How YOU can Get Recognition for your digital camera Photo's

In my previous post I wrote about taking new digital camera photos and about taking a break to relax and having a drink on a terras with a beautiful view on a lake with a big water fountain sparkling in the sun.

That brings me on one of the new digital camera idea's:

What do YOU do with your Canon Digital Camera?

Besides Ideas for Making Money with your Canon Digital Camera

Once in a while when there is a birthday (or any other special occasion) I like to mess arround with photo's making a collage out of some carefully selected pictures, usually combined with for example some funny magazine photo's or text fragments and things like that.

Did you recently WON any Photograpy Contests with your Digital Camera ?

Thanks for visiting this Blog, hope you enjoy the posts you find here on this blog and that you are just as interested and enthousiastic about photography as I am.


PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITIONS

Years ago (actually more than 10 years ago I realise now!) I worked as a mini-lab operator in a department shop with a 'sales concept' called 'the PhotoShop'. besides camera's and picture frames people could also buy video camera's and lot's of other photography related products. In that time I also started to take part in Photo Contests and actually won a few of them!

'You might have noticed that at the top of this
Blog you can find a few links to Photo Competition Sites...,'

the Magic Lantern Guide Book, a product that

of the camera as well as lessons
about how to use your digital camera,
it might be an interesting

Moca, Puerto Rico had an Earthquake 5.7 on the Richter Schale, Sometimes even a Tripod doesn't help!

May 16th 3 miles east of Moca Puerto Rico
had an Earth Quake, my last post was about photographing Lava Streams.
But what to do when the earth is moving, luckely it usually
isn't something you have to take into account when taking photographs.

In movie making I do know that they can make use of a 'SteadyCam'
to keep a camera fixed at one point. (even while moving arround.)


'Personally I prefer to avoid
collapsing earth masses or earth quakes'.

So if you want to take photo's without moving your camera,
you definitely want to use a tripod.

Only you better avoid Earth Quake areas.

Just Let Somebody Else Take the Perfect Shot for you!!!

I don't think it's a good Digital Camera idea to suggest to make
'Lava Photo's' like this yourself!

Just One Little Tip for Outdoor Photography with your Digital Camera.

Although it might not be your typical 'Outdoor Photography',
that I am talking about. As far as I know most Airports
are 'Outside' (or atleast outside the door)
I am just calling it 'Outdoors'
for the sake of creating
a catchy Blogpost Title....,

Anyway,

Some years ago I was - 'Outdoors'
- taking photo's very close to the runway
where the Planes where landing.
I picked a great spot where the Jumbo Jets
came flying over pretty close by.

While taking pictures, I was so caught up in it,
that I almost forgot my surroundings,
I saw the Big Jumbo Jet comming closer and closer,
and while making photo's I came
to realise that the engines of
a Jumbo Jet can be pretty loud!

'Than I noticed that this
particular Jumbo Jet
was really flying very low
and was more than close!'

So I begun to wonder:

'Was it just my imagination
or was I really beginning to feel
the heat from the Jumbo Jet Engines....?'

'And that sound of those engines,
wasn't it extremely loud?'

Than I looked over my camera,
and WOW...,

YES, it was very very very close!!!
Than I put my vingers in my ears and
jumped to the ground, an in the process
made a - unfortunately - not so impressive photo
of only an empty sky with only a tiny tip
of a Jumbo Jet Wing :)

'So just one little Tip,
to watch your surroundings
while taking photo's' :)

'Oh...., yeah..., and it goes without saying
that subscribing to an Outdoor Photography Magazine
can be an interesting idea also!!!' :)

Paint a Picture of where you want to go with VISION BOARDING

You might have seen these two books here before,
- scrolling down a few screens -
at the left side of this blog,
(near the section of
the 'Photo Editing Software'..., )

'Talking about SEEING and VISION',

At the Main Blogspot
you must have seen my little eBook

The VISION eBook

it's an eBook about How you can 'ENVISION'
a Happy Lifestyle.

Just as all the BLOGSPOTS
you can find in the directory (under the 'Navigator')
on

the Main Blogspot
as a source of Inspiration, you can create your own VISION BOARD
and use your Digital Camera
as a tool to get
Inspiration

'To 'Paint a Picture' of
where you want to go'.

Starting your own Digital Camera Photography Business

The first thing to think about when starting
a photography business is how to do it
in a legitimate way.

You want a business that will last a lifetime
so you want to start it out right.
So don’t fall for the “get rich quick”
internet schemes or books that claim

They will spill the insider secrets
of other successful photography business.
There are no insider secrets
to this business other than what
you need to know to run any business.
To succeed you have to…

 Pay your dues
 Get your education.
 Learn from the pros.
 Know your stuff.
 Network
 Value your customers.

You can accomplish the first five of these objectives
by going to school and working part or full time
in somebody else’s photography shop.

You may despair at the idea of more school.

But your photography business will be about
more than just cameras, photo shoots and dark rooms.
You have accounting principles to comprehend and execute,
taxes to be paid, a facility to rent,
employees to pay, insurance to worry about,
contracts to sign and all of that other “stuff”
that goes with running a business.

So start early and get some basic business classes
under your belt such as accounting and economics.
It will benefit you dozens of ways
as you march toward success.

Many trades have an apprentice system where
you tutor under a master of the craft.

But it might be a good thing for you to
take this matter into your own hands.
Plan to work for a photography shop
long enough to learn the ins and outs
of running a small business and of running
a photography business.

This gives you the chance to build your knowledge and
exposure to equipment, learn technique
and how to work with your subjects.

In fact, it might be a good idea to deliberately
apprentice at a number of different types of
photography studios before launching out on your own.

So you can learn the ins and outs of wedding photography,
baby photography, fashion photography and others
from specialists all before you spend a dime
of your own money to start your own enterprise.

In this way, you build skills, you build knowledge,
you build experience and you can watch and
take notes of the great things others do
and the mistakes to avoid.

What kind of Photo Shoots or Photo Projects do YOU enjoy the most?

Currently I am still in the process of building
a PhotoStock Catalogue with things like Boats & Buildings
and Nature Photography, like for example Animals
and Flowers

Also Macro Photography is something
that I enjoy because you can make something special
from something that people usually hardly take notice of.

It goes without saying that there are a lot of other
specific areas of photography you could focus on like
for example Fashion Photography,
Art Photography, Macro Photography, Wedding Photography,
or Photographing special events, etc. etc.
the list could go on and on.

QUESTION:

1) What areas of Photography do YOU enjoy?
2) What do you like about it?
3) What Tips do you have from your experience?
4) Can you show us a website link to your results?
(see: Your Online Portfolio)

Photographers Wanted:

If you are looking for Photo Assignments you might like
to have a look at:

www.starnow.com

Since I don't have experience with working with starnow
myself I also would like to ask, if somebody has had any
experience with working with starnow?

5) Did you have any experience with working
on projects you found on starnow?

6) Can you give us a link where we can
see your results?

'What Camera You Use the Most?'

When you click here below you can find them:

Digital Camera Idea for if you want to become world famous with your Photo.

The June 1985 cover of the National Geographic
by Steve McCurry instantly became world famous
obviously the eyes made the Photo famous.

In the link here below you can
See the photo from June 1985 together with
a much more recent Photo:

World Famous Eyes

So evidently your Digigal Camera Idea for world fame,
is to find somebody with
special looking eyes.

It goes without saying that you can start
with taking a Subscription
on National Geographic :)
See Banner-Link here below:



(BTW you can also find other Interesting Subscriptions
on for example 'Outdoor Photographer'
or other products interesting for Photographers,

A Digital Camera Idea without carrying a heavy burden!

Tripods are “unnecessarily bulky” for some
so seldom do people like to bring them around.
Nowadays, there is an ingenious way to settle
the dilemma whether to bring
a tripod around or to
do without it.

'Although my 'Big Tripod'
isn't even that heavy, it still isn't always convenient
to bring it with me all the time'.

So here is where 'the Little one'
comes 'Into the Picture' it's
a tiny little Tripod that fits in
your back pocket and holds your camera
steady in various situations.

(See The Universal Packinglist)

Its legs can be opened on any flat surface
or even on a boulder.

Now, you can be a real photographer
without carrying a heavy burden.

(BTW an other great Travel Companion
would be the highly popular
Canon PowerShot, the one you
can find on the leftside of this blog.)

Just an other Digital Camera Idea: Making you own Online Portfolio

One of the way's to get your work 'Out there'
is to present your work Online.

An online Portfolio is a great way
to be able to easily give people the opportunity
to learn more about your Photographing capabilities.

You can easilly put your website link on
a business card and people can directly
find out all about it.

When using a weblog you can even show
your most recent work, and for example
you could also make some extra money
by advertising workshops
to your loyal readers if you enjoy giving them.
Or how about writing your own - based
on your own experience -
digital camera reviews!!!

So if you like a Canon Digital Camera
(like for example the Canon PowerShot)
or you swear by an Olympus digital camera or rather
like to work with Kodak digital cameras or
you only want to specialise writing about
your experiences with a specific underwater digital camera
simply write your review and put in
your banner links.

(BTW at the left side of this blogspot
you can find a nice 'caurousel widget'
that gives you and opportunity to compare
digital cameras, or atleast gives you a
selection of several cameras so that
you can decide for your self
about what's the best digital camera for you.)

Here below you can find an example
from a TravelPhotographer's Blog:

you might like to take a look at
is
