Brief encounter: Dodge Viper SRT-10 the skies opened up and the sun shone down upon us here at top speed recently when we received a call from our test car supplier letting us know that they had something special in store for this nbsp ..." >
Photographers who do not closely examine the surroundings within the frame of their image are those who come away with images that have great distractions
There is nothing more painful for a portraitist than taking a portrait that is beautifully posed, gorgeously lit, and absolutely unusable … simply because no attention was given to background composition!
Keep eyes in the upper third
This is the most natural spacing for a portrait. Try not to divert from this rule unless you are deliberately creating tension. Another exception of this rule is when a subject is full-bodied in the bottom third of the frame.
By pulling the subject away from the background and shooting on Aperture priority (f4.0), you will create a small depth of field to blur the backdrop and allow for artistic texture
To make the best use of perspective, work to change your camera-to-subject angle. Often by moving a little to the right or left, or getting higher or lower, you can completely abolish that distracting tree branch or telephone pole
2. Become a paparazzi!
Snapped a celebrity doing a walkabout? Scoopt finds buyers for news
pictures… and a model eating is always news.
5. Create a specialized photography book
It’s nice to put your favorite images in a photography book; it’s nice money
when you put your kid’s school soccer team in a book and sell it to their
parents.
15. Decorate cafes
Ask café owners to put your pictures on their walls. They get free art… you get
to show pictures with price tags.
26. Put your pictures on programs
Software companies need all sorts of images… to decorate their disc covers, to
put on their boxes, to function as backgrounds. Check out who’s working on
what, shoot some stills and make your pitch.
34. Cover CDs
People are still burning CDs… and still storing in them in boring plastic
covers. Put pictures on circles and offer them to stores that sell blanks.
3. Make a nursery bloom
Cafés and restaurants make good galleries because they have static viewers and plenty of walls. But you can also approach other businesses and shoot pictures that suit their topics. A nursery, for example, might be willing to host an exhibition that showed the sort of flowers they sell in the best possible light.
11. Join a campaign
Just as you can find a website on every topic you can think of, so you can also find a pressure group on every topic you can think of. The Harrisburg Camera Club teamed up with the Capital Area Greenbelt Association in 2007 to show off the Greeenbelt’s appeals. Which local group could use your images — and bring you publicity and sales in return?
19. Outsource all the marketing
Jeremy Mason McGraw turned out to be pretty smart when it came to creating joint ventures. In fact, his career as a travel photographer really took off when he partnered with a marketing expert who sold his services while he did the supplying. Find someone who sells and you could do the same.

I traveled at Yunnan in Chines, I paid attention to these sleeping people. Each time I photographed them is "thrilling", because I feared the camera shutter will destroy others happy dreamland.

The book bulge in the new photo paper albums disappears, as the pages lie flat when the book is opened 180 degrees wide. A new binding process is being used for the album pages, which allows the pages in an open photo paper album to lay flat, rather than bowing or arching up towards the spine.
