How to Care for Your Favorite Photos and Frames

November 30th, 2009

If you have lots of photos displayed in your house, chances are good that you don’t know how to properly care for your picture frames. Find out what you need to do to protect your pictures forever and how to keep your picture frames looking good for years.

The Importance of Creating Duplicates of Your Special Photos

One of the most important things you can do when it comes to caring for your photos, is to make sure you have a way to create a duplicate of your most important photos.With digital cameras, it’s easy to take and print photos whenever you want.  But what about the old photos you have on your walls or tabletops?Do you know where you keep all of your negatives, slides or CDs stored in case you need to replicate them? 

Those special irreplaceable photos require high quality replication to help make sure that you never lose them.There are several ways to make copies of your special pictures, but it’s best to seek the help of a professional who will ensure your photos are properly replicated without damaging your photos.

Clean Your Picture Frames Often

Like any other object in your home or office, picture frames do collect dust and need to be dusted periodically.The best way to do that is to lay your picture frame face down on a thick towel. This will help to protect the frame and the glass from getting scratched.  Next, remove the backing and carefully take out the picture.

Once you have opened the back portion of the frame and removed the photo, simply lift the glass from the frame. You can now clean the glass with any glass cleaner.  Remember, though, if it is acrylic, just use soap and water.  Paper towels can scratch the surface of acrylic, so it is better to use cloth towels.  Also, the acid in paper towels can stay on the glass and slowly degrade the photo inside the frame, so if you are using conservation techniques to protect your photos, only use a cloth towel to clean your glass.

The care of your frame largely depends upon the finish and material used to make the frame.  To clean a wood picture frame with a smooth lacquer finish use a dust cleaner or a water dampened cloth.  To prevent damage to your frame be sure before using any type of cleaner that your wood frame has a lacquered finish similar to a piece of furniture.And don’t forget to remove your photo from the frame before cleaning with a spray cleaner.

For unfinished picture frames that have raw or unprotected wood surface, be especially careful as they can be damaged if not properly cleaned.Unlike lacquered or finished wood frames with a protective finish, unfinished wood frames should only be dusted with a dry toothbrush or cleaned with a small handheld vacuum.  This method cleans off dust without leaving the frame wet or with pieces of towel or paper towel stuck to the rough unfinished wood finish.Avoid using wood or dust cleaners on unfinished wood frames as they can discolor or stain the bare wood frame.

Caring for Metal Picture Frames

Metal picture frames can be cleaned in several ways.Use a water dampened towel to gently clean off any metal picture frames.  Wipe the frame gently and then dry with a soft dry cloth to avoid leaving water marks.

If you have a precious metal frame, like a solid pewter photo frame, silver plated frame or sterling silver frame, you need to determine if it has a lacquered finish.  In most cases, if you’ve had the frame for a while and it hasn’t tarnished you can be pretty sure it’s a lacquered frame. A lacquer finished frame should only be cleaned with a water dampened cloth and gently dried with a dry, soft cloth towel.

If you have an old silver frame that’s tarnished, then you can be pretty sure that it doesn’t have any lacquer coating and should be cleaned with a quality silver cleaner.Make sure to read the cleaner instructions carefully before applying. And, remember to remove your photo before you clean your frame to avoid damaging your photo. 

Anytime you use a cleaner, always test a small area on the back or bottom of the frame to make sure the cleaner doesn’t react badly with your frame.  Once done with cleaning your metal frame, wash your hands to avoid transferring any cleaning residue to your photo.  Before replacing your photo, make sure the glass and frame are completely dry before putting back your photo.  If there is moisture remaining on the glass, you can run the risk of having your photo damaged if the photo sticks to the glass.

As you can see, it’s very easy to properly care for your frames and photos by following these simple steps. By consistently taking care of your photos and frames, your framed memories will always look their best.

7 Successful Strategies for Portrait Photography(continue)

November 29th, 2009

4. Right kind of lighting

Probably the best light that can be used for capturing the personality of the subject is natural daylight.

The variety of lighting choices brought about by outdoor conditions gives more creative leeway for the Brisbane portrait photographer . Having the subject sit near the window can also generate great effects. The only disadvantage of natural light is that it is not always consistent.

5. Appropriate background

Simply put, a bad background can destroy a picture. Always pay the closest attention on the scenery behind the subject when framing shots. There are many creative options that be used when shooting outdoors. The subject can be made to show beside or in front of colorful flowers or leaves, the sea or the sky.

To reduce the effect of a distracting background, a photographer can make use of long lenses or an expansive aperture. For indoors, one can use black or grey cloth for the background, then adding colored transparent plastics over the flashes to modify color.

6. Usage of costumes and props

Portraits usually are a rare photograph of a subject, and good costumes can make the portrait more interesting and valuable. You do not always need to use a full costume; sometimes a hint of it will make wonders, like hats or scarves.

Props should be used very carefully, and should not distract from the major subject of the photograph. A prop should establish the natural pose and mood of the one being photographed.

7. Framing

The kind of framing can already create the image desired by the Brisbane wedding photographer. It is recommended that photos be cropped before shooting. The image should be checked a few seconds before clicking the shutter. Images that are not wanted should be excluded from the shot.

Producing the perfect Brisbane portrait photography may seem hard at first but these tips can help novices so that they can shoot better pictures.

7 Successful Strategies for Portrait Photography: How to Take Good Portraits Photos

November 28th, 2009

Photography is one of the most popular hobbies and professions in the world. There is nothing like capturing fragments of reality and preserving it on film. There are many kinds of photography, but one of the most in-demand is Brisbane portrait photography .

A good portrait is recognized as a picture with a quality image that captures both the physical features and character of the subject. Taking good portraits is very challenging because a Brisbane corporate photographer needs a subject with an upbeat personality that also reflects sensitivity and liveliness.

There are a lot of factors that photography enthusiasts need to know in capturing the perfect portrait.

1. Revelation of the subject character

For a portrait to be considered good, it must capture at least one element that shows the features and traits of the subject as well as one that captures his or her individuality. The image must reveal an important part of the character of the subject that can be identifiable by those who know them.

Therefore, it is quite challenging for a portrait to show the character of his subject if they have only met for the first time.

2. The right moment to take pictures

Definitely, the photo shoot should start when the subject is comfortable and at ease with his or her appearance and surroundings. Never shoot if the subject is tense or uneasy, for it will reflect in the pictures.

Remember that the subject does not need to smile to make the portrait look good. Oftentimes, a thoughtful or a serious expression is preferred since it reveals more of the subject’s character.

3. Preparedness of the photographer

This is important since it is the Brisbane portrait photographer who takes control of a photo session. The subject must feel that the person behind the camera knows what he is doing and is experienced enough to tell the subject how to pose. The photographer himself must be prepared and relaxed through the session.

Small Digital Cameras - The Secrets to Choosing the Best One For You

November 28th, 2009

Your options for choosing perfect small digital cameras are greater now than they ever have been before. And they keep improving every day.

When digital cameras first came out, they were very expensive, and they were relatively large compared to many of today’s models. These cameras use an image sensor in order to capture image data and save it to the camera so you can instantly see the photos that you have taken, as well as transfer them to computers and printers. These days it is possible to get small digital cameras that work extremely well for between $200 and $600. Which of these compact type cameras is the best for you will depend on which features you find the most important.

Because there are so many choices available to you, it’s necessary to do a little studying before you make a choice. Determine the options and features that you feel you will use the most. Do you want to have a high resolution, a very compact camera, a good optical zoom, or some of the special features like smile recognition that some of the cameras offer?

Most compact cameras are point and shoot type cameras, although there are a few that have the option to manually change the settings. These are best for amateur photographers rather than professionals.Then you will need to decide what price range you are comfortable with in order to help you narrow down your options. There are numerous websites available with reviews that you can use to get a better idea of the pros and cons of each camera that you are considering.

If you would prefer a really slim camera, the Sony Cyber-Shot T900 is one of the options you should consider. It is only a half inch thick, and very light. It has a touch screen for controls, 12.1 megapixels, and a 4x optical zoom. It does have a relatively short battery life though, so you might want to purchase an extra battery or two to have on hand.

Another popular series for compact digital cameras is the Nikon CoolPix series, including the Nikon CoolPix S70. The CoolPix S70 has a 3.5 inch LCD screen with touch screen controls, 12.1 megapixels, image stabilization and a 5x optical zoom. It is also one of the smaller cameras, measuring 3.8 inches wide, 2.4 inches long, and.8 inches thick. There are some cool features available with this camera, including the ability to tap on a subject to focus and shoot rather than always having to use the shutter button. The battery needs to be charged in the camera however, so you will want to have an extra battery.

These cameras just keep getting better and better. As technology continues to move forward, small sized digital point and shoot and sub sized cameras are gaining features and picture quality that only their big brothers, the DSLR’s, had at one time. Check out the various mini digital cameras and slim digital cameras and after a little research you’ll easily be able to find one that meets your needs and your budget.

How to Select the Perfect Round Picture Frame

November 28th, 2009

Round picture frames add a unique style and shape to any picture frame collection. There are many different kinds of decorative round frames however, not every photo will look good in a round picture frame. After you have read this article, you will have a better understanding of what type of pictures to avoid in round frames and which ones will look the best so you’ll always select the right frame for your photos.

Round picture frames are a fun way to display photos, but sadly most people display the wrong type of pictures in them. So, to help you avoid the pitfalls of using round frames, it’s best to start off with the types of photos to avoid using in round frames.

What to Avoid With Round Frames

Round picture frames are a great choice in certain circumstances, but there are times when you should avoid using a round frame. Here are the top two types of photos to avoid when displaying round picture frames:

1) Close Up Headshots: The round shape of the frame tends to make faces have a more full and round look. No one wants to have a round or full face so don’t place a close up head-shot photo in a round frame no matter how much you love the frame. In almost every case it will be unflattering to the person in the picture so don’t do it. The only case where up-close photos look good in round frames are pictures of babies who are cute and round anyways.

However, this doesn’t mean you can’t do headshots of people in a round frame but just don’t get too close. If you’re a good distance away, headshots look good but you should always be conscious to how the frame makes the person’s face look.

2) Cropping the Photo Too Tight:  If you need to crop a photograph to fit into a round frame, don’t crop it too close. You want the subject in the picture to have some spacing around them so they don’t look like they were crammed into the frame. Any picture you display in a round picture frame needs to have the subject positioned with an equal amount of space around them so the picture and frame complement each other.

Remembering not to use close-up shots and not to crop your picture too tight are two important rules that are easy to follow. That leaves a whole bunch of photos that you can use in round picture frames.

The Types of Photos You Should Use in Round Frames

There are lots of photos that will look great in a round frame. Round picture frames help add a unique look to your decor and your photo no matter if you display it by itself or as part of a wall display. Here are just a few ideas of what will look great in a round picture frame:

1) Landscape photos are perfectly suited for a round frame. Framing a landscape photo in a round frame makes it look like you’re gazing through a small window at the outside scenery. Round frames are best to use with landscape scenery taken at a distance so it best fits the dimensions of the frame.

2) Pets are a favorite choice for round decorative picture frames. No matter if it’s a picture of their head or their entire body, the compact size of most pets makes them a great candidate for a round picture frame. 

3) Drawings, sketches, needlepoint or other artwork can be beautifully displayed in a round picture frame. If you’re looking for a decorative way to display your favorite photo or small piece of artwork, consider using a round picture frame.

4) Baby photos are a favorite choice for round photo frames. Round frames and the cute round shape of babies look great together. Just make sure to center your baby’s picture properly within the baby frame for best results.

5) Think about more than just displaying photos. There are so many artistic ways to display a round picture frame. Mirrors are great to put in a round frame as they add light and depth to any room. Not only will you have a functional item on your wall, but it will be beautifully, and artistically, displayed, enhancing your decor. 

If you have never used a round picture frame, now is the time to try one. Now that you know what to avoid and what type of photo looks best in a round frame you will feel confident selecting a round picture frame that will add a stylish beauty to your home.

Panoramic Picture Frames - Are They Going Away?

November 27th, 2009

If scenic landscape pictures are something you love, then you probably love panoramic pictures. Panoramic pictures have grown in popularity with the increasing use of panoramic format cameras and the popularity of digital photography. If you are unfamiliar with panoramic photography, now is the time to learn why panoramic photos are so popular and how displaying them in panoramic frames can add to your home decorating.
Why are panoramic picture frames so popular among photography enthusiasts?

  • They’re a unique way to capture tall landscapes and breathtaking vistas. Now you can take a full picture of the Eiffel tower or the Statue of Liberty or capture an entire cityscape.
  • Their non-standard shape offers an artistic touch to your picture wall. A panoramic picture frame adds a unique dimension to your photo display whether it’s displayed by itself or in a group.
  • They are less expensive than having to buy a larger picture frame with a mat to fit the panoramic photo size. Now with panoramic frames widely available you can find exactly what you want without the big expense of having a custom frame made.

Panoramic Picture Basics

There are a three primary ways to take panoramic pictures: a camera using APS film, a digital camera with a panoramic setting or to digitally “stitch” together multiple pictures into a panoramic photo.

Originally, panoramic pictures first became popular with film cameras using Advanced Photo System (APS) film. These cameras took panoramic photos in specific panoramic sizes which are still popular today. But these days, with the widespread use of digital cameras and the software for image “stitching,” there are no restrictions as to the size of your panoramic picture. Now the limit for panoramic photos comes to framing your picture. The framing options for your panoramic pictures are limited to three common sizes in readymade panoramic frames. Those sizes are 3.5×10, 4×10 and 4×12. Ready made frames are the popular choice because they are significantly less expensive then custom frames.

Ready made panoramic frame styles are usually simple with clean lines and are available in either metal or wood frames. Wood panoramic frames are generally more popular because they’re available in a large variety of stained colors so you can better highlight tones in your photo. The wide variety of colors and the classic simple style of panoramic frames complements almost any decor and will add a new dimension to your photo displays.

Even though the availability of APS film is diminishing, that doesn’t mean panoramic pictures are going away. With the immense popularity of digital photography, panoramic pictures and panoramic frames will be around for a long time. So keep taking those beautiful panoramic views and have fun creating a unique look with your panoramic frames.

Aaron Dinham Shoots Cornwall Chalet At Whitsand Bay

November 27th, 2009

After what seemed like days of searching the net looking for snaps of local features for a new folder on our gallery page I came across a stunning shot of Mount Edgcumbe House.  After enlarging the image I found that the photographer’s name ‘Aaron Dinham’ rang a bell.I later realised that we had gone to the same school and although I did not see him around I thought I'd see how the quality of his portfolio compared to his shot of Mount Edgcumbe House.  I was amazed; Aaron’s photos of Whitsand Bay, Rame Head, Chapel Porth and Perranporth in particular were incredible.

I spent the following morning with Lisa marvelling at Aaron’s work.  We noticed that Aaron’s skills were not confined to landscape shots- his Portrait, Abstract, Surfing, Art and Urban pictures were of an extremely high standard.  I set about tracking Aaron down in the hope that he might take a few shots of our chalet.  I managed to contact him and we for him to shoot our Cornwall holiday accommodation.

On the day, outside conditions weren’t great but Aaron still got some outstanding shots of the inside of the chalet.  Aaron promised to return to photograph the outside of the chalet when the weather was more settled.  A fortnight later, brilliant sunshine, no wind and an afternoon changeover window at Penquite enabled us to get Aaron back for the outside shots.  Aaron took a series of cracking shots of the Cornwall chalet and then we headed down to the beach in the hope we could make the most of the weather and get some good pictures of the sea, beach and cliff.

I then really made sure that Aaron would be late home for his tea by asking if he'd mind jumping onto our rib to get some snaps of the chalet from the ocean, Rame Head and panoramic shots of Whitsand Bay.Aaron thankfully said ok and my expectations were exceeded when Aaron gave me his precious camera and I could see for myself on the LCD screen how things were shaping up.

A day or so later the images had been resized for me and were ready for me to upload onto our site.I was so pleased with his pictures I thought it only fair that I write this article and give you guys a chance to see what he can do.  I have already arranged for a huge canvas of one of Aaron's panoramic shots of Rame Head and Whitsands to be mounted on Canvas which will be placed above the sofa at the chalet.  Our new brochure also features some of Aaron’s handywork.

You want to make sure you are able to capture those moments forever with how wonderful cameras are.So here are some tips to ensure that with photography you do capture those moments.

First of all you don’t need to hire a professional for all these great moments. But of course a professional is always preferred for those big occassions. Occassions such as weddings of course you would hire a professional.  That is why as a San Diego wedding photographer my service stays busy.  Because it is such a special moment you want a professional to catch those shots and make them beautiful.

Certainly there are those significant events like the birth of a child. Now of course you wouldn’t want a professional photographer in the hospital room to take a shot. But you might want to hire one to take photos of those first few days.  As a San Diego photographer my company gets hired to take newborn photos all the time.  Those are some of the most precious moments so it makes sense to hire a professional.

Finally there are great moments like graduations.This is something that you yourself can probably perform.But it is not painful to hire a professional either.  As a San Diego event photography service we do graduations all the time.And people hire us most of the time because they need memorable shots.

How To Find Well Photography And Videography Serving?

November 27th, 2009

Statistics show that people are willing to spend up to ten percent of their wedding budget on photography and videography services on the only condition that they be offered good work. Nevertheless, many people are skeptical about certain services, and the finding of a good professional becomes quite a challenge a few months before the big event. But how and where can one hire a good videography service?

Word of mouth could be the best way to find what you want. Ask around people you know and have them share their opinion on how their wedding photography and videography came out. If they speak high of the results of their videographer’s work, get that person’s or company’s number and get in touch with them. Do not delay contacting the photographer because a professional’s agenda is pretty full: they do work based on appointments, calenders and dates. If your wedding day is during the summer season when most weddings are held, you might just discover that someone else has already hired that person for the same date as you, which makes the videographer unavailable.

Another option for finding the right photography and videography professional would be to compare the samples of various videographers’ work either using their Internet websites or checking the photography and videography of all your friends that have already gotten married. You are to look for the appropriate style of filming and taking pictures, of editing and inserting special effects in case you want some of these and the price they ask for the service.

Another thing you can do to make sure that your wedding photography and videography is going to be a success is to communicate very well with the videographer and the camera man. You need to tell them exactly what you want, exactly what moments you consider unforgettable and that you insist to have on film. Moreover, during the wedding procession, do speak your mind in terms of whether you agree with what the photography and videography experts are doing. In case you notice something that is not particularly to your liking, feel free to let them know. Instead of minding your comments, you will notice that they will appreciate the fact that you communicate. All they want is happy, satisfied customers that will eventually spread word about their great work and skill.
