How can you save money on photography for your wedding? Do it yourself! DIY wedding photos won't sacrifice your precious wedding memories. Just make sure you are doing the wedding justice by creating a shot list before the ceremony.

As a traditional couple, you will want “classic” wedding portraits. Make sure you get the following shots for your do it yourself wedding album.

DIY Wedding Photo Shot List – Pictures of the Bride and Groom

Have the bride and groom stand in front of the church. Stand back from the couple so you can get their entire bodies into frame. Make sure to get the entire wedding gown in the picture.

Take a few steps forward, use your zoom, and take a close-up portrait of the bride and groom facing forward.

Have the bride and groom turn their heads and look into one another's eyes. Take a close-up.

Snap a photo of the bride and groom standing in front of the church on their wedding day.

DIY Wedding Photo Shot List – Photos of the Wedding Party

Every wedding album needs a picture that includes the entire wedding party. Line up the bridesmaids and groomsmen with the bride and groom in the center. The flower girl and ring bearer can stand in front of the attendants, but do not place them directly in front of the bride and groom. Doing so would block the bride's wedding gown.

Take some wedding photos of the bride with her bridesmaids. Then take some pictures of the groom with his groomsmen.

Make sure you get a picture of just the flower girl and ring bearer. These cute wedding photos will turn out great!

DIY Wedding Photo Shot List – Pictures of Family Members

Family plays an important role in any wedding. Make sure to include them in the wedding photographs.

Shoot the bride with her family and the groom with his family. Marriage unites these two families, so get a shot of them all together as well.

Make sure to get a picture with the grandparents as well.

DIY Wedding Photo Shot List – Photographs of The Ceremony

The ceremony is the most sacred part of the wedding. Don't be too intrusive while getting your shots. Here are some wedding photos you must get:

Each bridesmaid and groomsmen as they walk toward the altar

The flower girl and ring bearer as they walk down the aisle

The bride walking down the aisle and being given away

Close-up of the groom when he sees his bride

The bride and groom standing at the altar (from behind and from in front if you can manage)

The entire wedding party during the ceremony

Bride and groom's first kiss as a married couple

The couple lighting the unity candle

Bride and groom exchanging rings

Bride, groom, and attendants as they walk back down the aisle

DIY Wedding Photo Shot List – Reception Photos

The reception offers many opportunities to capture the spirit of celebration. Take a lot of journalistic style photographs during the reception of guests dancing, eating, and laughing.

In addition to these spontaneous photos, remember to snap the following pictures:

The bride, groom, and attendants in the receiving line

Groom removing and tossing the bride's garter

Bride tossing her bouquet

The wedding cake being cut and fed to the bride and groom (protect your camera from flying cake!)

The couple's first dance and dancing with their parents

The Most Important Tip for DIY Wedding Photography – Be Creative

This wedding photography shot list will get you started. It is not intended to limit your creativity. These are only the basic poses and wedding pictures a traditional couple would like to have in their wedding photo album. Take these basics and add your own ideas to create a unique wedding gift — the gift of memories.

Many of you will remember my BFF Karly of Karly Kim Photography from an anniversary session I did of her and her husband Carlos last month. Well Karly was in need of some headshots for her wedding photography website, so I was the Utah photographer that she chose to do them. We shot at Memory Grove and the Utah State Capitol, but we could’ve shot in front of some dumpsters and Karly still would’ve looked amazing. Karly has to be one of the funniest people I know and every time we hang out it’s nothing but buenos tiempos. She has an amazing sense of humor and an amazing knowledge of fashion. Please take a moment to scroll down and behold some of my personal favorites from the session….

Today, we're highlighting Todd Van Fleet – an outstanding photographer who is participating in The Big Picture – where great agencies and great photographers connect.

In Lander, Wyoming , a small town nestled in the middle of the Wind River Mountains there is no shortage of awe inspiring vistas and breathtakingly beautiful scenery to capture and entice an artist's eye. However, back in the 1980s, there was a shortage of art programs and support for a young Todd Van Fleet, who, even at the age of 8 or 9 knew he wanted to be an artist. But, that shortage did not stop Todd. Nor did that stop his parents from encouraging and supporting him. Whether it was drawing, painting or taking really bad pictures with his dad's old Pentax camera, Todd was driven to express his artistic impulses.

By the time Todd was a teenager, he was satisfying his artistic spirit by taking every elective art class available in his high school. He even appointed himself the sports photographer for the school newspaper. “Because there weren't any classes available, I literally taught myself how to use a 35mm camera on the field and even how to use the darkroom,” he remembers.

Todd was ambitious and serious enough about art that he decided to enter his paintings and drawings in Wyoming's annual State Art Symposium, an event that showcased the best of the state's young art talent. From there he was offered three portfolio scholarships to art schools. He chose the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design and moved to Denver in 1994. “Everything was my passion,” he says. Airbrush, drawing, painting in oils, illustration, photography.”

Since getting his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration from the Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design in 1998 Todd has been a freelance artist, creative director and photographer. Today he focuses on his “vintage bicycle portraits” based out of Denver, CO. Todd's work is a direct reflection of his love for everything that he sees a bicycle is; freedom, innovation, ingenuity, simplicity and the wind in your face feeling like a young kid again.

Todd's favorite thing to do is spend time with his wife and two daughters. Quite often they organize cruiser bike rides with their friends and community.

As of October 2009, Todd has been asked to serve as the photo editor for Kickstand Magazine. As you can imagine it is quite the appropriate fit.

As part of The Big Picture, Todd will shoot complimentary headshots of your agency's principals or workspace – allowing you to get to know him and how he works. The trade-off is that if you like his style, you'll use him for upcoming paid work.

To see more of Todd's work, or to contact him about an assignment for The Big Picture, check out his websites here or here.

If you're a photographer who would like to participate in The Big Picture, simply drop us a line and let us know.

‘DC Police’
courtesy of ‘Chris DiGiamo’

We told you this weekend about the DC photographer who says he was detained by MPD officers while shooting a traffic stop in Georgetown. My initial complaint about the account was that the photographer, Jerome Vorus, hadn’t gotten names of the officers who stopped him or apparently followed up with a complaint to the MPD. Turns out, I was wrong.

Via Carlos Miller’s Photography is Not A Crime site, we get a little more followup based on Miller’s phone interview with Vorus:

A few days later, Vorus spoke to a Sgt. Mercer at the police department to file a complaint.

“He said those officers were incorrect and that anyone can take pictures on public property,” he said. “He also told me he would speak to the officers to get their side of the story.

“It was Tuesday and he told me to call him back on Wednesday.”

Vorus called back on Thursday and surprise, surprise, the sergeant was no longer so cooperative.

“He now had an attitude. He said the officers told him I was taking pictures of inside the police cars. I told him all the pictures I took are posted on my blog.”

Sigh.

I applaud Vorus for following through and pressing MPD to be accountable for the incident. Let’s hope he gets a straight answer from them soon.

5 Elements to Being a Good Still Photographer on the Set of an Independent Film

I was photographing in the last couple of months – please tell me if you think they are good:

Temple monkey family (macaques), Khao Takiab near  Hua Hin, Thailand by _Zinni_

I was staggering under the weight of wedding planning until a friend suggested I ask my photographer to make recommendations for other vendors. It was the best wedding advice I ever received.

My wedding photographer had been working the local circuit for several years. She had worked in every venue and had tasted hundreds of wedding cakes. With her eye for detail and the scope of her experience, she was a wealth of wedding information. She knew which videographers were jerks, which caterers were sloppy, and which DJ's knew how to party. She gave me a list of wedding vendors she'd worked with in the past, ones she knew could create a seamless day of wedded bliss.

Working from the photographer's list, I was able to make connections with wedding vendors whose judgment I knew could trust. When she couldn't recommend another vendor, someone else on her list could. These vendors were able to give me advice on everything from which flowers could withstand the summer heat to which color palettes looked best at my reception venue.

Combining their experience with my own ideas, I was able to create a wedding that was everything I'd dreamed of, without the hassle of interviewing five different vendors for each need. Using the photographer's recommendations I quickly put together a team of people who I already knew would work together successfully and whom I could rely on to be courteous and professional.

When deciding on a photographer, assess his or her experience and familiarity with weddings in your area. A new photographer probably won't have worked with many other vendors. A photography company with many photographers may not provide the level of personal service you could expect with a photographer in business for himself. Also, be sure that your photographer's personal style matches your own – if you're thinking of hiring an artsy photographer but desire a traditional wedding, her recommendations may not be useful in creating your dream wedding.

Once you've found a photographer you're excited to work with, start asking for advice. Find out which locations are the most romantic, what food tastes the best (photographers are usually offered a meal during the reception), and which florists create breathtaking bouquets. You may even be able to find out which wedding dress styles are most flattering in photos.

You can pay for a pricey wedding planner to find the best wedding vendors, or you can ask for personal recommendations from your photographer and spend more of your budget on that gorgeous gown.

5 Elements to Being a Good Still Photographer on the Set of an Independent Film

The Kodak EasyShare Z7590 is a great mid-range camera for the amateur photographer who is looking for something with the simplicity of point-and-shoot as well as the ability for more creative control. The vast array of pre-programmed modes allow maximum flexibility in taking photographs in any kind of situation, and the manual override controls give you the freedom to take things to the next level. The Kodak EasyShare Z7590 also has the option of applying a variety of different accessory lenses, only furthering the ability to capture stunning photographs.

When I was in the market to buy a digital camera, I did quite a bit of searching in order to find the type of camera that would best suit my wide variety of photographic needs. I wanted a camera that would not only have the ease of casual photo opportunities with the kids in the back yard, but also have the features that would allow me to be a bit more creative with my photography. I quickly realized that the Kodak EasyShare Z7590 was the perfect camera for me.

The maximum 5 megapixel resolution meant that it would be more than capable of not only producing a quality 8 x 10 print, but it would also allow me the flexibility of cropping and manipulating my photos in a photo imaging software. The 2.2 inch high-resolution display screen meant that I would be able to clearly see a review of my photograph, whether I was indoors or out. Other features, like the high-speed, low-light precision auto-focus, continuous shooting and bracketing modes, and variety of exposure mode options made it even more of a sure bet.

The Kodak EasyShare Z7590 comes with 16 programmed scene modes including:

Portrait modes-portrait, self-portrait, night portrait, backlight

Landscape modes-landscape, night landscape, fireworks

Bright scene modes-beach and snow

Action modes-sport and children

Close up modes-macro and flower

Party mode-use for photos of people in indoor setting in lower light

Text/Documents mode-ensures sharp text when photographing documents

Manner/Museum mode-use when sound or flash are not desired

The programmed scene modes make it easy to change the settings of your camera depending on the situation you're in or the type of photograph you want to take.

There are also 5 color modes available to choose from, including: High color, Low color, Natural color, Sepia, and Black and white. These color modes provide for a variety of creative options when taking photographs.

As well as the programmed scene modes, there are also a variety of different manual controls with allow you to control the exposure compensation, aperture, shutter speed, ISO equivalents, exposure metering, white balance, and flash compensation. The custom mode setting allows you to create your own capture mode settings and have the camera remember them until you change them again. There is also the ability to set the mode of the camera to program mode, which allows the camera to set the optimal shutter speed and aperture combination; aperture priority mode, which lets you choose the aperture and allows the camera to set the shutter speed; or shutter priority mode, where you choose the shutter speed and let the camera set the aperture. And, if all of this weren't enough – the camera comes with a video mode as well, allowing you to capture digital video with the simple turn of a dial.

These settings allow you to have the freedom to have fun with your camera just by playing with the different mode settings and seeing your finished result.

Priced at around $299, the Kodak EasyShare Z7590 is an excellent value and provides enough features to make even the casual photographer produce professional photographs.

Finally, something to fight the emptiness.

You don’t know how I’ve longed just for some pictures.

Being single has become pretty soul-crushingly lonely, lately. I haven’t really had the time or energy to leave the house, let alone go out to a club or a gym or somewhere else people might congregate. I’m having a hard time meeting women.

Which is why I got this Catronics 8” Digital Photo Frame.

I can upload my favorite pictures and music using any of the major memory card formats and watch slideshows set to my favorite tunes. It’s a great way to keep photos of family, friends, and the like close by and in constant rotation.

Or, in my case, a daily upload of my Google search results for “girlfriend” set to Type O Negative’s “I Don’t Wanna Be Me.”

Sure, I’ve got a calendar and alarm clock on here, too. But I haven’t really had a reason to use either of them yet.

The fashion show included a ballet performance by Rebecca Morrall and a display of more than 130 specially crafted gowns paraded by models on the catwalk. Guests were able to take home handmade chocolates, mini cakes, long-stemmed white roses and a showbag of goodies including a Gift Voucher on all Chic by Sha collections.

Fiznatty aka Max Waugh is no stranger to our Photo of the Day. His latest is called “The Hunter and the Mountain.”

While trying to seek wildlife to photograph, Max instead managed to get this great shot of a the Andes in the Argentina portion of Patagonia. I'll let him explain the long-exposure shot:

In case of poor animal sightings, seek landscapes.

That was the advice I gave to myself before the trip. Knowing beforehand that I may not have the best luck with wildlife, I wanted to be sure to visit a couple of Patagonia's famous mountains in hopes of catching some striking sunrises on the massive towers of Mt. Fitz Roy, Cerro Torre and Torres del Paine. Of course, since I was pretty far down in the southern hemisphere and needed to hike to some of the more ideal viewpoints, this meant early wakeup calls. This time it was 3am, on another morning 2:30.

We arrived pretty early on this one particular morning, and with nothing better to do than avoid the trailside skunks and jog in place to combat the biting cold wind, I spent my time taking long exposures. Had I started earlier, star trails may have been in the offing, but at this point I was happy to capture Orion looming over the peak of Mt. Fitz Roy. Streetlights from the town of Chalten provide the golden glow reflecting off the hills in the foreground.

You don't have to be a pro like Max to be featured on Gadling's Photo of the Day!

Are you a Flickr user who'd like to share a travel related picture or two for our consideration? Submit it to Gadling's Flickr group right now! We just might use it.

I tried to build the jQuery plugin with as much flexibility as I could. There are a large number of default settings that can be overridden globally or on an as-needed basis (as done in the code above). Because the photo tagging life-cycle requires persistence, you do have to provide it with load, save, and delete URLs.

This is probably the most complicated piece of jQuery that I have ever created; as such, writing this was a lot of trial an error. The approach uses a combination of standard jQuery plugin architecture and object oriented programming (OOP). The plugin defines a private controller class and then instantiates a new instance of that controller class to be used for every photo-tagging element on the page. This felt really good to do, but I have not idea how this falls in terms of jQuery plugin best practices.

Right now, it's a bit buggy in IE. IE doesn't seem to like mouse over events on clear background. IE also seems to hate moving the mouse while the CTRL key is pressed. I'll have to do some digging to see if there are ways around this, or if I simply have to find a different approach. At least now that this is an official project, it gives me a place to post my updates in a meaningful manner.

If anyone has any suggestions about this or things that they would like added / changed, please let me know.

Yes Mike, I got it wrong. There are a signficant number of references to hotlinking and htaccess (not all from me) in this discussion, including someone before the site owner (who isn't clearly identified as the site owner) saying that the images were hotlinked.

As for “full sized image”, since I could not see the site because it was already taken down, I refer to the original quote on your story:

“claiming that by showing the stock photos from iStockPhoto.com (and linking back, with watermark in place)”

Notice he didn't say “showing reduced sized thumbnails”.

So yes, I was wrong about one thing, and not so wrong about another, as I made an assumption based on your original post, which wasn't very clear. Thumbnails would have made a difference (depending on their size, as always).

I hope this clears things up, and apologies to the site owner. However, I am not comfortable with the idea of taking content off of a site and uploading it to another for your use. The thumbnails are part of the original site's content and design, so it isn't entirely clear that you had rights to them.

Again Mike, I hope this clears it up. I hope that you can admit that the original post wasn't entirely clear on the subject(s) either.

Interchangeable Magnetic Photo Cube You Make in Minutes

  • Posted on February 3, 2010 at 11:29 am

I have taken some Pix in the last months – please tell me your thoughts:

Pilous bloom - Haarige Blüte by Maggi_94

Foto Weblog Tell me if you like them – i love to discuss the photos with you!

One hour photo processing is becoming more and more common to see. Some of the places that you will find it available are in your local pharmacies and drugstores. The ability to print out your digital photos in a one hour lab with the help of the internet is also becoming more common to be able to print your pictures at a lab from home. There are pharmacies that offer this on their website and here are a few of the pharmacies that do.

Walgreens

Walgreens offers you the ability to order prints online that can either be delivered to your home, or printed out at a local Walgreens that has a one hour photo. If you want to have your prints delivered to your home you can choose standard USPS, 2 days or overnight. The more prints that your order has will increase the cost of shipping, like the delivery speed you choose. Here are what the prices are to print your digital pictures out online with Walgreens.

4 x 6 (1+ prints): 19¢
5 x 7 (1 print): $1.59 (2+ prints): $1.00
8 x 10 (1 print): $2.99 (2+ prints) $2.50

Now the prices above do not include the cost of shipping if you choose the option to have them delivered to your house.

CVS

Another widely available drugstore that offers one hour photo services online is CVS Pharmacy, Consumer Value Stores. CVS Pharmacy also offers standard USPS, 2 day express and next day express for delivery options for shipping your prints to your home. Here are the prices of the prints from CVS Pharmacy.

4×6 Print (One Hour): $0.19 (1-2 Business Days): $0.10
5×7 Print: $1.49
8×10 Print: $3.99

Keep in mind that these prices do not include shipping and that orders that are received by 3:00 PM Saturday through Thursday are for 1-2 day service. Friday orders are 2-3 day serve and pickup times will vary by store.

Rite Aid

The drugstore Rite Aid is another pharmacy that offers a one hour photo service online but does not offer the option of shipping your digital prints to your home. Once your order is placed your prints will be ready at your local Rite Aid, with in the restrictions of the one hour photo center within the Rite Aid. 4 x 6 prints are 19¢ each.

Savon Drugs

Savon Drugs offers a standard delivery, about 3 to 5 days, option and an express delivery, 1 to 2 days, option if you would like your prints to be delivered to your home. There are three delivery speed options that Savor Drugs offers. The cheapest is 3 to 10 business days after processing, second cheapest 2 business days after processing and most costly 1 business day.

4 x 6: $0.15
5 x 7: $0.99
8 x 10: $3.99

These figures do not include the cost of shipping and since Savon Drugs uses a third party they can not guarantee that the prices will be exact for the orders that are 1 hour and picked up at your local Savon Drugs.

Depending on where you live and which of these pharmacies you use will play into which you decide to have your prints developed at.

It is the classic campaign photo/video; “the candidate voting”.

The candidate shows-up all smiles at his/her polling place. The media has been tipped off well in advance…and they are there to capture the candidate voting for him/herself…with the spouse and maybe their adorable children in tow.

Campaign workers may make sure the candidate knows the name of the polling workers he/she may have to report to. There may even be a few backers asked to come to polling place at the same time for an allegedly spontaneous moment of someone yelling, “You got my vote!”

Aside from the victory or concession speech…it is among the last bits of stage-craft for a candidate…and among the easiest to pull off.

David Hoffman followed the standard 'script'. This morning, the Democratic candidate for Illinois' US Senate seat showed up at his polling place at Chicago's Pritzker School. Hoffman walked in with his wife, Monique…and son, Grayson. The not-quite-2-year-old announced to reporters, “I voted.”

A warm and fuzzy moment that might get replayed all day.

The voting photo op for Democratic front-runner Alexi Giannoulias never happened…which is too bad for him.

The primary contest…according to polls…has tightened in recent weeks. Giannoulias has been dogged by a series of bad developments in the family business…Broadway Bank…where he worked before getting elected State Treasurer.

A good photo op of Giannoulias voting would at least give the candidate a chance to change the recent video loop of Giannoulias…somber faced…answering serious questions about the troubled family bank.

But Giannoulias voted early. That denied him the classic voting photo op. Instead…the Giannoulias campaign sent out an e-mail alert  that the candidate this morning would be at polling place on the Northwest Side of Chicago…to greet voters.

Fox News had a crew there waiting. The Chicago Tribune had a photographer in place, too. A Giannoulias campaign staffer greeted the media…and went about the business of coordinating the event. That was made more challenging by the lack of voters at the polling place.

Then, the Giannoulias campaign staffer…apparently…left…unannounced.

About 15-minutes later…Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy contacted the staffer by phone. The staffer disclosed the event…had been cancelled. The candidate was not coming and the staffer was on the way to another assignment.

It has not been a good couple of weeks for Giannoulias…and today's not off to a good start.

“Seize the Moment” This is one of my favorite sayings. How often do we take advantage of the MOMENT? The moment is instantaneous. What happens right now will not happen again, ever! Will you remember the moment?

Photography is the art of capturing an image of that moment. It could be a face, a plant or a mountain. It could be something that will be there tomorrow but will look different or it could be something that won't be seen again. I read in a comic book once of a conversation between a father and son. The young son asked his father why old photos were always in black and white and new photos were in color? His father said there was always color film in the old days, but the world was only in black and white then! It was funny but some of our most famous photography “artist” worked in black and white such as Ansel Adams. He and so many others were artists that couldn't make up their work but had to capture it at the right instant of time.

I was going through some photos with my wife the other day. Some of them would take my breath away. They were images captured in time of babies in our family. Some of these babies are now 5, 8, 10, 14, 17 years of age. They are my children, nephews and nieces. Some of them are of my wife and her sisters. They're baby pictures! They are an instant caught in time. They were either taken by my in-laws or given to them as gifts. They may not have been present at the time the photo was taken but they had that image of that instant in time to carry with them until they died. These images were no different than the images that Ansel Adams gave me as a gift when he photographed San Francisco bay where the Golden Gate Bridge is before it was built. He gave me a memory that I could not have had otherwise. My family and my sister-in-laws' families gave my mother -in-law and father-in-law memories that they would never have had if it weren't for photography.

Even if you aren't a great photographer, a picture is still worth a 1,000 words. When a newborn baby comes home from the hospital and the family and extended family come by to see him or her, what comes out? Of course, the cameras come out and start snapping. I learned two schools of thought from photographers that I took courses from. One was in a roll of 36 exposures, 34 better be the top quality photos that you intend to sell. The other photographer taught that in a roll of 36 exposures, expect 2-3 quality photos that are worthy of selling. What I learned from this is spend your time taking posed photos but keep snapping for candid photos.

If you are taking photos of babies or children, take your time for both types of photos. I personally do not like posed photography but that's me. I prefer to capture a child that is at play trying to solve a problem or just being natural. I like the expressions when they are deep in thought or interacting with other children. I found a photo of my son that I took through a car window when he was five holding his hand up with his fingers stretched out. That photo is so memorable to me because I sent it to my mother before she passed away. It was exactly the same photo that my mother took of me when I was five years old.

May I suggest that you seriously consider studying photography to get a better understanding of the capabilities of using a camera properly? If you are just starting out, you need to start with the basics and work from there.
