Running out of wall space for your little Picasso? Is your refrigerator at its maximum magnet capacity? There are several great ways to display all the artwork your children create without overloading the front of the fridge or your office bulletin board.

Step 1 is to create digital files of your young artist's drawing, painting or print. So, if anything happens to the original artwork, you'll still have a copy on file that you can reproduce and enjoy for many years. The original drawing or painting needs to be scanned.. If you don't have a scanner, you can go to any business that prints photos or provides copy services and they can scan your items and put them on a disk for you pretty inexpensively. Gather up several pieces to take with you and have them scanned and copied to a disk all at once.

The resolution of the images is important and what you choose depends on what you want to use them for and the final size they need to be. The DPI, or dots per inch, refers to the physical size of an image when it is reproduced on paper or displayed on a monitor. If you want to have the image printed onto a purse or mousepad, make sure the images are scanned at 150 dpi or higher. If the images will stay on a computer screen or end up on a website, 72 dpi will be plenty.

If you're not sure how you will use the images, always scan them at the highest quality available.

A flatbed scanner work best for digitizing artwork. Taking a photo of the piece doesn't work as well. The scanner presses the artwork flat and the light source is even across the entire surface of the piece so it will look as much like the original as possible.

The sky's the limit on what you can do with kid's drawings after you digitize them.

Weddings are some of the biggest events for people.There are a lot of things that are needed to be accomplished to coordinate a wedding.  You have to coordinate the ceremony.You need to cordinate all the locations that people will go to.You need to organize things for the reception.  Those are just some of the things that need to be looked into for a wedding.But a photographer is one of the jobs that is crucial.

Why do I say a wedding photographer is so crucial?  The fact that I am a San Diego photographer doesn’t make me biased.A photographer is needed because they have the tough job of capturing the events through photos on that special day.  And if he or she is a good one they will do it well.It’s not just point and click when I say do it well.Anyone with a digital camera can do that.  No a photographer who can do it well is someone who can turn the photos into something memorable.

That is why you don’t just want anybody.  You want an artist. Because being able to catch such an important moment in time is an art.Being able to relive the emotions to someone looking at the pictures is a gift.You should hire a photographer who can do that if you are really planning on hiring one.  That is why as a San Diego wedding photographer I try to show through my work to prospective clients the thought and care put into those shots.They are not just slideshows to be shown to your guests or to be looked at after the wedding.They are shots full of emotions immortalized in a photo.

You also have to hire someone who understands the enormity of the event and his job. That is why I emphasize to my clients the fact that my experience is doing event photography San Diego. That way they will know that I know how special that day is going to be.Hopefully, you should be looking for the same things if your are planning to hire one.Because if you do, you will relive the craziness of that day because it is captured forever in those photos.

When most couples plan their wedding day they take a lot of things into consideration. They coordinate the date according to vacation times from work.  Or they coordinate the day on what is best maybe for family to make it into town.  Or they plan it based upon maybe available venues, like the church or the restaurant.

But one of the biggest things they fail to plan for on the wedding day is the photographer. Don’t think this is something small.  And I am not just saying it because I am a wedding photographer. 

No planning the wedding day with the wedding photographer in mind could mean all the difference in the world. Especially when you realize that the photos are what are going to last a lifetime.

What are some of the factors when you start planning with the photographer in mind.  The time and the date.

Let’s start with the time.  How many people do you think would want their photographer to rush taking the photos?  I am pretty sure most people will not raise their hand to that. 

Well without even thinking about your photographer, a lot of times couples will do just that. The couple or family basically rush the photographer to try and take all the pictures. 

How so you say? Well let’s say, the couple makes the ceremony between 1-2 pm.  With the reception starting at 2:30. How many shots can a photographer make when he only has a half hour to work with?  Not many.

Worse thing to consider, what if he does manage to take all the photos?  Do you think they will be of the best quality when the shots are rushed?  Of course not.

So plan the wedding and reception with enough time in between to take the photos.

Second thing to consider when planning with the photographer in mind is your photographer’s availability.

Most probably don’t realize this, but most good photographers will be booked months in advance. Let’s say you are dealing with a large photography company, they probably have a few photographers.

Well planning your wedding without considering your photographer’s availability could turn into a nightmare.  Because if you book that special day and don’t make sure that the actual photographer will be available, when your wedding day comes you might be shocked to find someone totally different.

This can happen when dealing with a large photographer company.  You might not realize they have plenty of photographers on staff, and if the photographer you fell in love with is booked, unless you specifically ask, the company might not tell you. When the wedding day comes, a second rate photographer or worse yet, they might outsource the work and somebody else will show up.

So be prepared and don’t let this happen. Planning that special wedding day can be truly wonderful.  Make sure you plan it also with your wedding photographer in mind.

In this current time period of digital cameras, you probably think all you need to do is point and click to take great photos.Hold on, don’t go so fast.  The truth is you can have the top of the line digital camera, but if you don’t know what you are doing, you will take lousy shots.

Well, I’d love to share with you some great advice in photography to help improve your skills.  These tips are coming from years of experience as a San Diego wedding photographer.  These tips all involve lighting and they are going to be some of the biggest keys to your success in taking your photos.

First tip in lighting.Now if the shots you will take are going to be outdoors during the day, the natural sunlight will be some of the best lighting possible.  Now you are probably thinking, “that’s easy, when you are a San Diego photographer since it is always shiny there”, when in actuality really bright sunlight can cast harsh shadows.Or it could blur the details of faces when the sun is overhead.

Overall, you are going to want to take most of the shots with the sun behind you.This eliminates any harsh shawows from effecting your shot from the sun.But there will be those times and instances when you want different angles to get those shadows into the shots.

Now that we know what to do during the day shots, what if you have to take some night shots? 

The key technique for night photos is actually turning off your flash.Now if it is pictch black, of course you will need it, but if there are some lighting, use it, but make sure the shutter speeds are slower to let the light in.Also, stay steady when you are taking your photograph or you will cause the picture to blur.  Doing these couple of tricks can make a dramatic difference when taking night shots. 

The final piece of advice to use for lighting is using the golden hour to capture great shots.Now there is a time that photographers refer to as the “golden hour” or “magic hour”, and that is during sunrise and sunset.

During these times of the day you will capture great shots that allow you to capture more warmer and inviting colors.You’ll be able to get that golden lighting that isn’t available during any other time of day.

There you go.Probably the biggest secret in taking great photographs is taking advantage of the natural lighting.  Knowing what techniques to use for different parts of the day, or just scheduling a photo shoots to capture those times of day will help you become an excellent photographer.

A wedding is one of the most important events that will occur in a person’s life. Hours and hours go into all of the planning for the wedding. Probably all of the list of things to do in wedding planning are frustrating, stressful, and time consuming. That’s why it is crucial that your homework is done when trying to find good people for all the jobs.One of the very big jobs will be that of the photographer. From my experience as a San Diego wedding photographer I’ll show you it can be a few simple steps away.

Finding any wedding photographer is a huge task. There are several factors to consider when making this important selection. The photographs that you get from your wedding day will be some of the most memorable moments that you. The photos will be all over your walls for the rest of yourlife. One of the important factors when trying to find a photographer is price. Most photographers do charge a price for a specific amount of time for the wedding. It is important to know what will be included with that price up front
price. When it comes to finding a wedding photographer, the biggest upside to pricing is there is a lot of competition. Remember, that a lot of photographers can and will negotiate their price a little bit to fit what you need.

Another thing to think about and consider when choosing is the experience a person may have. Is this their firs big wedding job, or have they done a few dozen or more? Their price might be an indication of how many years they have been in business as well. Just because someone has a lot of experience doesn’t always mean they will be better. Sometimes those people that are just starting out and trying to build a name for themselves will turn out to be excellent. The advantage of a person like that and going with them is you know they are going to give it their best. When looking for a wedding photographer, you will find people with varying levels of experience. Doing an interview with a photographer can give you a good sense of what they will be like to work with.

A final thing for you to take into account when trying to decide is the personality the photographer has. Are they likely going to try call all the shots and decide on all your poses? Or will they let the bride and groom make some of the decisions themselves? The other thing to think about is do you want to be the one to make the decisions on the photos. The bride and groom might have enough to worry about that day as it is. Take these factors and consider them when you choose your photographer. If you do, no doubt you will have some beautiful photos to cherish for the rest of your lives.  Take it from me, your experienced San Diego photographer.
