Lensbaby Composer Pro And Sweet 35

That versatile lens was the first Lensbaby with a ball-and-socket configuration, which allows you to simply tilt the lens to the desired angle and focus with the outside focus ring.

New Form 1099 Requirement Overturned By Congress

Photographers and small business owners everywhere can rest easier knowing that this burdensome tax reporting will not take effect at the end of the year, says David Trust, PPA chief executive officer.

Portrait Lighting
Creativity and usability are incredibly important in lighting, especially when you shoot a variety of subjects in a limited area, such as my living room home studio. Family portrait lighting is hard to set up in a small space, so I use a range of lights and umbrellas, all of which easily collapse and fold for between-session storage. For this image, I used a multi-color background with hues of blue, deep yellow and black. In the foreground, the blue clothing and sofa pop, aided by the contrast...

Use caution when assembling and disassembling the light fixtures the florescent lights are fragile and need careful handling, and they cost 45 apiece. Considering the time it takes to assemble the lights and soft box fixtures, I'd say the kit is unsuitable for location shoots. If you do plan to take the kit on location, the cap...
