They can be a very powerful element to mix into your landscape photography. Being a photographer in the middle of America, lighthouses are hard to come by.

What’s one thing that a lot of photographers fail at doing? Getting awesome hand-painted backgrounds that are unique. Give me a city and I will find you a huge chunk of studios right off the bat that have a portfolio filled with cheesy dyed muslins. Like the ones that anyone can buy off ebay for $40 .. shipping included. That’s just stupid. Actually what’s worse is when they pay $300 for a dyed muslin that looks just like the $40 ones on ebay. C’mon, This isn’t 1984 people.

If you keep up on the latest trends in marketing, you will hear everybody talking about twitter. It’s the latest buzz.

A lot of portrait photographers go so far as to build live twitter update feeds directly into their websites and blogs.

Pretty much any digital camera you buy these days will give you the option to shoot in color, black &amp; white and even sepia. I started out shooting in the 80’s. Photography was much more expensive back then and black &amp; white development was much more affordable. Because of this I spent my first decade shooting exclusively in black and white. Needless to say, black and white photography holds a very special place for me. So, should I shoot in black and white mode or convert my color images into black and white later?</p> <p>[/blockquote]</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://xposurepro.com/images/stories/blog/shoot-in-black-white-mode.jpg" border="0" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;">Photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/misschievous/1259665857/" target="_blank">MizzChievouz</a></p> <p><a href="http://xposurepro.com/articles/camera-lens/camera-basics/114-should-i-shoot-in-bw-mode">Read more...</a></p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/__QfwR9p2TxIzeg19vyLz_BhxWE/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/__QfwR9p2TxIzeg19vyLz_BhxWE/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/__QfwR9p2TxIzeg19vyLz_BhxWE/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/__QfwR9p2TxIzeg19vyLz_BhxWE/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Xposurepro?a=fMfFn1EO7OE:fDh4yQmpsAU:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Xposurepro?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Xposurepro?a=fMfFn1EO7OE:fDh4yQmpsAU:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Xposurepro?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Xposurepro?a=fMfFn1EO7OE:fDh4yQmpsAU:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Xposurepro?i=fMfFn1EO7OE:fDh4yQmpsAU:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Xposurepro?a=fMfFn1EO7OE:fDh4yQmpsAU:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Xposurepro?i=fMfFn1EO7OE:fDh4yQmpsAU:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div> Randy McKown Tue, 20 Oct 2009 14:45:43 -0500 http://xposurepro.com/articles/camera-lens/camera-basics/114-should-i-shoot-in-bw-mode http://xposurepro.com/articles/photography-marketing/113-basic-seo-for-photographers <p>[blockquote]</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Not having a SEO strategy is one of the biggest mistakes made by photographers when running their websites or blogs.

You can do it in the camera when you are composing the shot or you can crop in photoshop later. Sometimes, cropping in the camera is a good idea. When I say good idea what I’m really saying is, it will save you the time of cropping it later. That is honestly the only reason. However, cropping in the camera can actually cause you to lose money in print sales and/or cause you to get bad word of mouth from your clients. Why?

In portraiture you are dealing with a living person. A landscape is not constantly moving around or worried about how their hair looks. A landscape doesn’t get nervous or care how long you take to photograph it. A landscape has no emotions at all to be concerned with. It doesn’t care if you have to get out your camera manual in the middle of the shoot or if you ruin the entire shoot. Most importantly, a landscape is not paying you to photograph it. Because of this, you need to be skilled in more than just photography if you want to be successful in portrait photography.</p> <p>[/blockquote]</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://xposurepro.com/images/stories/blog/portrait-photography-1.jpg" border="0" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;">Photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hamedmasoumi/1403071581/" target="_blank">HAMED MASOUMI</a></p> <p><a href="http://xposurepro.com/articles/portrait-photography/111-portraiture-working-with-the-client">Read more...</a></p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/lOujqNrz0_4_yJwPSHXAnLmveTA/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/lOujqNrz0_4_yJwPSHXAnLmveTA/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/lOujqNrz0_4_yJwPSHXAnLmveTA/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/lOujqNrz0_4_yJwPSHXAnLmveTA/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Xposurepro?a=jVyV8qhTnMA:r-CMGjuXhrs:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Xposurepro?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Xposurepro?a=jVyV8qhTnMA:r-CMGjuXhrs:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Xposurepro?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Xposurepro?a=jVyV8qhTnMA:r-CMGjuXhrs:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Xposurepro?i=jVyV8qhTnMA:r-CMGjuXhrs:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Xposurepro?a=jVyV8qhTnMA:r-CMGjuXhrs:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Xposurepro?i=jVyV8qhTnMA:r-CMGjuXhrs:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div> Randy McKown Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:03:24 -0500 http://xposurepro.com/articles/portrait-photography/111-portraiture-working-with-the-client http://xposurepro.com/articles/nature-photography/110-how-to-shoot-star-trails <p style="text-align: justify;">[blockquote]</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Most of us, at some point, have looked at star trail photography and thought about giving it a shot.
