Merry Christmas from the Photography Blog! If you are celebrating the day with a new camera I’m sure you’ve been very busy. You don’t have to be a snap happy parent to be experiencing finger fatigue right now. The holidays are a time when most people’s cameras work overtime and for good reason. Think of all the great shots (candid and otherwise) that are captured this time of the year: baby’s first visit to see Santa, your 5-year-old donning a headband with reindeer antlers, your entire family in front of the Christmas tree, your husband tipping over the tree in … Continue reading →

Digital Cameras for Christmas

Do you have someone on your holiday gift list who is requesting a new digital camera? As prices drop (you can get a decent digital camera these days for about $200) it seems as though the number of people without digital cameras is dwindling. The pocket-sized devices are becoming an indispensable part of everyday life and the statistics prove it. According to a recent study, more than 105 million digital cameras were purchased in 2006. So what happens if you have a loved one who is requesting a digital camera for Christmas, but you don’t know which one to get? … Continue reading →

Kodak’s New HD Line

Are you familiar with Oprah Winfrey’s “Favorite Things” show? Each year the talk show queen reveals the products she simply can’t live without and shares them with her audience. A few years ago she gave everyone in her studio audience a new Kodak digital camera. (Where was I?) After I got a look at the new items Kodak is releasing in time for the 2007 holiday season, I had to wonder if some lucky members in Oprah’s audience wouldn’t be walking away with one of them this year. Last month Kodak unveiled two new HD-enabled cameras–the Kodak EasyShare Z812 IS … Continue reading →

Tips For Taking Pictures With Your Camera Phone

I must preface this blog by stating that I am not an advocate of camera phones. Which is not to say that I don’t think the technology is phenomenal and the convenience unparalleled. However, the sacrifices that are necessitated by trying to pack so much into such a small device obviously compromises way too much for me to rely on a camera phone to capture important milestones. Now, that doesn’t mean that I don’t know many people who own camera phones and use them in the same manner that I do my Canon Rebel. Some of my closest friends use … Continue reading →
