Things to Do With Your Personal Photos and Special Pictures

I want to share some extremely unique information with you, especially those that love to take photographs. I have 1000's of pictures and until the past couple of years they have sat in boxes in storage and of course, on my computer's hard drive. Pictures can say so much, even without a word being written. They can express passion or sorrow in a way that most normal folks could never express. If a person takes the time to express positive feeling at the start of his or her day, every day, altitudes, feeling, thoughts and every other aspect of a person's life will be altered. Once this process develops into a habit, the view of life that person will obtain will give them the feels that nothing is impossible for them. There are greeting type card programs on the internet that can do this for the sender of a card. That sent card will also impact the receiver in ways you will not be able to imagine. This is a proven fact. With that in mind and the fact that a picture is worth a 1000 words and has an enormous effect on people that view them, wouldn't you want to be that person that would supply this experience of exuberance to others? Have this feeling, everyday, that you can make a difference in your life and the lives of the people you chose to touch with a card and a picture, will always be remembered by the sender and receiver of those cards? Here is what's available that I'm sure you are unaware of.

• Your photos can now be placed on the front of any type of greeting card, thank you card or whatever you want to call it type of card.

• You can also place groups of pictures inside of cards. On a post card, 2 or 3 fold cards.

• Enter a caption on the photos to explain what they are or just to say you're having a great time.

• Place saying, poems, love notes, thank you inside of the card in many different types of fonts.

• This is cool. Create a font for the cards in your own personal hand writing.

• Send a single card to someone or send 500 to everyone in just the time it takes you to create one card, that only take minutes in the first place.

• Some of the sites on the internet also give you a website to keep track of what you have sent.

• Some give you an address book so that all of your contact addresses are handy to find. You can even back them up to an excel file for safety on a few of the sites.

• Several card creation sites also offer you the ability to send gifts with the cards.

• Here are a couple of time saving features, no trip to the store, standing in lines at the cashier, being tied up in traffic, finding or picking up stamps, going to the post office in some cases.

• Most card creation sites let you stamp and mail the card right on line. They also help you keep track of birthdays and anniversaries or any other date you might want to save.

• Best of all, the cost is less than one dollar per card.

I hope that this has been of benefit to you since it has been of great benefit to me in my life and the lives others that have received these cards. It's kind of a good will toward men program if it is used. That is my purpose for sharing it. I do hope you will try this out at one of the sites? It is amazing of how these simple acts will make you feel on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis.

Wish you the Best,

5 Things to Consider Before Buying a New Camera

When considering buying a digital camera there are potentially many reasons you should consider before you go ahead and buy your digital camera. Whether you are buying your first camera or you are a seasoned professional in photography. Purchasing a digital camera should include conducting your own research so you can make the best buying decision before you go ahead and buy that digital camera. here are 5 things you should consider before you buy a digital camera.

1. Digital SLR or Point and Shoot Cameras

There are many reason why you would want a digital SLR camera, and there are also many other reason why you would want to consider on a point and shoot camera. Digital SLR cameras are becoming more affordable than ever before, however Digital SLR cameras are complex, and sometimes very confusing on how to work. In addition to having removable lens these cameras are not necessarily ideal for everyone.

Point and shoot cameras are a bit more compact and are easier to work, because digital SLR cameras are heavier and have more moving parts then point and shoot cameras. However point and shoot will be ideal for traveling, family get together's, or if you need a quick shot.

Of course both do have their ups and downs. Digital SLR cameras will give you the best possible images available and if you are considering a profession in photography then a SLR digital camera will be essential for your success. While at the same time point and shoot cameras can give you high quality images in a compact design. It is all a matter of choice and what your photography needs are.

2. Consider what you want

What do you need a digital camera for?What type of digital photography will you be doing?What environment will you be most likely photographing in?Will you most likely stay in auto mode or will you want to learn the art of photography?What experience level do you have with digital cameras?What type of features are you looking for?How important is size and portability to you?What is your budget that you are looking to spend?

3. Do you have digital camera accessories from another camera that will be compatible with your new one?

To save extra money and even time it is a good idea to use previous accessories from other cameras to use with your new one. For instance you can use extra flashes, tripods, software packages, memory cards, or other accessories that will be used or is compatible with your new camera. This can both save you time and money in the long run.

4. Optical zooms and Digital zooms

There is essentially two types of zooms on cameras, there are optical zooms and there are digital zooms. I highly recommend only considering optical zoom cameras. The reason is digital zooms will typically add more noise to your pictures by enlarging the pixel quality of your images which will cause your images to diminish the higher you zoom in. Whereas optical zooms essentially will use a focus in the lens that allows your images to focus in without losing quality in the images you create.

5. Be wary of extra accessories

Many times when your purchasing a new digital camera you will more than likely need extra accessories, this is almost always the case when you are purchasing a new digital camera for the first time or a new model for the first time. Extra accessories that you may need to take into consideration may include -

Digital Camera CaseDigital Memory Cards/SticksSpare Batteries/Rechargeable BatteriesLenses (if you are getting a DSLR Camera)Filters (and other lens attachments)Tripods/MonopodsExternal FlashesReflectors

When you are considering buying a digital camera make sure you conduct research on the type of camera, the features, and you identify what your needs will be for your new digital camera. Make sure you check out the latest review on the model and brand of camera you are considering purchasing and also take time to read some of the digital photography magazines for more guidelines.

I hope this article has helped you understand the benefits of buying a digital camera so that you will make an informed decision when you decide to buy yourself a new camera.
