This And That

August 31, 2009 Free Downloads, Photography, Tutorials  5 comments

I figured I’d pop in here today and post some links and info that you might want to read about…whether you’re a beginner or a pro.

I get this question asked a lot, “What point and shoot camera would you recommend?”.  I recently just picked up the Canon Powershot SD1200is.  It’s small, it fits in my purse, and it’s super duper easy to use.  You literally turn it on and shoot!  I keep it with me all the time ‘just in case’.  I love love love it for landscape shots!  You can check out some of my favorite images taken with this camera on flickr HERE.  Keep in mind that I do process all of my images taken with it in Lightroom or Photoshop.  I just don’t get the great color with it as I do with my DSLR.  It’s got a nice little macro setting...

New Product For Photographers

I’ve added a brand new product to the shop at Pink Ink Studios today.  It’s a set of seven Lightroom 2 PRINT Templates that are sized to fit the 12″x12″ Shutterfly Album.

Find them in the shop HERE.

Please note that these are NOT develop presets.  These are to be used within the PRINT screen inside Lightroom 2.  Basic directions are included on how to install and use.  Once your templates are installed, and you’ve created your first layout….you can then print directly to your home printer from Lightroom 2 (if your home computer can print 12″ wide) or save the file as a jpg to upload to Shutterfly to create your 12″x12″ album.

I recently created my own Shutterfly Album with my May 2009 Roadtrip pictures.  I used my photoshop .psd templates and it was pretty easy.  BUT..these Lightroo...

Epcot Trip

My husband and I are lucky enough to live about two hours away from Walt Disney World.  This past Sunday we did a day trip up there to meet up with my cousin and her finace’ that are down vacationing from MA.  We had a great time.  We also have become seasonal pass holders!  We were both born and raised in FL and as many times as we do go up to Disney, we haven’t ever gotten the yearly passes before.  Now we’ve got them, so Disney will be seeing a lot of us for the next year!

I knew it would be hot (August in Florida is HOT)…and I didn’t want to drag a bag with all my photo gear around with me the whole time so I just brought the little Canon Powershot SD1200is with me.  I wore some capri cargo pants with lots of pockets and was able to carry everything on me...
