Guess who was number one on OnlineClasses.org list of "100 Best Blogs for Photography Students"?
Nope, wasn't Weekly Photo Tips.... but we were number twenty five!
Thank you to Online Classes for listing us, and thanks to our readers for making Weekly Photo Tips what it is.
The only problem, if my mother reads this post I will be getting a cuff in the back of the head for "tooting my own horn".

Our R-Strap YouTube Video...
A couple weeks back we reviewed the R-Strap from BlackRapid and have produced a YouTube video addressing a concern we read on the forums that (just) a few people had about connecting a camera strap to the tripod mount of their camera.
This video addresses that concern.
If you are a subscriber to Weekly Photo Tips the video does not get "pushed" through to you, so you will need to come back to the blog, or check us out on YouTube to watch the video.

Maternity Portraiture...
Here are a few shots from a session this past weekend.
The two images above were taken with window light only, and not bright/direct sunlight, but a northwest facing window.
Below are three shots taken with a (my) standard three light setup (SB-800's fired by Pocket Wizards).
Click on any image to view larger and in a new window.

A great shooting opportunity this weekend...
If you live here in the northeast you may want to consider spending this coming Saturday (October 17th) in Keene New Hampshire.
Saturday is the annual Keene Pumpkin Festival, where they have been setting world records since 1992 for the most carved pumpkins lit at one time.
Bring a pumpkin, bring your camera, but most importantly, bring your inner child.

Healthcare in America...
Another weekend, another off topic blog entry.
But my fear is I am about to commit blogging suicide by touching the "third rail" of politics, but the importance is bigger, much bigger than me.
If I could ask one thing of my readers, it would be to take the five minutes and watch this video.
Should you be moved by it, share it with your friends, if not email me and tell me I suck.
Thank you.
The entire show "Profits Before Patients" is about 45 minutes long and can be viewed by following this link, because bottom line, whatever comes out of Washington under the guise of "reform" will impact every single one of us.

Stand by me… part II...
I had no intention of posting this weekend, holiday weekend, scheduled shoots, blah, blah, blah...
Made my coffee, sat down at 5:30am to check email, but just one came through (which kinda surprised me, I usually get more, not because I'm popular but the spammers do love me).
I won't betray their confidence with the details, but it was a thank you note, explaining that a post I had made six months ago had helped them through a extremely difficult time.
Driving home the point that we never know when something we do, even something quite simple, impacts the life of another.
The follow is the (short) original post:
“no matter who you are, no matter where you go in your life, at some point you’re gonna need somebody to stand by you…”
(if the video does not come through on the feed, you'll want to stop by the blog to watch it)
