Refurbished Photo Gear; Bargain Or Bust?
Jon Sienkiewicz  |  Feb 01, 2007  |  0 comments

Sooner or later, you're going to be tempted to buy a product that's labeled "refurbished." It will probably be the lower price that attracts you--after all, there is one and only one reason to even consider "refurb" and that is to save money. Depending on where you shop, you may be led to believe that the refurbished item is as good as...

Lazy Days Of Summer
Shutterbug Staff  |  Feb 01, 2007  |  0 comments

We thought it would be fun to run some summer shots in these darker and colder days of winter, so we put out a call for photos in the fall and readers responded with images that made us yearn for those warmer days when we got home and it was still light enough to get some sand between our toes. Summer, it seems, is the time to get together with family and friends and spend some...

Personal Project; The Art Of New York’s Bridges
Dave Frieder  |  Feb 01, 2007  |  0 comments

When I started my Bridge Project back in 1993 I had no idea how I would really begin to climb and photograph the 15-20 New York City bridges that I would need to complete it. It all started when I saw some fantastic images that John Sexton and Ron Wisner took from the top of the Golden Gate Bridge. I said to myself, where are there huge and more bridges than anywhere in the...

Personal Touch; Do People Skills Make Me A Better Photographer?
Jack Hollingsworth  |  Feb 01, 2007  |  0 comments

A while back I had two big production shoots, one in India, the other in Shanghai. For both, the clients were with me all day, every day, and it was interesting that when they got around to comparing me to other stock and travel shooters they'd worked with--I'd asked them, of course, just to see how my operation stacked up to others'--they told me that...

Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-L1; High-Tech Digital SLR With Conventional Controls And Traditional Style
Peter K. Burian  |  Feb 01, 2007  |  0 comments

The first Panasonic D-SLR, the Lumix DMC-L1 is a product of an alliance with Olympus, since it employs, according to the company, some "jointly developed technologies and components." In fact, this camera shares many attributes with the Olympus EVOLT E-330, including the lens mount, Supersonic Wave sensor dust removal system, and Panasonic's Four Thirds format...

Microtek’s ScanMaker i800 Pro Design; A Fully Loaded Legal-Size Flat-Bed Film & Print Scanner
David B. Brooks  |  Feb 01, 2007  |  0 comments

When the new Microtek ScanMaker i800 model was released I held back until the i800 Pro Design model was ready for review. The reason for waiting for the Pro Design model was that after reviewing numerous scanners over the years I have come to the realization that the software driver is as important, if not more so, than the hardware. Like an automobile, scanner specs resemble an...

Make Every Wedding A Dream Wedding; It’s A Special Day For The Couple…And The Photographer
Monte Zucker  |  Feb 01, 2007  |  0 comments

There's no such thing as a small wedding. Every wedding is special and needs to be captured as such. I got that feeling when I photographed the wedding of Phillip and Krystle. I don't photograph many weddings anymore, but these people were special. The groom was the brother of my assistant, Jeff.

Even though there were going to be less than 10 people at the...
