Hello Ladies and Gents!
Well, today was my first day off work since I started this blog (actually my first day off work in 13 days). Now, what that ultimately means is that I haven’t talked anybody’s ear off about camera equipment. Well, that is almost accurate… I did speak briefly to Vanessa, and we discussed the fact that her 4GB memory card simply isn’t enough for a major event like a wedding or something to that effect. So, we discussed getting more memory cards for her, and I also mentioned some other options. Several companies make a portable hard drive that have built in memory card readers. Many photographers use these for two major purposes, 1: many of them can separate into a separate folder each time you upload your memory card, so if you are shooting different subjects and need to keep them easily organized and separated, you can set the machine to do that automatically, 2: it offers you much more hard drive space to store your images over a longer period of time. These products come in a range of prices and brands. My personal experience lies with the Epson P-5000 which has 80GB of space and a 4″ display LCD screen for viewing the images. Now, this particular model has been discontinued, but its updated models increase Hard Drive space and simplify operation, and run around $500. There are other options from other brands that are much less expensive but many don’t offer an LCD screen or as much storage space.
As per usual, feel free to send me any questions or comments and I’ll make sure I answer as soon as possible! If you want me to write about something specific, just let me know!
Until Tomorrow,
Douglas
