 So after months of recommending lenses, tri-pods, bags, flashes, batteries, it is truly time to recommend some of the cheapest and most important things for your camera. The equipment to clean your camera! You can invest money after money into your camera and the equipment for it, but not maintaining it can cause incredible damage. Something as simple as a piece of dust in the wrong place can alter or damage your camera. Eventually costing you even more to repair! So, in this recommendation I will be going over the main tips to generally clean your camera. Check out full blog, profile, and links here
Congratulations Linsey Middleton!
Linsey did an amazing job of catching the light in the models eyes and got a luminescent feel with the models hair light. Overall, a beautiful headshot!
Linsey took this shot at our On-location Lighting: Taking the Studio Outdoors on February 19, 2012. This class is a slightly more advanced class than our mid range classes and employs you to use all of your equipment including tri-pods, flashes, etc. and use them with natural light to create a professional and stimulating photograph.
 There are so many lenses to choose from, I have a hard time choosing which one to invest my money into. But, Jason was sure to let me know, if you are comparing lenses you need to consider the following: Value (Price), Quality, Sharpness, and knowing what type of photographer you are. If you are really interested in Macro photography then we have recommended the Tamron 90mm f/2.8 lens in the past. If you love headshots, we have recommended the Canon & Nikon 85mm f/1.8 lens in the past. But, if you are a diverse photographer who wants an incredible lens they can use often or most of the time, Jason recommends the Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8. This lens delivers beautifully sharp images from any focal length range and has a wide/fast aperture, which allows a wide range of composition. Jason was trying to narrow down the scope at which this lens can shoot and he kept going, listing Sports and Action photography, Portrait photography, Headshot photography and the list went on. So, to summarize, this lens is an overall must have! And I quote Jason, “This is a lens everyone should have in their bag”. Check out full blog, profile, links, and photos HERE
 Lately, in our equipment recommendations, you may have noticed us referring George’s Photography Store as your one stop shop to get all your photography equipment and for all your photography needs! It all started with Jason needing to get some equipment last minute for his trip to Iceland, he found George’s online and noticed its close proximity and convenience and of course, that they had been named BEST in both San Diego’s Union Tribune AND City Beat in 2011. Interested and impressed, Jason went in with the intent of looking for one thing, but after entering the store he was hooked. George’s not only had an amazing array of all the photography equipment any photographer would need, but there were many more perks that superseded buying equipment online.
