How To Make Money Using Your Digital Camera
Making money with nothing more than your digital camera and some talent can be a great way to bring in some extra income. In this guide we will give you an introduction in doing just that.
What you will need:
I guess the obvious thing to state here is a digital camera! Although don't rule out using a 35mm camera just yet. The digital camera does provide many benefits over the film camera with fewer overheads, but it is still very realistic to use a film camera to do the same thing. After all people have been doing it for over a century.
Although most digital cameras these days provide a superior image when used, there are several features that you should look out for to help get the most out of your pictures;
Optical zoom - to get some great zoom shots if needed
A camera that has a resolution in excess of 3 - 4 megapixels or more. This is primarily to meet your image quality and printing needs. It is hugely beneficial if a customer wants a nice large print of a photograph or if you need to crop an image. The more megapixels the more freedom you have to do this without losing image quality
An LCD monitor - great for reviewing shots as you take them. But make sure it is easily viewable in all light conditions especially if your camera doesn't have a viewfinder.
A macro mode to allow for close-up shots.
A focus assist lamp - this is a usually a visible light that comes on to help the camera focus before taking a shot in lower lighting conditions.
Thats primarily all of the equipment you need to get started. But what skills do you need with your camera? Sometimes taking the perfect picture isn't always easy, so this next section will provide you with a few tips and tricks to help you get started.
Quite often when taking a photograph people literally 'push' the camera button, moving the camera and blurring the image. Instead try squeezing the camera. Pushing the camera upwards as you push down the button. This should help steady the camera and avoid the blur.
When taking formal photographs of people try to take two very quick photographs; one when everyone is poised and ready for the photo and the other immeadialty after you have taken the first. This is because people tend to relax after the shot has been taken and you may catch them in a much more natural pose.
Take more than one shot of the important photographs. This is because a lot can go wrong when taking a photograph, from someone looking the other way or kids pulling faces at the camera. Taking several can allow you pick the best and throw away all of the rest.
When taking photographs of people try to pick a neutral background that won't distract too much attention from the people in it.
Landscape photographs can quite often turn out plain and boring when taken mid-day. So, try to take them in the early morning or late afternoon when the shadows stretch further along the ground. This will create a much more atmospheric and interesting photograph
Now we have covered the basics of equipment and some tips on how to catch those special moments or locations. But now you have these beautiful photographs how can you make any money from them?
One way is to setup a website and host your images online. Allowing people to see just exactly what you offer before they hire you. This is often a great way to attract extra business. People always love to try before they buy, so including a wide range of some of your best, high quality images will often give excellent proof of what you can do, enticing the prospective client into hiring you.
If you can't build the site yourself, don't worry! All is not lost yet. There are a plethora of online sites that will host your images some for free and some that charge. This is all down to personal preference, picking the host that best suits your needs. Google is your best weapon in this battle. Querying for 'image' or 'picture hosting' will bring the you back a list so you can start to select the most suitable candidates from.
Thats the more modern age approach to getting yourself noticed, but don't underestimate the simple word of mouth. Taking some great wedding photos free for friends and family can lead to good referrals and being hired by clients who want you at their special occasion. Ask yourself now - with your network of friends and family are their any upcoming opportunities for you to be the photographer? There are many other approaches to take down the more traditional route each with its pros and cons, but none the less still effective. Below is a small list of just a few;
Placing adds in your local shops or newspapers. This has the added bonus of not always having to travel far when looking for business.
getting yourself listed in your local business directory
I'm sure there are many more places you could think of yourself, these a just a gentle pointer in the right direction.
Now we have discussed the ways you can get your work noticed by prospective clients. But situations can arise where you can take your camera and take some photographs you can make for sale. Fund raises or special hosted events are a great place to take some profitable shots.
Newspapers are always interested in the best 'scoop' photographs, so why can't they be yours?
The truth is business for the photographer is abundant if you know where to look. Keeping a varied portfolio will also help keep you in business as photography can be seasonal. For example, there will be fewer fayres and weddings to get some great money making shots in the winter than in the summer. But like-wise in the winter there will be a greater opportunity for more festive themed shots, such as for family portraits on Christmas cards or dazzling fireworks display in November. There is no need to limit yourself.
I hope this has wet your appetite and provided a brief introduction into turning a pleasurable hobby into a living. A much further in depth e-report on this can be purchased for an incredible low offer price. at www.techologyonline.co.uk/Camera.html

Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum
Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum
The Tempo WidePath features a 15-inch cleaning path for super fast vacuuming when you need it the most. Plus, the WidePath cleans indoor air while you vacuum, thanks to an innovative allergen filtration system that traps 100 percent of dust mites, 99.98 percent of ragweed, and common grass pollens for cleaner breathing and fresher air. A powerful, 12 amp motor provides ample suction and doesn't leave anything behind. A brilliant headlight illuminates the cleaning path to ensure thorough vacuuming. Onboard tool storage keeps attachments, such as a dusting brush, furniture nozzle, crevice tool, and two extension wands in close reach. A smaller profile (approximately 33-1/4 by 18-1/2 by 9-1/2 inches) and lighter overall weight makes the Tempo WidePath easy to push, and easier to maneuver around and under furniture, too. And, your purchase is covered by a Hoover one-year warranty. Get a Tempo WidePath, and never get behind on the housework again! --Brian Olson
Customer Review: Sometimes Cheap Is Better
I was in the market for new vacuum...it's impossible to get good reviews from users, since most everyone hates to vacuum. I went with this cheap model that had relatively good reviews from Amazon users. Works great...and at the price it becomes a throw away product if it breaks.
Customer Review: great deal
Great product. It obviously isn't a high-end vacuum, but it is an AMAZING deal for the money. Occasionally have to go back over a spot, but genreally does a great job and is way cheaper than anything else. Great option for college students or anyone on a limited budget!
Hoover S3765-040 WindTunnel Electronic Bagless Canister Vacuum
Hoover S3765-040 WindTunnel Electronic Bagless Canister Vacuum
Hoover's latest canister stands out for its design-savvy looks, not to mention the fact that it cleans with powerful WindTunnel technology. Dirt particles are cleverly ducted away from the spinning agitators to ensure they're captured in the bagless dirt cup and not sent back out onto the carpet. The HEPA filter traps minute allergen particles and conveniently removes for cleaning. Large, soft wheels allow the compact 12-amp vacuum--which looks like it could play a robot extra in Star Wars--to maneuver easily. Best of all, the handgrip features electronic control buttons for power on and off, variable suction (allowing smooth transition from wood floors to area rugs), and agitator action speed for carpets. Tools are easily attached to the telescoping wand, making it a snap to switch from cleaning floors to using drape and upholstery tools. A one-year warranty covers this unique vacuum against defects.
Customer Review: Parts busted on first use!
I was so excited to be getting a decent vacuum cleaner and yes it was great on the hardwood floors but then i gave it a run on the rug and on came this fancy rotator brush which then busted 10 seconds later.. i haven't taken it apart yet but i think the belt is busted. thank goodness there is a simple nozzle for the floors i can use cause god knows i am too lazy to get the broken one fixed. disappointing. why do they need to put those stupid rotating brushes in vacuums anyway?
Customer Review: HOOVER WINDTUNNEL
Great vac! Powerful yet lightweight. Bagless container isn't so simple to clean though. Very satisfied overall. Great price!
Black and Decker CHV9600 9.6-Volt Cyclonic DustBuster
Black and Decker CHV9600 9.6-Volt Cyclonic DustBuster
Powerful suction and cordless mobility come together in the Black & Decker cyclonic DustBuster. An impressive 9.6 volts, the compact little vacuum makes quick work of dry spills around the house or cleanup in the car or woodshop. Like other DustBuster models, this one collects debris in a bagless pop-off container. In addition, it uses cyclonic suction to minimize clogging in the filter, in turn maximizing power and increasing run time. Easily controlled with one hand, the vacuum manages well and is relatively light for its power. A single sliding switch turns it on and off and a simple push button releases the dirt cup for emptying. Cleverly stored onboard, a crevice tool and a brush attachment help you target narrow spaces and upholstery. A charging base is also included and can be mounted to the wall for tidy storage and ongoing re-juicing. On a full charge, the machine runs up to 11 minutes at a stretch. Measuring approximately 15-1/2 inches long, it carries a full two-year warranty from Black & Decker. --Emily Bedard
Customer Review: convenient and versatile
We ordered the Black and Decker dustbuster on a sale and got it for $29- a fantastic buy for the money. It's very lightweight and can get into small spaces that you don't want to lug out your big vacuum or attachments for.
Customer Review: satisfied
very good product,I have been using dust busters for years.I would not buy anything else.

Customer Review: Good.
These guys are all extremely talented and impressive. That is the first thing that stands out. The second thing is their ability to combine very diverse styles. Third is their unique way of combining multiple styles. Also in there is the surprise at Mike Mattison's ability to sing with completely different voices and styles and have complete conviction on each. I'm primarily a guitar fan and Derek Trucks is one of the few newer guitarists who can really deliver and connect with music in a passionate way. This is a good DVD and definitely a great price, but even with all of that, I just expected a little more from it. It could be me, but I just didn't connect with the music as much as I thought I would and I found myself skipping ahead 4 or 5 times. I love long instrumental jams and this has plenty of that and as I said earlier, when Mike steps up to sing, he really delivers, but I enjoyed their stuff on Crossroads 2007 far more. They just seemed to have a higher energy and dynamic there. I like hard rock, blues, some jazz, 70's era fusion (Jeff Beck, Al Dimeola, John McLaughlin etc), older Funk and R & B grooves and I like things mixed up in extended jams, so I did find this DVD to be enjoyable because these guys mix some of those and other styles in their own way, but some of the other influences seemed to lower the pulse of some of the jams. Jam bands put certain genres as the jam's musical core and bring the other stuff into it and I think that the core style is key to how well I connect with it. I'd give this 4 out of 5 stars at best .... Worth the money if you just love honest, live music and watching excellent musicians show what they're capable of.
Customer Review: A Great Show
Just great music and entertainment. This band is in excellent form
right from the start and never slows down. Trucks is a true prodigy who
is at his finest here. A must have for anyone who likes to watch
live music DVD's.
