable for more than $50 in fraudulent credit card usage, and credit card companies are known to forgive even the $50.

So where's the problem? Credit card fraud is actually an issue for the Big 4 credit card companies. But the credit card companies and banks are not about to admit it. Why? The question of consumer confidence. Financial institutions downplay the problem. Customers will lose faith in the Net if they feel it is not secure.

Does all this apply to stolen photos? In the stock photo industry there's 'big brother' protection by the large corporate stock agencies (the Big 3), who each have an oak table and swivel chairs filled with attorneys searching out cases of misuse of their photos. If they find a case, it's to everyone's benefit when they publicly expose the culprits, which can deter potential future infringement attempts. We all benefit by that.

Camcorder Digital Camera Bag Black & Gray

Camera Bag: Ideal for your camcorder, digital or 35 mm camera and all of your photo accessories! This Ambico BC53GA Camcorder/Digital Camera Bag is designed to fit most small camcorders and compact digital video recorders! Its padded interior.


Composition in photography can be a difficult subject to teach to others. This is because composition can be a deeply personal thing. What appeals to me may not appeal to you.

However, many photographers, beginners in particular, are not happy with the way their photos look. But often they can't quite put their finger on why.

There are plenty of rules and guidelines to help you with composition. Possibly the best known is the Rule Of Thirds. This rule suggests your composition should be divided into a nine-part grid, by running two lines horizontally (a third from the top and a third from the bottom) and two lines vertically (a third from the left and a third from the right). According to the rule, large objects (trees, buildings etc) should be placed on these lines, and small objects are most effective if positioned where the lines intersect.

Photos composed around these guidelines have a balanced look. Objects seem to appear exactly where your eye expects to find them. So when you build a composition around the Rule Of Thirds, your photo satisfies the viewer's natural sense of proportion.

Some people have an innate sense of visual balance. They have a natural flair for creative composition that does not need to be guided by rules. However, if you were to examine their photos, you would be sure to find that most of their photos fitted the rule perfectly - even if they were not aware of it.

If you are a beginner in photography and still struggling with composition, the Rule Of Thirds is an excellent place to start. I recommend to every beginner to learn it, practice it, get so familiar with it that you start to apply it without even thinking. Then, once you are truly comfortable with the Rule Of Thirds - ignore it about half the time.

Recently a man walked into my gallery, and before I even said hello I heard him telling his friends: "You see, this is a good photo because it fits the rule of thirds. This is a bad photo because the kangaroo is right in the middle. This sunset is no good because the horizon is too low when it should be here, a third of the way up..."

This man was obviously an ardent devotee of the Rule Of Thirds. For him, anything that stepped outside the boundaries of the rule was automatically a bad photo. But is composition really so simplistic? Of course not.

The real world is not nearly so neatly organised as the Rule Of Thirds. More importantly, being creative means finding your own way to express the character of a subject, which may not always require a traditional approach.

I can give you two very simple examples from my own collection. One of my outback photos has a very detailed foreground, and some tall bushes in the background. I have positioned the horizon right through the centre of the photo. If I raised it higher, I would have lost the foreground. If I dropped it lower, the tops of the bushes would be cut off. In this case, the composition was influenced by the circumstances.

The other example is a sunset photo. The sky in this photo is truly spectacular. I dropped the horizon very low so the colours of the sky fill the frame. Had I set the horizon in the 'correct' place, according to the Rule Of Thirds, one third of the picture would be totally black. Not only would this be wasted space that did nothing for the photo, it would also diminish the impact of the sky.

Choosing to ignore the Rule Of Thirds is not the same thing as not being aware of it. In each case when taking a photo I would consider the Rule Of Thirds, and judge whether its application will make my picture better, or worse. If I choose to ignore it, it is a deliberate method of adding impact to the composition, possibly by drawing attention to a particular feature like the sky in my sunset photo.

So, back to my earlier statement. If you are struggling with composition, the Rule Of Thirds may be the best thing you ever learn. Not because you should use it for every photo (you shouldn't) but because you should have the judgment to know when to use it and when to ignore it. That way, when you choose to compose your photo differently, it is not just a clumsy mistake, but a creative choice to improve the impact of the photo. Once you cross that threshold, your photography will become a true expression of your artistic eye.

Composition, aperture, shutter speed, depth of field...all the essentials of good photography seem simple when they are explained in terms you can understand.

We can never deny the fact that there are certain instances that our pet dogs are cuter than they already are. But if you want to make sure that you will enjoy the look forever, you might want to take some puppy pictures to capture these moments for you, your family, and your friends to enjoy.

But taking puppy pictures might not be as easy as you think. Telling your dog to pose is like telling a fish to swim up a waterfall. They never stay in one place or maintain a pose long enough for you to take their pictures. If you are having problems, then here are some tips that should help you take the perfect puppy pictures for your collection:

Tip # 1: Observe Your Pet

Like us humans, our pet dogs also have their own habits and routines as they go through life. They always have this special place to rest, or a favorite spot to play. They even have preferences on what toys to play around with.

You need to observe your pet on these habits so that you can easily anticipate their next move and determine the opportune moment to take their pictures. Whether they are sleeping, eating, or playing around, you need to know how they will react so that you can grab your camera when they are showing the signs.

Tip # 2: Look for The Perfect Setting

Amateur shots are good and all, but planning how you want to puppy picture to look is the best way to get a quality photo of your pet. Rather than following their every move, why don't you try to put them in a place that will provide the perfect setting for a photo shoot.

Leave them in the area so that you can observe how they react to the place. Observe their moves so that you will know what they like in the setting and base your shots according to their preference. You might to ask someone that your pet is familiar with to play with them while you are taking their pictures. Brief your friend on your specification so that they can guide your pet to the angle that you will find suitable for a shot.

Tip # 3: A Camera For Moving Pets

Since your pet is always on the move, then you might want to use a camera perfect for shooting moving subjects. You don't necessarily have to buy one for this purpose; you can borrow from your friends and family members just for this special occasion -- or any more like it.

You might want to get a camera with a high shutter speed so that you can accurately take a good picture of your pet while they are playing around. Digital cameras with an LCD screen would be perfect so that you can easily adjust to your pet's movements.

Canon Powershot A1000IS 10MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Blue)

The sleek design of the PowerShot A1000 IS is as refreshing as a breath of fresh air. Better still, its highendfeatures make everything simple: theres the 10.0-megapixel resolution and powerful 4x optical zoomlens with Optical Image Stabilizer for sharpness along the full zoom range. A DIGIC III Image Processorwith Canon Face Detection automatically lets every face stand out. Easy Mode and Easy Playback makethis camera a marvel of simplicity. With a bright 2.5-inch LCD, its available in four two-toned colors.


Much of my work involves shooting photos for newspapers and business journals. When I show up for an assigned photo shoot, I often find my subjects as interested in the camera I use as they are in having me take their picture.

Admittedly, my professional single lenses reflex camera makes a good appearance. It is relatively large and heavy, has an impressive zoom lenses with a vibration reduction feature to keep it steady, a big battery pack, and a compact speed light that can brighten up the darkest room.

The camera envy often dissipates though when they ask what an outfit like that costs, and I tell them more than $3,000. What novice camera enthusiasts don't recognize is that this kind of professional equipment is way more than they need for good photos of family, vacation views and scenic landscapes.

Experience has taught me that when buying a new digital camera six points things should be kept in mind.

1. Basic camera types
The two main types of cameras, from lower-cost to higher-end is point-and-shoot and SLR (single lenses reflex). In the point-and-shoot end, the view is usually through a view finder which gives the photographer a good idea of what will be on the final photo. The SLR lets you look right through the lens to compose a photo exactly as you want the final view to look.

2. Size and ease of use
Do you want to be able to shove the camera in a pocket, purse or tote bag to have it handy whenever you want to whip it out? Or, ask yourself if you would mind a heavier camera that should be kept in its own leather pouch? Consider how heavy a camera might feel after having it hang around your neck or on a shoulder strap fora couple of hours. Can you just whip it out and shoot your photo, or do must you make adjustments in settings? You photo opportunity might be gone by the time you fiddle with dials and settings.

3. Pixels versus your end product
A few years ago, the amount of pixels (which determines the amount of digital information captured), governed the cost. One or two megapixel cameras were fine for viewing photos on a computer screen and sharing over the internet. If you are going to be satisfied just getting 4-inch by 6-inch prints, anything over two megapixels will meet you needs.

If you want to have enlargements made to hang on the wall or in a picture frame, you should look for a camera with four megapixels or better. The more information a camera can capture (megapixels), the higher the quality of an enlargement will be. Today, with technology advances and competition for new camera buyers, even moderately priced cameras have six-to eight-megapixel sensors.

4. What's your budget?
Just like cars, cameras can come with a ton of options. Be careful, though, that don't get stuck with more camera than you can afford. While the high-end cameras offer the best zoom and more megapixels, that doesn't always mean a better photo, and the added features can take a huge bite out of your wallet if you are not careful.

It is probably better to start out with a low-end camera and concentrate on learning the basics of good photography. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the results in your family snapshots if you follow the tips in one of the beginner photo instruction books found everywhere.

5. My biggest piece of advice
The best photos last for only and instant. Good photographers can learn to watch for expression, a good pose and just the right angle. Inevitably, I can get a better photo that someone standing next to me with a low-end point-and-shoot. That's because of lag time.

When I see just the expression or pose I want, I press the shutter button and the reaction time of the camera is as close to instantaneous as possible. Point and shoot cameras vary in the time they take to focus and respond to the press of the shutter button. Often, a pre-flash is needed to measure the amount of light needed to capture a subject in an indoor setting. It's not unusual for a second or two lag time in some cameras - long enough that more shots are lost than captured just right.

Study the technical specifications and consider that shutter lag time, or ask a competent sales person to help you find the best camera, weighing that lag time against cost. Better to give up other features to get a fast response from your camera's shutter.

6. Final advice
Spend time on the internet and do your homework. There are a myriad of sales, review and educational sites that will give you all the information you need to make a wise decision. Before going to see a camera store sales person, or before ordering over the internet, educate yourself.

The time you spend in that advance research will help you make the best of all decisions in you camera purchase.

Canon WP-DC24 Waterproof Case for Canon Powershot SD790IS Digital Cameras

Specially designed to protect your PowerShot Digital Camera from sea water and sand / Reliable and easy to use / Up to 130-Feet


Introduction to digital photography

Make no mistake, digital photography is here, its big, and its the way things will be from now on. People use digital photography in their work every day:- police officers, real estate agents, insurance agents, fire fighters, scientists and doctors, just to name a few.

Digital photography has come a long way in a few years. Digital photography, as opposed to film photography, uses electronic devices to record and capture the image as binary data. Digital photography has also been adopted by many amateur snapshot photographers, who take advantage of the convenience of the form when sending images by email, placing them on the World Wide Web, or displaying them in digital picture frames.

Digital photography was used in astronomy long before its use by the general public and had almost completely displaced photographic plates by the early 1980s. Digital photography enables you to experiment with the camera settings, different styles of images can be tried out, learn t from and techniques improved all without the expense of film processing.

Some other devices, such as mobile phones, now include digital photography features. With the acceptable image quality and the other advantages of digital photography (particularly the time pressures of vital importance to daily newspapers) the majority of professional news photographers have begun capturing their images with digital cameras.

Other commercial photographers, and many amateurs, have enthusiastically embraced digital photography because they believe that its flexibility and lower long-term costs outweigh its initial price disadvantages. Almost all of the cost of digital photography is capital cost, meaning that the cost is for the equipment needed to store and copy the images, and once purchased requires virtually no further expense outlay.

The biggest advantage of digital photography over traditional film include: Instant review of pictures, with no wait for the film to be developed: if there's a problem with a picture, the photographer can immediately correct the problem and take another picture.

Customer Review: Love this camera!
This camera is awesome. It is great in low light and I can still ghost images which I prefer doing. I've gone to the dark side (digital) and I really enjoy it. This is my first DSLR.
Customer Review: Performed as Expected
The first time I saw the Canon EOS 5D was back in 2005, shortly after it was released. To me, it represented the logical digital version of a full-frame 35mm SLR at a fraction of the cost of the top-of-the-line offerings from Canon and Nikon. I purchased the kit, which includes the EF 24-105mm zoom lens, for a trip to Japan, with the intent of using this as my primary walk around camera. It performed as expected: the 24mm wide angle was very useful, as was the 105mm. Resolution, color balance, etc. were very good to excellent. Indoor exposures with ISO 400 were excellent, and IS system worked well, since I did not bring a tripod. (I also brought the 100mm macro lens and 100-400mm zoom lens from Canon for the trip).


There are many answers to that question, the most basic of which, is something comfortable! Babies and young children are antsy enough without us forcing them to wear something itchy, tight, unwieldy or hot. Besides comfort, there are many other things to consider when dressing your little angels for portraits.

  1. The Birthday Suit-Newborns and babies have gorgeous skin, and nothing shows off that natural, innocent creature like nakedness. An added bonus for slightly older babies, is that eyes tend to stand out more when they are not overpowered by clothing, and, let's face it, some of us tend to make our babies look silly in outfits that either don't fit, or that look more like costumes than clothing.
  2. Mostly White Clothing-This is a popular look for baby and children portraits. All white clothing gives a clean and natural look to the images, and is a great way to create a classic portrait that captures the purity of childhood. This is a common choice for family portraits, as well. White clothing works great for outdoor photos as well as in-studio portraits with a white backdrop.
  3. Bold Colors-Don't be afraid to put your baby or child in bold colors or prints. Although we generally wouldn't recommend a bright print for an adult (or newborns,) vivid colors on young children will result in a playful, lively portrait, especially primary colors like red, blue, and green. (Take a chance with yellow only if you know it is flattering against your child's skin color.) Bright colors really pop against the greens of nature, so consider a meadow or woodsy area for your photos.
  4. Avoid Stripes-Stripes can wind up looking distorted in the final image, and, like bright prints, can be a distraction from the subject.
  5. Layering clothing can be a stylish effect.
  6. Multiple Children or Family Portrait-Here is where it becomes important to avoid prints. Typically, you don't want loud, distracting clothing in a portrait since it tends to lead the eyes away from the subject. It's nice, in a multi-person or family photo, to try and coordinate clothing so that colors and styles complement one another. For instance, you don't want one child wearing wintry clothing and the other in shorts and t-shirt, or one wearing a nice dress and the other wearing ratty-old tennis shoes. Choosing clothes with same or similar colors unifies the picture and keeps the focus on the persons in the picture.
  7. Accessories and Props-Finally, I've done some adorable portraits of children wearing hats, tiaras, scarves, fairy wings, even tutus. If your child wears his Superman cape everyday, maybe you should let him wear it in a few pictures. Why not? You want pictures that capture that your little guy really is, right? Besides, he may be much more willing to take other non-cape pictures afterwards. Props can be great addition, too, so consider bringing your child's favorite book, stuffed animal or toy.

Be sure to discuss your expectations with your photographer before you hire him or her. It's important to make sure you are both on the same page, and he or she can share additional tips that have worked well for the location you've chosen.

Canon PowerShot SD1000 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Black)

Canon looked to the very first ELPH for inspiration when designing the PowerShot SD1000 Digital ELPH, and came up with a quintessential iteration of the icon: slim, clean-lined and fully flat. Inside, the SD1000 Digital ELPH looks only to the future: 7.1 megapixels, a 3x optical zoom and advanced DIGIC III ensure top-quality images, while focus is fast and sharp and red-eye is automatically corrected. The large and more colorful LCD screen now has a tough, anti-reflective coating that makes it as durable as it is beautiful.
Customer Review: best camera for a great price
When I was shopping for cameras, of course, i wanted the best, easiest to use, for the best price. This camera takes excellent photos, and has many great photo options, including selective color! The digital Macro setting for taking close up shots (ex. flowers, bugs, jewelry) is the best ive ever seen on any point and shoot camera. Great for college kids, or someone just needing a nice point and shoot camera. Highly recommended!
Customer Review: cute size, bad canon quality
I'd like to say this was a happy camera to be with, but after a few months it petered out with the dreaded 'lens error'. I decided to write a review because i think there has got to be a bug in the price, i bought mine dec 07 and it was 170 bucks brand new. 300+ for this hunk of crap? I have a 450 that has withstood snow, sand, dirt, and rocks for several years with barely a mark. This one wasn't even close to a beach when the lens got stuck and wouldn't retract.. Canon needs to install a force sensing circuit on their bellows claw so that the motor doesn't jump the track when its got a lens obstruction. It wasn't the case on mine, but the it still would help.


Saying goodbye is never easy. What's important to remember when the ones we love are lost, are the good times we shared while they were here. Focus on the happy memories. Regale all the funny stories. Recall the special moments that meant so much. What better way to commemorate the life of those we loved than in pictures? But not just any pictures. A snapshot is too still. A matted frame is too motionless. Only a photo set on canvas can make your memories come to life. When looking at your canvas photo, you'll feel as though you and Grandpa are on the lake again, hardly catching any fish, but having the time of your lives! Canvas photos are an artistic and endearing way to relive those magical moments caught on film.

Canvas photos are an easy and affordable memoriam. Begin by remembering those moments most special to you, and choosing photographs that capture these times. Perhaps a family vacation, holiday gathering, or anniversary party. Photo artists will then transfer your picture onto smooth canvas and wrap it seamlessly around a sturdy frame. Frames are typically available in a range of sizes, from an 8 x 10 tabletop photo to a 20 x 30 portrait perfect for the mantelpiece. And they are truly an economical option. With prices ranging from $25 to $100, these unique photos are affordable memorabilia. Made to outlast any ordinary matted frame, canvas photos are guaranteed to stand the test of time. They make the perfect heirloom to pass down from generation to generation.

Canon EOS 40D: The Rocky Nook Manual

Your new Canon EOS 40D arrives, gets unpacked, batteries are fully loaded, and you are ready to go. For the next few weeks you will be in experimental mode, trying out your camera "and you often end up with a basic and limited set of functions and modes, which you will use for the rest of the camera's life.

Get the full 40D-Experience with this book. Learn to master this magnificent camera, and learn it the photographer's way; from the basics of exposure and metering to focus modes, live view, bracketing, continuous shooting, and flash photography. Also learn how to set up your camera menus for different shooting situations, and see the outstanding images that can be achieved with these settings.

So you're looking for an mp3 player to buy but how do you know which one is the right one? Try doing a search online and you'll notice that you find quite a few sellers that have these no name mp3 players available. So which mp3 player should you buy from the bunch? Let's ask the real question... what are your specific needs for an mp3 player?

As a seller both online and offline I have found that many buyers will go for the sleekest looking mp3 or mp4 player that they find. It's not that the specifications don't count, but from much of the data I gathered over the years; the fashion statement seems to be the big deciding factor for most.

So now getting into it, what would you like your mp3 player to do for you? There are a couple of questions you may need to ask yourself before going online to buy yourself one.

How would you like your player to be used? This will lead you into the right direction in purchasing your player. Do you think your mp3 player will be in everyday use or will it be something you just use on occasions? If there is no particular everyday use on the mp3 player then try settling for something on the lower end of the list and save yourself some money. A lot of folks will buy something that they never end up using to its full capacity. The goal is to squeeze every last bit out of your purchase!

How deep are your pockets? Some few years back there where only a handful of mp3 players available or advertised on the market. Now when you come online there are hundreds of them in all sizes, styles and formats at a much lower cost. If you're pockets are deep and you know your mp3 player will be of heavy use then splurge! Go ahead and get the best one you can find. But be smart about it, you can find mp3 players online now with much higher capacities and capabilities for a bargain.

What will be your main purpose for your music player? Besides music, some players come with added functions that offer a lot more. I would say if it's purely music you're after then you should go with the simplest version, with these you'll get an excellent bargain and a solid mp3 player that complements your needs nicely.

If it's the total package you're looking for, you should try an mp4 player. They work great! You can a find them with so many added functions, it makes it worth while to have. You can look into one of those cool touch screen mp4 players that offer the most features. These touch screen players come equipped with so much and have the added fashionable sleek look that can make it pass for a camera.

Take in account your personal interests, likes or dislikes, if you're buying it for a child take the age into consideration. Combine it all together and go for the best value. You'll end up noticing that you can narrow your search down quit a bit and picking an mp3 player becomes a whole lot easier.

Ever seen the no name mp3 players online? You may have read or heard about them but can you trust them? Read about these discount mp3 players before you buy at http://www.music2urearz.com

Camcorder Digital Camera Bag Black & Gray

Camera Bag: Ideal for your camcorder, digital or 35 mm camera and all of your photo accessories! This Ambico BC53GA Camcorder/Digital Camera Bag is designed to fit most small camcorders and compact digital video recorders! Its padded interior.


You can generate great income from your photography hobby; it is easy to start a rewarding photo selling business online. Forget about the general misconception that you need to be a professional to do this because the truth is that you do not need to be a professional to do this, all you need your digital camera and access to a computer with an internet connection.

Many users such as advertisers, designers, journalists and many more all want fast ways of getting hold of photos in digital form and for a reasonable price. They go straight to those sites that allow members to upload their digital photos for sale and download from there. Yeah, this is where you come in because the photos submitted at these sites are by professionals and amateurs alike. These sites will pay each time someone downloads a photo that you have submitted, and they will receive a share of the amount paid and the rest comes to you. Also in some cases you might receive offer for a lump sum to buy the full rights which sometimes can be a very handsome payout.

Some tips you can use to apply to make sure that your photo receives a high download rate are:

1. Try focusing your shot on only one object or subject so as to make it possible for the main subject of the photo to be determined. Make sure that the subject portrays the feeling you are trying to capture.

2. Get a little closer, do not be shy. One of the biggest mistakes most beginning photographers make is shooting from so far away. They leave too much distance between themselves and their subjects. Instead, get up close and personal. Fill up as much of the camera frame, with your subject, as you can. You can always reshape, trim, and resize a good quality shot. But you cannot continue to blow up a distant subject and hope that it will come into focus. It just won't happen.

3. Subject placement. Most people place the subject at the exact center of the frame. There is nothing wrong with this. However this often leads to a bland and uninteresting picture.

Based on the above tips and some common sense you will surely be able to come up with a decent photo that will be appealing to the person looking at it. Remember that searchers are looking for different things so you should be open minded and take photographs of not just one type of object or place.

Delkin Snug-It, Silicone Digital Camera Skin for the Canon SD750 & Ixus 75, White, with Neck & Wrist Straps

These attractive Delkin camera skins take protection far beyond the competition. Snug-Its incorporate a revolutionary new design feature. Intricate molding results in flexible silicone petals that protect the lens itself. Other skins only have a cutout to allow the lens to expand and retract - the exclusive Snug-It lens petals open and close over the lens as it moves in and out. No other camera skin offers protection this complete. Snug-It skins are custom molded, ensuring a perfect fit and full functionality for every camera model. All controls are molded into the skin, which makes usingthe camera simple. Need to change a battery, replace a memory card or hook up the camera to a computer? All standard camera functions are easily used without removing the skin.* Snug-It skins come with a plastic LCD cover to keep debris off and prevent scratches and fingerprints to the camera's screen. Cameras with touch screens are accommodated with a clever swing open design for the LCD cover, allowing easy access. A stylus is included to prevent fingerprints on the LCD. The high quality silicone is smooth, not tacky, and resists lint and debris far more than other camera skins. Smudges or any dirt that may be picked up are simply wiped off the skin. The premium silicone allows easy insertion of the camera into its specially molded Snug-It, and then into a pocket or bag. Snug-It skins are available in stylish black, white and pink and will be ava
Customer Review: Delkin Snug it Silicone Skin
Excellent product - excellent service! So convenient, non slip and fits right in your pocket or purse.
Customer Review: Excellent Case
The case fits the sd750 snugly and securely. The buttons are molded into the silicone, so there is a nice tactile feedback to button presses. Also, the camera is much easier to hold onto with the case on. Easy to remove and reinsert. However, this case should be considered only as a defense against dust and small impacts. Water droplets can easily get between the case and the camera in splashy environments.


There are some really simple and easy things that you can do to improve your digital photography. Follow these few small things and watch your digital photos come to life.

1. Locate your subject off center in your photo. Nothing is more boring than static composition. By having your subject off the center of you picture, you will create a more interesting photo.

2. Eliminate distracting elements. Sometimes it is as simple as picking up a piece of trash in the foreground. Other times you may have to change your camera angle to eliminate distracting elements in your shot. The most common distraction that I see is having a tree or telephone pole growing out of the subjects head.

3. Stop shooting everything from eye-level. This is another thing that makes pictures boring. You can always climb a ladder and get a bird's eye view or on the ground and get a bugs eye view. You can also turn the camera on it's side and create a vertical rather than the horizontal view that is so common. By trying different angles, you may create a much more interesting photo.

4. Use flash in the sunlight. If your subject is in deep shadow, you can use your flash to fill-in those dark areas and bring out detail. It is a simple technique that professional photographers use all of the time to create a balance between the highlights and the deep shadow areas. It will give your photos a professional touch. Sometimes the pros will carry a whiteboard or a reflective umbrella to create the same effect. The advantage of a reflector is that you have more control over the amount of fill light that you are using.

5. Back in the day, I was a newsphotographer and we had a saying-film is cheap. Well, with digital cameras, memory is even cheaper. Take lots and lots of pictures. Photograph your subject from every possible angle and then keep shooting some more. You can never be sure when you have gotten just the right angle and just the right expression on your subject's face. The thing that makes this really easy today is that you can immediately review your photographs and delete any that are less than perfect. You don't have to worry about the cost of film so shoot away and give yourself a chance at making a really great photograph.

6. Always carry a tripod. Sometimes, you may want maximum depth of field (both the foreground and background in focus) this requires a very small aperature and often a very long exposure. If you don't want the picture blurry, the tripod will save you. Also, if you are using a long zoom lens, camera shake is multiplied by the length of your zoom. In order to prevent blur, a tripod becomes an absolute necessity. It holds the camera firmly and your photos won't suffer from camera shake.

Try these few tips out, they are ones that the pros use everyday and they are really simple things to do.

Stan Pontiere has been an avid photographer since childhood. Having worked for the likes of the Associated Press and The New York Times and an instructor of photography at a college back east, I have enjoyed the transition from film to digital photography.

It seems nowadays, we see the launch of a new digital camera that is designed to please digital photography enthusiast -- newbie and expert -- all over the world. Earlier this year, Sony revealed its latest Alpha digital SLR, A200. The company announced the Sony Alpha 200 as an entry-level model but with serious intentions. The digital camera is developed a tool for those photographers that like to take their shooting skills to a higher level and grow to a higher segment. This article will give a glimpse of DSLR Alpha 200's feature, which includes its high resolution and easy shooting option

Like many mass marketed digital cameras from company as big as Sony, they promote upon the high resolution that is offered and how high the image quality produced. The Sony Alpha 200 has the established 10 megapixel Sony CCD but inherits the Alpha 700 image parameters and noise reduction through BIONZ image processing. Sony A200 autofocus improvement is on the list of changes from the Alpha 100 that it replaces. Aside from its high image quality, the A200 also offer some great options to improve photography experience.

The DSLR-A200 is a worthy competitor in the entry-level market, offering awesome image quality, robust performance, great ergonomics and loads of useful exposure options. One feature that stands out is the Super SteadyShot option. This option is designed reduce blurry picture taken from shaky hands, thus relieving the worries for those digital photography enthusiasts with unsteady hands.

As you can probably tell by now, even these are just SOME features that Sony A200 has to offer. Regardless on the high pixel and steady shooting feature it has, do keep in mind that the Sony Alpha 200 (A200) is an entry level digital SLR and shall not be compared with mid-range digital SLR such as Olympus E3, Canon 40D or Nikon D300.

Opteka 2.2x High Definition² Telephoto Lens for Canon PowerShot A570 A590 IS Digital Camera

Nothing changes the way you see the world like High Definition², and no company does High Definition² like Opteka. In the professional setting, Opteka's glass optics define High Definition. Change the way you view the world. Enjoy outstanding detail, enjoy enhanced clarity, enjoy Opteka. Since it fits right over your camera's existing lens system, a telephoto converter affects the zoom range of your camera's lens. A 2.2x converter will double your camera's maximum focal length, bringing things twice as close.
Customer Review: Opteka makes an awesome Telephoto lens
This lens definitely brings it in closer and with clarity. The only drawback is the vignetting at normal focal point. Loses the "tunnel" after 0.5x's zoom. Other than that though GREAT! Makes the pictures even better in my opinion! A must get!
Customer Review: An Outstanding Accessory With Only Minor Limitations
I purchased this Opteka 2.2x telephoto lens for $30 plus $8 freight from 47th Street Photo, for use with my Canon Powershot A570IS. The Opteka is very nicely finished. It comes with two lens caps, a nice bag, and (in this case, it may vary by camera model) a 52mm extension tube. It's performance is outstanding. Shooting with the Telephoto from 35mm (it vigenets at this focal length only)to 140 x 2.2 it was without distortions and has great depth of field. Using the additional 4x digital zoom I it was very sharp through 3x. 4x was slightly soft which may have been more the product of the wide area of auto focus. At the higher magnifications it does need a monopod, tripod or a stout tree. The lens will block part of the optical viewfinder, but the top vertical line, two side lines are still visable and you can use the LCD Monitor for a full view. Surprisingly it does not "stack" like my old 200mm did. This Opteka lens is four or five times better than my old Vivitar 2x Telextender. Having dragged two Nikkor FTN bodies and six prime lens over many western National Parks this is an great lens, it's an outstanding value. As a additional bonus, the extension tube if left on, does not vignette at 35mm and takes my Nikon 52mm filters and poloriod filter. How often do you need more than 140mm x2 digital or x3 digital? When you do, this Opteka 2.2 is an excellent inexpensive way to go.


Photography has become a fine art and photographers increasingly rely on devices like the digital camcorders to bring out a life like quality to pictures. There are so many minute specifications and adjustments embedded into these cameras that the end result is simply astonishing. If digital cameras are an improvement on the old cameras, then the digital camcorders are a neat combination of digital camera and a camcorder. They are special because they can capture both still images and videos.

Thanks to the digital camcorder even amateur photographers can produce photographs of a professional quality. Before capturing a picture the viewfinder will help us to view the picture in all the glory of a colour print. Adjustment therefore becomes very simple. An LCD display a little more than 2.5 inches offers us high quality results.

There is also a compact recording device that is supported by the HDD format. The memory stick duo is a flash memory card that helps us to store data. Images can be zoomed optically or digitally using the zoom lens. A mini DV cassette is used as storage media in some brands. The storage media can be maintained with the help of a head cleaner. More images and video clips can saved using the multi media card and secure digital card.

There are features like the touch screen control, built in speakers, auto power save, progressive shutter system etc in a digital camcorder. There is also a digital noise reduction feature to filter the unwanted disturbance in the audio recording. There are advanced shooting modes like beach and snow, frame movie, spotlight, digital photo and manual. The special effects are art, auto fade, mirror, mosaics, slim stretch and tracer. Images can be effectively faded as black, overlap and window wipe. The pictures are vivid and true to life. The effect is therefore quite stunning.

If one is looking for more compact sized cameras with all the required features then the pocket digital camcorder is the best option. The LCD monitor is replaced by the viewfinder and the image can be zoomed up to 8x. It has an integrated memory and video input too. There is a rotating display form and CMOS sensor. It has a sensor resolution of 5 pixels. The multi media card and secure digital card can be supported. The special effects also include black and white, sepia and negative. All these features are found in a device that is as light as 160 grams.

Canon WP-DC3 Waterproof Case for Canon SD630 Digital Camera

Use this case to take underwater shots at depths of up to 40 m (130 feet) or taking worry-free pictures in the rain, at the beach, or on the ski slopes
Customer Review: High quality waterproof case
This has worked great in Ocean and freshwater for me for both snorkeling and scuba diving (to 30 feet). As the camera itself has an underwater setting, the photos came out bright, and clearly reflecting the actual experience. The instructions were concise, and easy to follow. Keeping everything watertight is as simple as making sure all the mechanisms are locked. Great product!
Customer Review: Awesome Case!
This case is great. My wife bought it for her camera and we took it on a diving trip. Worked awesome!


Did you know that you could sell photos of the beach? Many people want these photos and will pay for them. Beach stock photos are not difficult to take at all. The beach is one of those places where nearly anybody with a somewhat good eye can take great pictures at. If you have a somewhat good eye you can reap the profits of selling your photos online.

To sell your photos simply submit them to various stock photo agencies. These agencies will pay you every time your photo is downloaded. You can sign up to be a photographer for free and start uploading your photos right away. There are some guidelines and regulations so be sure to check those out.

When taking beach photos you can take the usual beach photos that everyone else takes. This will make for very competitive images that everyone else has. You will have to do better than average to be highly successful. Rather than take the usual beach photos of the sand and the water with a sunset try some different variations.

Try building a stock photo collection of beach photos. Fill in the gaps that are missing with beach photos on the stock agencies. For example, do the stock photo agencies have a good supply with children in the sand? How about sand castles? Or how about people playing volleyball at the beach? What about a picnic at the beach?

Fill in these gaps and you will have no competition and whenever someone wants the photo of sand castles they'll have no choice but to get your image.

Selling your photos of the beach can be very rewarding. Don't expect to get rich right away. It'll take time. The more quality and quantity photos you have the more you can make.

What You Don't Know About Solar Powered Chargers

As the environment and the need to protect it becomes more main stream, the increase in eco-friendly products has exploded over the past few years. Green alternatives to standard products are becoming more and more common.

Solar Power Chargers

Solar Power technology is rapidly coming down in price and making it affordable to the masses. Many new solar powered devices are now flooding the market as cheaper alternatives than electrical plug-ins.

Countries like Spain, France, Australia and South Africa already use solar technology in many areas including street lighting and water tank heating.

Solar Powered Chargers can be found in many electrical stores and on websites as an alternative to mains powered chargers. There are a number of large reputable brands in the marketplace already who have developed universal portable solar chargers, which have many uses. Imagine the following scenarios:

So why would you buy one?

As an explorer, extreme sportsman or a tribesman you are unlikely to have a means to charge your mobile phone in case you need to call for help. You can be very isolated from civilisation and the emergency services that they provide, so the ability to keep your mobile phone charged as a lifeline is paramount. The solar power charger does exactly this and has helped many people around the world already.

Solar power chargers work particularly well for small devices, as the power needed is significantly less. So solar power can now be used as a direct replacement for rechargeable batteries. The solar panel means you'll never have to rely on the power grid to use your phone.

How does it work?

In an ideal world, you need a good 8 to 10 hours of direct sunlight to fully charge the battery of your solar powered charger which you can then use it to charge your mobile phone each night. If you don't have direct sunlight, solar powered chargers will charge in cloudy conditions, but if it's cloudy expect it to take 24 to 48 hours for a charge. The internal battery can hold a charge for up to one year, so you could charge it once, throw it in a drawer and use it in an emergency to charge your phone which is more often than not when your mobile phone hasn't been charged and you need it most!

Generic solar powered chargers comes with a cable that uses a variety of tips for Nokia phones, Motorola and USB powered devices such as iPods and iPhones.

The biggest positive of a solar powered charger is cheap charging, you benefit from unlimited recharging of a variety of electronic devices for free. Solar powered chargers are also a cheap form of insurance against an emergency whilst doubling as a handy device anytime you might need some extra power.

In a era of wi-fi hotspots and hot desking a solar powered charger makes sense.

Take a waterfall, tall and beautiful. Now visualize a small stream trickling over the edge of a few small stones. If you shoot it just right, they could almost look the same. Wait a minute you're saying, those two are as different as night and day. That's a good point, but unless you also include something to compare the water to, you have no point of reference.

There are times when photographs need something else in the image to truly appreciate what's there. For example: You hike your way into Zion National Park, and see this grand waterfall. You get close to capture all the detail, and shoot against a clear beautiful sky (so the background wont distract.) You tell all your friends about the great adventure, and eagerly await your pictures from the photo lab. When they finally come back, you flip through the shots looking for your master piece. When you finally see it, your heart sinks. It looks OK, but there is no magic, no majesty. Its just not the same.

What happened? When you saw it live, you were there. You climbed over rocks; you walked through streams, and pushed pine branches out of your way. When you looked through the view finder of your camera, these images were also in the back of your mind. The human mind is a wonderful creation; it takes images, sounds, and smells and blends them all into wonderful memories. The problem lies in the limitations of the medium. In other words, we experience in three-dimensions, we document in two-dimensions.

Remember that size is relative. Even a small mountain may seem big compared to a boulder. A boulder is big compared to a rock. A rock is big compared to a grain of sand. But even a grain of sand could appear huge if there was nothing else in the image to compare it to.

Most of us at one time or another has seen an extreme close-up of something that made us think it was something else. Why did we not recognize the item for what it was? Simply put, you had nothing to compare it to. You had no point of reference. This works in both directions, small and large. I'm a big fan of simplifying an image when you can, but there are times when you can simplify too much. Leaving a rock or a branch in the edge of the picture can often mean the difference between a nice shot and a great shot! If you want the person viewing the image to know it was huge, then you need to give them something to visually compare it to.

When you shoot your subject with things going from big to little, or even from little to big, it creates the illusion of depth. The deeper your image appears, the more three-dimensional it appears. The more three-dimensional you image appears the more likely your viewer is to experience at least part of what you did when you took the shot. After all, isnt that why you take photos to begin with? I take photos not to remind me of what happened, but to share with others who were not there. Maybe Im strange, but I believe in order for someone to get the big picture, they need to see the small details, (like having something in the picture to visually compare everything else to.)

Experimental art forms are nothing new. Throughout the ages, anything that was introduced into society at that time was considered new and sometimes extraordinary, even offensive by a few. There always seems to be that critical minority that don't want to jump on the bandwagon, that fail to see the importance of artistic development. Consider that, once upon a time, a decent woman did not gasp! pose nude for oil paintings or sculptures. Typically, nude paintings of women produced throughout the Renaissance era made use of prostitutes for models, since a self-respecting woman would never consider removing her clothing for such a vulgar display, a staggering irony considering that these originals are now valued in the millions of dollars.

Contemporary art, also known as modern art has long been a producer of such experimental and innovative displays. Names such as Van Gogh, Monet and Modigliani stand as a testament to the truly unique perspective in visual arts and what it means to both be an artist and to define art itself. That perhaps is the foundation of art. What defines art? By whose standards do we gauge a particular piece and declare it to be worthy of the name and worthy of a purchase for a private or public collection.

Consider some of the pieces that have caused quite a stir in modern times. Pablo Picasso's first foray into the use of cubism, peculiar pieces of work presenting the human anatomy from several perspectives yet all of which are combined into one form caused a mixed reaction among critics. Like champagne, cubism is one of those things you either love or hate, there is simply no in between.

Oliver Payne and Nick Relph were innovate thinkers of the contemporary art world. They are called video artists and their work is featured in such galleries as The Institution of Contemporary Arts in London, England. Their progressive combination of modern technology including photography and videography in the production of modern art has earned the artists an eternal and well deserved niche in contemporary art culture.

The use of digital technology in art is now dominating art culture and has done so with the advent of digital computer animation in the way of such children's productions as Pixar's A Bug's Life and The Lord of the Rings. A good decade and a half of digital technology in art has come to pass and the public and critical response has been entirely positive, a first in art history. Is it art? It is contemporary, sophisticated art that is unparalleled and doubtless will be for some time.

Canon 430EX Speedlite Flash for Canon Pro1, Pro 90, G Series and all EOS SLR Cameras

This exciting new addition to the EOS System combines compact size and affordability with an added dose of features and sophistication. Improving on the previous model, Speedlite 420EX, the new 430EX can now be set into manual flash mode (full power~1/64). Flash compensation can be set on the flash unit, and manual control of the flash zoom head is now possible. Improvements in its circuitry make recycle time 40% faster, and since it is compatible with Canon's wireless E-TTL, it can be used as an affordable "slave unit."
Customer Review: Love it so far
Unfortunately, haven't had as much time to use it as I would have hoped, but from what I've seen so far, I love it. Easy to use. Great quality pictures. The light quality is good; doesn't give you that blast of harsh light like the on camera flash. I tend to like the more golden pics in low light and this seems to maintain some of those tones when bouncing off ceiling. It does make the camera a little xtra heavy though - really noticed it when I put on my zoom lens. That will take some getting used to...and a little muscle building :). Once I get to use it a little more, if there's anything to report, good or bad, I'll check back in.
Customer Review: FLashiness
I am very happy with this flash. Very bright when needed does what it suppose to do. I am not a professional photograher but don't have to be to use this flash works on my S9 as well as my XSi with no hesitation. Reasonably priced highly recommend especially if you aren't wanting to sink the money into the 580 EX.

Customer Review: Simply Wonderful
It's Difficult to make a drawn out, detailed review for this product. Simply because its exactly what they say it is: fast, accurate , reliable data storage. Ive used it in the snow , and in the blistering Arizona dessert, pared with my Xti. I have NEVER had any issues with it, ever. So far I have had 3,000 + images taken, most in raw. The box aquality key chain to hold another memory card and a well built plastic case to hold it. Should I ever need another memory card , or need to recommend a card to a friend , this will be the first , and only memory card on my list.


Back when I first decided to become a professional photographer and get involved with photo marketing on a full time basis, I thought - foolishly - that all I had to do was practice and study all the latest techniques for creating stunning images! Then, once I learned to consistently do brilliant work, my career as a professional photographer would be more or less cast in stone.

Boy was I wrong! If you want to earn great money in photo marketing (I've lost count of how many $1000 days I've had) by becoming a professional photographer and working in the career of your dreams - here are 3 vital things you NEED to know. BTW - you can and should start part time!

First, let me establish a few assumptions on my part. I assume you are interested in photography and that you have dreamed about working in a career that you love.

I also assume that you are either considering/dreaming about becoming a professional photographer or possibly have already tried your hand at photo marketing - at least part time.

Note: I didn't assume you are a brilliant photographer. That was the first huge hurdle I faced when I wanted to start my photo marketing career. I just wasn't that good. I was and still am competent, but I don't see myself ever winning any major creative awards.

I'd shoot and shoot. Remember - this was in the olden days of film, when every shot cost about a dollar after considering time, film, developing and printing costs. No matter how much money I pumped into my "hobby", no matter how many credit cards I maxed out buying the latest and greatest, I just couldn't measure up to the photos I was seeing in all the photo books and magazines.

My dreams of a career as a professional photographer seemed totally out of reach.

Wrong. That's myth #1. You don't need to be Ansel Adams! Just competent!

I don't remember where, but somewhere I stumbled across someone who said, "There's room in professional photography for every skill level."

That sentence changed my life. I'd buy the originator of that little snippet of gold a beer, if I could remember who it was.

For some reason, it really hit home and I decided to give photo marketing a try. Bottom line...I found out that 90% of all your photo shoots are going to be the same types of subjects, lit and posed the same basic ways.

Don't get me wrong, every session you do should be your absolute best work, but save the creative stuff for contests - not day to day photo marketing. (Actually, if you are too creative, your sales will drop. The clients expect traditional portraits and don't like it if you deviate very far from their expectations.)

My second major hurdle to getting started as a professional photographer was getting the money to open a studio. After all, rent is fairly expensive and when you add in decorating the space, signage, hiring a receptionist, utilities and all the other doodads involved in opening a physical studio - it can all be rather daunting. Particularly when you've never done any photo marketing and this dream of becoming a professional photographer is getting more and more expensive by the minute.

Before I launched my photo marketing career, I did a little research and discovered that the best professional photographers do a lot - if not most - of their work "on location"! In other words, they aren't even using the studio! Plus, their customers were so happy the photographer was coming to them, they were willing to pay extra!

So I said to myself, "I can pay a ton of money for a studio I won't be using, or simply do everything 'on location' and get even higher fees! Hmmm...what should I do?"

I've been a professional photographer for over 16 years, have over 6000 past clients and have NEVER opened a studio.

Myth #2 - You need a fancy studio to be a professional photographer. WRONG.

Myth #3 - As a professional photographer, once people see your stunning images they will flock to you with checkbook in hand! WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

Sorry to say it but your images have little to do with your success as a photographer. It's all about your marketing. Once you get your marketing right, people actually will be clamoring for your services, but not before - no matter how good you are.

In fact, many of my best promotions get new customers lining up to be photographed without ever having seen any of my work at all! So, if photo marketing and living your life as a professional photographer sounds even a little intriguing, respond by enrolling in my Part Time Photography newsletter. You'll get a free ebook and daily tips on how you can turn your dreams into cash.

Canon NB-3L Rechargeable Battery Pack for SD550, SD500, SD110, SD100, SD10 & SD20 Digital Cameras

Rechargeable lithium ion battery for use in select Canon cameras
Customer Review: gone fast
I bought this Canon NB-3L Rechargeable Battery Pack for my canon sd550. For this camera model, you need the 2nd battery pack because the power was gone very fast after charging it (not more than 3 times of taking pictures...i didn't mean shutter). Unlike, canon nb-5l that I have for sd 850 IS, I can take the pictures for more than 3 or 4 events at least.
Customer Review: Nothing beats original manufacturer's replacement parts
I'm not one to usually buy anything after market or knock-off, so buying anything but a Canon brand battery wasn't even an option for me. The battery charged quickly and has held a charge thru 50+ pictures and some video. This is the first replacement I bought since buying my camera in 2003, so I'm hoping to get about 3-4 years out of this battery as well - so far, so good.


High speed flash cards, high capacities and only three major companies have them. 300x compact flash cards are the fastest in the market but there are not many who make them. The cream of the crop can be found in this article.

The Transcend Extreme Speed 300x CompactFlash card is one of the fastest available in the market. It is designed specifically for professional photographers but the CF card can be used with anything that is compatible with it. Since it supports Ultra DMA mode operation, it can support very fast transfer speeds of up to 45MB/s. DMA stands for Direct Memory Access which allows the CPU to operate more than one function at a time during data transferring. In a sense, having Ultra DMA would speed up the flash drive because the CPU doesn't have to copy each piece of data from the source to the destination.

So far, there are only 3 major companies that have released these high speed flash cards which are Lexar, Transcend, and Sony where Transcend is the only one that offers a 16GB capacity. Supposedly, all of them can transfer as fast as 45MB/s which are why these CF cards are so expensive. Transcend's flash card sticks out mostly due to the fact that it has an advanced Error Correction Code which correct errors during data transfer automatically. With that function in place, you don't have to worry about the integrity of the pictures that you take. However, you may have to use a third party image recovery software if your card happens to stop functioning.

Lexar's compact flash card includes Lexar Image Rescue 3, which is an image recovery software, when you purchase it from them. I don't know how well it performs but to have this is a short sigh of relief for most consumers because sometimes they might forget to back up their images and lose all their data. Although it includes the software, it shouldn't mean that you should not back your files but it provides a mean of recovery just in case something does happen. Sony also provides support when it comes to image recovery; however, you have to send it back to them to recover the images for you.

Overall, the performance of the compact flash cards is very similar to each other. What make these different from each other are the services that come with the product. I still think Transcend's 300x CF card would be a great choice because of the price. Currently, Lexar is selling the 8GB for $199 but Transcend sells their 16GB for $218.99. You can find it at shop.transcendusa.com for that low price. Each of these companies have been established long enough to have credibility so, you should not worry about the quality of the product. It is entirely up to you to see which one is the best option.
