How to Photograph Pets

How to Photograph Pets
by Darren Rowse

Here’s my top ten tips on taking great photographs of your pet:

1. Start with Your Pet’s Personality

Before you start photographing your pet ask yourself ‘what sets it apart from other animals?’ Think about what type of personality it has and then attempt to capture some of that in your shots. For example if everyone knows your pet as a sleepy, lazy or placid little thing set up your photo shoot around it’s bed or where it goes after a meal to lie in the sun and you’ll have every chance of capturing a shot that sums your pet right up. Alternatively if your pet is hyperactive, inquisitive and always on the move it might be better to do your shoot at a local park where it’s racing around, jumping for balls or playing with other animals.

      2. Think about Context
In choosing the location to photograph your pet you might want to consider a variety of other factors also. For starters choose a place where your pet will be comfortable and at ease. Also consider the familiarity of the location and the emotions that it will evoke in you as the pets owner. For example you might have a place that you and your pet have had some special moments together that will mean a lot in the future as you look back over your shots. Lastly consider the background of your shots. Ultimately you don’t want your backgrounds to be distracting from your photo – sometimes the best locations are the plainest ones – a large patch of green grass, a well lit room with white walls and plain carpet etc can be ideal. Of course this can also be tool plain and sterile – my motto is that if the different elements in the background of the shot don’t add to it avoid them
I hope you have enjoyed this article  as much as I have, if so check out Darrens site for more fantastic tips.

5 Tips to Shake Up Your Travel Photography

 by James Maher

I love to look at travel photography, but man, sometimes it can all just seem mind-numbingly similar.

Put a cabin, some rocks, grass, or sand in the foreground, a lake or ocean in the middle ground, and a sunset or mountain in the background, preferably during a slightly cloudy day.

Shake. Rinse. Repeat.

I do this frequently; everyone does.  But that’s the problem.  Sometimes we need to break away from the formulas of what we think photographs should look like.  We need to think outside of the box and try to do things a little differently.

So here are a few tips and thoughts to help you create unique travel photos.
When we’re in a new place, sometimes all we can think about is taking photos of the beautiful architecture, the monuments, and the wonders that we travelled to see.  We have these thoughts from the countless guide books we’ve read and from the imagery we’ve seen over the web.  We want to take those same pictures to have for ourselves (and we should take these photos.)  But these things are not necessarily what gives a place its essence and its soul.

Stop and think about how you feel.  What is it that is creating that feeling?  Is it that tiny, bustling restaurant, lit up at night and filled with regulars?  Is it the well dressed men in expensive suits and shoes riding their bicycles to work?  Is it the chaos and constant traffic on the streets?  Is it the food vendors on the side of the road?  Is it the fresh bread and cheese?

For instance, what describes Italy better?  Is it your typical capture of the Duomo or the Ponte Vecchio, or is it a detail shot of an older man in a well-made suit walking on wet cobblestones and bringing home fresh bread at the end of the day?

The Things to Avoid In Article Writing

There are some things that you need to avoid while article writing for the web. By avoiding such mistakes, the article will be more attractive and reader friendly.
There are quite a few article writing mistakes that need to be avoided. Writing for the purpose of search engine optimization  has its own skills and technicalities and an article should adhere to it in order to be effective. If the article is written without complying with the guidelines and technical aspects, it will be nothing more than garbage. While writing, one should have an idea of the guidelines and technicalities and try to follow them. If done with care, the article writing task with be absolutely full proof and yield great results in terms on linguistic finesse as well as revenue aspects.
The first mistake about article writing for SEO is that lots of writers club the keywords together. This will not only reduce the flow and look of the article, but also make the article a spam. As such care should always be taken to ensure that the keywords are evenly spread though out the whole article. For example, if the whole article consists of 4 keywords, the article writing should ensure they are spread all over the article in relevant places. This will make the article more reader friendly to the user, and also help increase the ranking on the search engines.
Secondly, while article writing, lots of writers tend to use hyperbolic words. This should be absolutely avoided. Writing for the web demands that the article content should be lucid, precise, and also easy to read. The article needs to have a flow that induces the reader to go further into the body of the article. In the beginning, there needs to be an attractive article that makes the reader get interested to read further down. Moreover, the article also needs to be informative as the sole purpose of article writing for the internet is to provide useful information and details.
Last but not the least, another article writing flaw is to deviate from the relevant topic and start writing something else. Because writers have a creative bent of mind, there are lots times when they start writing lots of things that may be considered irrelevant to the whole topic. This should be avoided so that the article looks much better and also friendly to the reader. Article writing that is relevantly written article with a wonderful simple language is the trick to writing for the web. The language should be easy to comprehend, and also lucid and flowing.

What Happened in Atlanta? The POWER of a Dream

A little over six months ago... ...30 some odd people gathered in a smelly lil' hotel room in Orlando Florida, and signed Non-Disclosure Agreements to take a look at something a little bit 'off' from the rest of the world. 45 days later, that group of 30 people had grown into an army of more than 10,000 customers. Six months later, it was over 30,000. (yes, that's PAID customers) What started as a 'lil' internet dream turned into a small city... ...an Army - marching out into the world with a vision. We got together again about 10 days ago, and this happened.
