Normally when we post a #Tog Tuesday, we like to provide information, education, and inspiration to our readers. However, sometimes, it’s always nice to see what others have to say out there and jump the gun to post on a MONDAY instead. So with this #Tog Tuesday (yet really a Monday), we would like to open this up to YOU. What inspires you? What makes you ‘tick’ as a photographer? We want you to highlight who you are as a photographer, provide links to your work, and share with others!
The great thing about photography, is it become a circle of people you surround yourself with, as well as opens the doors to new friends, people who will inspire you as well as others who will push you to become a better photographer! And who doesn’t want to be a better photographer?! Read more…
Do you know a photographer? Or are always looking for gifts for someone you know who loves photography? Well, as you have always heard – you can find EVERYTHING on the internet. And with that, we would like to simplify your search and list just a few items online we found for photographer. If you have any that you have found in the past, please be sure to add them in the comment section below. Also – when we went through for these, we chose items that will not break the bank!
The Camera Necklace
Who doesn’t love a good necklace? Well if you are a photographer and you are looking to represent the past, present and future of photography, this necklace will fit perfect! We saw this on Etsy and had to share. It has a steampunk type of design which we absolutely love! Of coarse, if you are into the more typical black and white kind of look, be sure to check out ALL the goodies at Etsy. They have a little of everything for all types of photographers! But always keep in mind, if you are looking for something a little original, always be sure to check out the Etsy pages, they always seem to have some amazing ‘gems’ where ever you look! Read more…

It’s a New Year. What kind of commitments have you made to improve your photography? Maybe you’ve vowed never to precariously balance your expensive Macbook Pro on a card table ever again. Perhaps you made a promise to yourself that you won’t string your tethering cables through your bra strap anymore. Or, maybe you’ve decided to take that techie love affair with your iPad to the professional world and find a way to use it in your photoshoots. Lucky for you, Tether Tools’ New Year’s resolution is to help you with all of the above! Read more…

We have always highlighted that Westcott’s Customer Service is above the rest! Now, with that said, we receive quite a few questions on an average basis through phone calls, at tradeshows and events as well as through social media. Some are more prominent than others, so we figured we would highlight some.
YES!! Because the Spiderlite TD6 is a constant light with a CRI rating of 90+, you will not need to worry about flicker. It also has a color temperature of 5500K, which will allow you to set your white balance with ease. And of coarse, don’t worry about the lamps. They will last 8,000+ hours and produce virtually no heat. Add a softbox to these TD6s, and you have an amazing video setup that has soft lighting that is long lasting! Read more…
