This holiday I was reading The E-myth Revisited (e-myth: entrepreneurial myth) and I believe this book will change allot in my business in the next few years. It’s a must read for any small business owner. It’s very easy reading, very practical and absolutely brilliant! If you don’t have time to read, or you’re just to tired to read when you have time, I suggest you download the audio book form itunes. I recently opened a itunes account and now I listen to audio books when I edit or email. Think about it. You sit and edit for 6-10 hours a day…you might as well listen to a few books :)
I did a wedding in a very dark venue on saturday. I wouldn’t have been able to do good shots without my new extra Canon 580Ex Mark2 speed light. (I was actually stunned to think that I never really used more then 1 flash before!!)
I used this flash for extra lighting in the venue. Here [...]
A few weeks ago I went to Durban for my friend Thea’s wedding. On the flight back to Cape Town I read an article in the paper about Brett Florens, a wedding photographer that has recently been named as one of the world’s best wedding photographers. He’s also been featured in the Rangefinder magazine, which is a great honor! On his site you’ll see that he’s selling a “Behind the lens” dvd. I ordered myself one and it arrived in the post today! I love to learn form other photographers and I’m so excited to watch it.
I’m so stocked! My blog is rated as 82th in the country by the amount of reads! I actually just realized again how much you can achieve only through having a good, active and informative blog! I started blogging in 2007, but only actively since I have my new website (May 2008). My website stats have gone up from 200 visits per month before May 2008 to average 2000 visits per month, of which 1000 is unique visitors every month!
I just want to show you what is possible if you combine a texture and a photo in Photoshop…textures like the one I used is widely available online.
Tutorial available below.
Firstly I made my photo black and white. To make a good black and white photo, I suggest NOT just simply making the photo grayscale. To grayscale an image makes it [...]
One of my goal this year was to get fit! But with the year coming to an end I had to make a quick plan, so I enrolled for Adventure Boot Camp for woman. I’m not really an adventure or exercise junky and besides the fact that I’m enrolled for the 6 am class, I absolutely adore Bootcamp! Bootcamp classes [...]
I know many of you might ask what is twitter? Well, don’t feel left out! I asked the same question a few weeks ago. And here is a very simple explanation form Youtube.
Twitter is a free social networking service. And it has many benefits for bloggers. I found a great article on pro blogger about the benefits. [...]
I love to view other photographer’s blogs to see what their up to. It’s a great way to get inspired! I find that sometimes I just get stuck with the way I’m doing things and then it’s refreshing to see what other people do.
I’m subscribed to the following photographer’s sites via RSS, which means I [...]
Over the weekend I was the victim of a very unfortunate event! My Canon 5D decided to stop working, just as I started with the bridal portraits! I just froze…looked at the bride, made no scene (as I could see she was already a bit stressed) and asked her to wait as I just quickly “get another [...]
I just received my new hand made leather albums that were custom made for me. For the past year I’ve really been struggling to get any simple and good quality albums here in South Africa. I believe there is not just a lack in the quality albums we get here, but also a lack in [...]
