Web Photography

Today I'm on my way out to the High Hand Gallery to take a couple of framed photographic images to replace some I'm bringing home. BTW, I can't remember if I mentioned before that my photo transfers were juried in - so there's five new pieces of artwork for the next two months, too!

I'm also going to pick up a photo box from the client I'm photographing her candle products for the web. I tried yesterday taking the shots with just my tri-fold white cardboard easel, but that wasn't really working. I just didn't want to shell out $$ for the nylon photo box. It's hard to find them by themselves as I already have lighting equipment and tripods. So for now, I'm borrowing hers. In addition, I did go online and ended up at a photography school website for any pointers I may have overlooked, which I found out I was already on top of things for this one.

I did a previous photo shoot for this client for her website, and this time I need to shoot the photos in RAW, per her request. So this leads me to another subject that I am 'learning' about. Number one, they say shooting in RAW is the best way to shoot digital as it maintains the true colors of the subject matter. However, one should save them as JPEGs, but also keep the original RAW files for future use without manipulations that you may end up making to them. So the problem is STORAGE SPACE! I shot my Bodie and Yosemite pics in RAW. I still haven't uploaded them as I'm thinking I need another type of offline storage system. And I just haven't had the time to get over to Best Buy and speak with someone, let alone purchase IT! I'd like to sound somewhat intelligent. It's just another 'thing' for me to take care of before my upcoming trip.
