Freelance Photographer
 "Taking pictures since childhood, I seriously fell in love with photography when my father got me a Fuji Finepix 2600Z digital camera around Christmas of 2001. Now looking forward to shooting with a DSLR camera, maybe a Canon EOS 300D or a Nikon D70 perhaps when money comes raining down from the heavens. Since the last quarter of 2005, I?e been shooting with a Canon EOS D60. These days, I? into wedding photography working behind Mimi and Karl of fotogra weddings. I am a member of DPX, a group of Filipino digital photography enthusiasts, though presently inactive like the previous paragraph."

Stability and Quality
Tripod and Night Photography
Taking Night shots can be quite tricky, especially under low light conditions. But if it's illuminated, the subject tends to get blurred even with the minutest camera movement. And because we don't want to use Flash at night because it flattens out everything, use a tripod instead. It provides the stability you need to get that night shot right, without the nasty blurs that degrade your photo's quality.

Introduction to Digital Photography

There? little doubt we live in a visual society. Technological strides have made it possible for both professionals and casual users to produce excellent digital photos and video recordings. It is indeed a point-and-shoot world. However, for many consumers, bombarded with jargon and technical numbers, it could just as well be a different planet. We understand that while our customers need to have technical information, they also need to have it in plain language.
To illustrate the advantages of a digital camera, let's compare two people who both go to the same event (an airshow) to take still pictures and motion video.
Bob takes his analog camera and camcorder. He also carries extra tapes, camera film, and an extra camcorder battery or two. He uses the camcorder to record the fly-overs, and then switches to the camera for stills. For important shots, he makes sure to take multiple pictures (to be sure it comes out), and he goes through a couple of rolls of film. After the airshow, he takes the pictures to his favorite one-hour processing center. An hour later, he goes back to the center and pays for the prints. Looking through the prints, he pulls out the unusable pictures -- shots with part of the image cut off, blurred shots or people with their eyes closed or with red-eye, etc. The pictures with red-eye may be able to be touched-up by hand, but the rest are unusable. Having promised to send some pictures to his out-of-state relatives, he goes through the negatives, notes which ones he needs, and goes back to the processing center to pay for additional copies, which he then sends by mail. When done, he puts the prints and negatives in a photo album and stores it on the shelf with the others.
