I've got this idea about Dreamstime selling vector brushes! Brushes are easy to create from a vector shape/illustration and very easy to use!

A set of brushes should cost more than one brush and so on...

What do you think?

A couple days ago I decided to buy a tripod. I found out a couple important things to have I mind when buying a tripod. But first: Why a tripod?

If you don’t have a tripod, perhaps you have encountered following problems: shooting sharp images in poor light, making sharp HDR images, successful use of low shutter speed etc. There you have some reasons for purchasing a tripod. Your macro shots can also improve if you use a steady tripod.

There are a lot of different tripods to choose from and the prices vary. I’ll concentrate on usual tripods (there are pro studio tripods as well).

Five important things to have in mind:

• Weight – a heavy tripod won’t be easy to carry around

• Stretchable legs – how low can you set the camera on the tripod

• Head â€...

All of us got the message, I hope; we are getting one free credit for a blog post. This sounds great, of course, but is it good for everyone?

I thought I'd buy some nice image from an other photographer and then I got the idea of buying one of my own. This worked, to my surprise and I also recieved payment. Is this really good, I asked myself. Should I be able to earn money just by writing some scraps of my thoughts here? What if I wrote a hundred blog posts a day (you can imagine the contents of the posts!) just for buying my own images?

I do not believe it is a good idea, then. The thought of writing about nothing just for the money is tempting...

And I should also ask myself if THIS blog post is pointless...

I love the old analog cameras! They are easy too use and the quality is great! There is a good opportunity for making your own photolab at home (when using b/w film).

I have got an old FED35A and my friend has an old genuine Zenit-E. I prefer the Zenit; it has some sort of light meter and I can see where the focus is. My FED has no battery (they do not produce sovjet batteries anymore) so it has no automatic function at all. I can not see the focusing or the ammount of light when I take the picture. I decided to try anyway and bought a b/w film. I will report the results!

PS: Try this instruction for a matchbox pinhole! Great fun!
