Photo Printing Options

Judging by the line of people at my local grocery store most digital photographers print their photos outside their homes. It never ceases to amaze me how long people are willing to wait in line for the person in front of them to painstakingly go through each and every shot on store photo kiosks when they could be getting the task done at home. By using Pictbridge-enabled cameras and printers you can avoid the long lines at places such as Wal-Mart and Walgreens. For those of you unfamiliar with the name, PictBridge is the single printing format shared by the … Continue reading →

Reasons To Use Digital Cameras At Your Wedding

I’m not sure digital cameras were even around when I got married. Just kidding. Half-kidding at least. I got married before the digital photography phenomenon evolved into the all-encompassing trend that it is today. These days most couples don’t hesitate to hire wedding photographers who deal exclusively in digital equipment. In fact, a growing number of brides are now actively seeking digital photographers because they want the opportunity to share their wedding pictures online. Old-fashion photo albums are becoming a thing of the past. All the engaged couples I know have already assembled an online site dedicated to their weddings. … Continue reading →

Digital Photography 101: Choosing The Perfect Ultra Compact Camera

I’ve done camera reviews in previous blogs and I have to say that I don’t think you will find a photographer out there who would be willing to admit that there is a “perfect” camera on the market today. As with any electronic device (or any item, really) personal preference plays a huge role in what an individual regards as “perfection.” In offering my reviews of cameras (both digital and standard film) my objection is to list highlight the features and pros and cons of each. Whether you agree with my final analysis is entirely up to you. With that … Continue reading →

Digital Photography 101: The Power of PictBridge and Card Readers

There are a ton of different digital cameras on the market right now and it seems these days there are almost as many printers. The stiff competition among brands inspired PictBridge. PictBridge is a single printing format shared by a large number of major camera and printer makers. Basically, it provides you with the easiest way to print out your digital pictures. For example, if you own a Canon camera and your HP printer speaks PictBridge, you can print pictures in a single step. All you have to do is plug one side of a standard USB cable into your … Continue reading →

Digital Photography 101: The Pros and Cons of Ultracompact Cameras

What photographer (amateur or otherwise) doesn’t appreciate the convenience of being able to slide a camera into a pocket or purse? Can you image having a camera the size of a deck of cards at your disposal? Not having to worry about lugging a bulky camera and extra equipment on a trip to Disneyland or a waterpark? Perfect, right? You’d think so. After all, people who love to take pictures take their cameras everywhere and having a model that is ultra petite and has a high enough resolution to fulfill dozens of multimedia uses is somewhat of a dream come … Continue reading →

Digital Photography 101: Photo Sharing

Sometimes I wonder if my parents lived closer to us if I would take as many pictures of my daughter as I do. Don’t get me wrong; I love to take pictures, and my 3-year-old daughter is my favorite subject, but often I feel compelled to shoot extra (many extra) images because my mom, dad, brothers, grandmother, etc. live 5,000 miles away. So in essence the pictures (and video) of my daughter I send to them are the only tangible means by which they can share in her milestones. Which brings us to the next part in our digital photography … Continue reading →
