We had our equipment recommendation for a travel tri-pod, which we suggested the Benro Travel Angel Tri-pod. This tri-pod is amazing for hiking, traveling, and using your tri-pod “in the wild”. But, now we are turning the corner to the tri-pod of all tri-pods, the Slik AMT Pro 700DX! Sounds like a super robot in its name and maybe resembles a robot in its strong build, but it is mostly just an amazingly built, constructed, and stable tri-pod. These adjectives for a tri-pod are all ideal, especially because you are stepping away from your expensive camera and giving your trust in this tri-pod to securely hold it. Of course, we all know a tri-pod is a necessity in your photography arsenal because it creates a stable hold when your own body and arm strength are not steady enough, or when you want to get in the photo also. Tri-pods are great when using slow shutter speed and trying to capture those slow changes without the shake of your own hand. The Slik AMT Pro 700DX is that incredibly strong and stable tri-pod that you will have forever and this may be an over exaggeration, but I mean for a very very very long time.

We have recently been very motivated to give out equipment recommendations that are geared to protecting your investment. Last week, we did a rain cover to protect your camera from hard rain and dusty winds and today we are recommending a quality bag to store your camera, lenses, flashes, tri-pod, and more. You name it, this bag can snuggle it in (within reason of course). When building your collection of camera equipment it is easy to lose a memory card here or a lens there if you do not have one safe place to store them; therefore, we are recommending the Think Tank Streetwalker bag. This series of camera bags are incredible with durable material, quality construction, reasonable price, and plenty of support on your back and shoulders, which can be the hardest part about lugging around all of your equipment. While Jason has recently received the Streetwalker pro to load up his equipment for the tough terrain of Iceland, he suggests the smallest streetwalker bag because it is a little more compact, convenient, and still fits all of your equipment well. Check out the full blog and links here When looking through which camera’s and lenses you want to invest in, one of the features they love to throw out there is that the camera is water resistant. But, the truth of the matter is that the camera body and lenses, while SLIGHTLY water resistant are not waterproof. In San Diego, we do not have too much of an issue with excessive rain, however, there have been cases where even dust, a drizzle or too much moisture has caused a camera to stop working. The worst part about this is that camera warranties usually don’t consider water damage under issues they fix for free. That is why keeping your camera dry is very important not only for the sake of your camera, but your wallet. That is also why we are recommending investing in a rain cover for your camera to withstand horrible weather conditions. We are talking about the Think Tank Hydrophobia 70-200!

San Diego Photographer There is always difficulty becoming completely pro at the countless list of different aspect of photography. If we could, we would devote 3 hours to every aspect on that list, but for now we have added two more to the list of outdoors, headshots, portraits, studio lighting, low lights, etc. Due to suggestions and requests, we have added these two new classes to the Right Light Photography Class schedule. The two classes are Controlling Action & Motion Photography and Learning the Basics of Editing in Adobe Lightroom. Check out our full blog and links to the classes here By: Lauren Lopez
San Diego Photographer Some of the most eye catching photos are those that catch a butterfly on a flower and the detail is so close you can see the ridges on the legs, the hairs on its wings and the pollen on the flower. This type of photography is very popular, most likely because it is hard to catch these moments even with the human eye. Catching a perfect macro photo is sometimes just luck. Luck that the spider decided to pause long enough on its web to snap that great photo. Luck that the bee rested on the flower for enough time to grab your camera, focus, and record the moment. I am talking about macro photography and the wonders and accomplishment you feel when you catch that incredible shot! This week when choosing a macro lens to recommend Jason was so clear with his answer. He said there were some slight differences in the brand lens (Canon, Nikon, etc.), but honestly you couldn’t beat the 3rd party, Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Macro Lens. “You can’t beat the sharpness of the Tamron lens and it is half the price of a new Canon or Nikon Macro lens.” Sounds good to us, because if there is one thing a photographer loves is quality equipment at a great value.

San Diego Photographer There comes a time when your desire to invest more into your photography overwhelms you and the want to get more range and consistent professional photos becomes necessary. That is why this week we are recommending the professional camera body. These camera bodies take you a step up with incredible capabilities and ranges that will not only improve your photography, but can become the only camera you will ever need to buy again. Both of these cameras take into account the photographer who is ready to take that step up and wants to get started in photography on a more professional or higher quality level. This week Jason is recommending the Canon EOS 60D and the Nikon D7000. Jason believes that both of these cameras are amazing and will be a true investment in your passion of photography.
