The Perfect Accessory for Portrait Photography


Learning to use available light in any situation is a skill that takes patience, creativity and practice.  It is also one of the most valuable and rewarding skills to harness as a photographer.  One thing to remember is that it’s better to follow the light than to fight it; if you first identify where the light is coming from and how it falls, you can then decide how to best utilize it for your purposes.

Having a few tools to manipulate light helps as well.  For example, the ProMaster ReflectaDisc5 in 1 Plus kit is the perfect light-taming tool to keep close.  Its versatile style can be used both indoors in studio or outside for field shooting and includes silver, black, white, gold and translucent reflectors. Whether you need to simply diffuse available light or warm up skin tones, this kit will help you best use the available light for your purposes. It also includes an 18% grey panel to help establish optimum white balance.  Everything’s wrapped up nice and tight in the carrying case.

Rent Scenic Backgrounds.com by Westcott


Would you like to save hundreds of dollars and have your images be the talk of the town? If you answered yes, then you've found the right place. Most companies charge about $300.00 to buy one single scenic background that only gives you one look for all the images you take. No one wants their photo to look the same as their neighbors did. Would you?

For only $49.99 (or $29.99 for those of you that most likely have "the coupon code") you could rent 6-10 backgrounds for the same price you could buy just one.

For you senior portrait and fashion photographers, options of over 100 backgrounds can set you apart from your competition ~ that has been using the same bench and garden background for years. Let your client choose backgrounds ahead of time, discuss clothing, then have it shipped in for the shoot and returned within a week.

For the photo enthusiast, get creative! Holiday cards, greeting cards, birthday invitations and more. The list is endless. The amount of things you can place an image onto now is mind boggling. Blankets, mouse pads, coffee cups, clothing...give a gift that is personalized and unique.

Take a look at what Westcott has to offer!

Wide Angle on a Budget.

The PROMASTR Auxiliary Wide Angle, is a great alternative to achieving the wide angle "look" for a fraction of the cost.

Features:

The PROMASTER Digital Auxiliary Wide Angle Lens broadens the normal field of view when used with your standard zoom lens. This wider field is perfect for indoor photography where space is limited and for outdoor panoramic photos. This particular lens uses newly designed optical technology to ensure sharp, high-resolution photos with your digital SLR.*

We have tried and found out it works great! See for your self, it makes really makes a difference, notice how much more of the image is capture with the Auxiliary, then with out.

All of this images are taken with a Canon Rebel XS w/18-55 EF-S IS Outfit. The Images on the left are all taken with the Wide Angle Auxiliary, and on the right, with out the Auxiliary at 18mm. All images are shot fully automatic on "P" Mode. And all taken from the same spot and camera angle.
