			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Try to find a local company for <a href='http://www.ambassadormarquees.co.uk' target='_blank'>marquee hire cambridge</a> as most firms charge delivery by the mile, if you are located in Cambridge for example, then search on Google to find one in your area .A marquee hire should not come about until the planning is complete for exactly what will be called for regarding this sort of structure. The use of this tent resembling building will most likely be for a reception of some sort or an important party. Due to the important nature of the event, considerable care should be taken.A marquee hire will necessarily take some time to arrange. These are used in connection to events of some importance such as a marriage or anything requiring a reception. Their tent like interiors will be a focus of the activity connected to these matters so care is needed for defining what to call for here. </p>
<p>You must begin with the question of how big it is to be. You can get any size you want. You can find them small and intimate or spacious with immense capacity. Anything extra you want to have added in can likely be located. A walkway graced by red carpets and overhead canopies will likely be suggested if you ask a photographer.</p>
<p>These have been described as a type of tent that includes a high middle portion and slopes that slide down to the ends. Sometimes the supports are like those in tents as well namely poles. More often the walls have more structure to them. They can be framed units assembled at a factory and quickly connected together once the materials reach location.</p>
<p>It is common in these to take out a section here and there of the walls. This brings in both light and air. People also enjoy the open feel that comes with it so much so that adding heaters is done in preference to putting the walls back where they were.</p>
<p>These can use different methods to give them support. There are kinds that perform as sun shades that have no need for anything beyond a few flimsy poles. Others may have to serve as shelter from rain and other elements. These can be as fortified as permanent structures.</p>
<p> A <a href='http://www.ambassadormarquees.co.uk' target='_blank'>marquee hire cambridge</a> company should get your process working. It can be hard deciding all that is needed in connection with this. Time is required for the planning and the actual assemblage of the Marquee, if you get stuck contact Ambassador Marquees, the marquee hire specialists, for free impartial advice. <a href='http://www.ambassadormarquees.co.uk' target='_blank'>marquee hire cambridge</a> is not all Ambassador Marquees offer, they also deliver nationwide, and their prices are so good that you may save money regardless of where you live.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When taking important shots at any event, it is always good to follow some general rules of thumb. First you need to hire a professional photographer to take the shots of your event. For example, if you live in East Sussex and your event is a christening then search for a <a href='http://www.wedding-photographer.nlcphotography.co.uk' target='_blank'>christening photographer in East Sussex</a> or for an anniversary then search for <a href='http://www.wedding-photographer.nlcphotography.co.uk' target='_blank'>anniversary photographer in East Sussex.</a></p>
<p>You should try not to take too long with a shot. People get bored and restless and can ruin a potentially good photograph. People are not likely to stop and just pose for you any time you want at the time of event, so always try to take natural and meaningful shots which look really good later on.</p>
<p>The worst thing that can happen is that your digital camera suddenly stops working because you forgot to bring some spare batteries with you. Always carry spare fully charged batteries. The same applies to memory cards because if you fill your card with photos half way through the event then you are going to look a little silly when you cannot take any more. So take extra memory with you on all occasions at every event.</p>
<p>If your camera is more than 5 megapixel resolution then you will need a larger storage capacity card to hold the photos because the files take up more room. A good size card to use and carry as a spare is 4gb. It may sound like a lot but you do not want to run out of space.</p>
<p>Always keep your digital camera at maximum resolution. This is because the colors will be better, truer and richer so when you are developing them later you won’t have problems enlarging the photographs. Naturally, you need to reclaim the space on your card after the event, so copy all the images to your computer hard drive and save them in a folder named the same as the event, so that you can print them out at your convenience on special photographic paper.</p>
<p>When brides and grooms make their plans for the big day, they normally take certain things into account. They coordinate the date according to vacation times from work. Or they coordinate the wedding day for the family to be able to make it into town.  Or they plan it based upon maybe available venues, like the church or the restaurant.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, one of the things they sometimes fail to plan for is the photographer. Imagine, turning up on the biggest day of your life to find Uncle Albert taking photographs on his old camera with absolutely no equipment at all apart from that old polaroid camera, so you might be lucky to get a couple of decent shots without wedding cake smeared all over them.</p>
<p>Another service that comes in very useful is the ability to restore old photographs back to their original majesty. They get faded and cracked with time and need the special care and attention that only a professional can give. If you want to restore old photographs then you need to search for <a href='http://www.wedding-photographer.nlcphotography.co.uk' target='_blank'>photograph restoration in East Sussex.</a> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wedding photography is always a major issue when you are trying to avoid any problems on the big day itself. You will most likely want to hire a professional <a href='http://www.wedding-photographer.nlcphotography.co.uk' target='_blank'>wedding photographer in East Sussex</a> to cover all the tasks, especially if you live in east Sussex!. There a few ideas that you may find useful when planning the photography for a wedding.</p>
<p>1: Make a list of shots you want. Consider what you would like to have on film for that occasion. The happy couple will normally want family photos and personal shots. All the guests will want to be in the photos at some stage, so professional a wedding photographer will be able to satisfy the couple’s needs better.</p>
<p>2: The hardest shots to take are the family photos as they can be quite stressful. Group wedding shots are usually more easily organised if you ask a family member to be the family photo coordinator. People will not get fed up and wander off back to the drinks if you are well organised.</p>
<p>3: The locations for wedding photography vary a great deal but the photographer must be familiar with them. Try taking a few photos before the big day to test the scene. It is better to be well prepared.</p>
<p>4: The weather can play a big part in the way the big day goes. Always have a backup plan in case it rains for the wedding photography. The photographer should always carry sufficient film of memory to take however many shots are required and enough batteries to finish the job.</p>
<p>5: Another issue is the style of the photography. The number of shots, the objectives they have in mind, the details that the couple want covered should be clearly analyzed and established. A good service will make use of two cameras at least, so that shooting can be performed at wide or short angles depending on the needs.</p>
<p>6: Hire more than just one professional photographer, for example, those who are in business as a <a href='http://www.wedding-photographer.nlcphotography.co.uk' target='_blank'>special events photographer in east sussex</a>, if you are planning a really big event in that region.</p>
<p>For anyone planning a wedding, the knowledge that the events of the day will be captured in images is priceless. Digital photography has changed how a <a href='http://www.wedding-photographer.nlcphotography.co.uk' target='_blank'>wedding photographer</a>  can carry out their work ensuring the day is captured on disk. Most wedding photographers will offer to make a special DVD of the photos as a presentation.</p>
<p>You need to understand all the technical aspects of what makes a good shot, the way the light is falling, the time of day, the position of the sun etc etc.</p>
<p>Remember that people with spectacles need to be dealt specially while taking pictures. You should probably request that they either remove their spectacles or to turn their head so that there is no reflection. Know when to use the zoom function and when to use a wide angle lens and you will have a great occasion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many stunning and exclusive Christmas Party venues throughout London that very few people know about. From underground experiences to the most glamorous event spaces in the whole of the UK. Here is a low down about what is hot this winter.<br />
         Ice-bar London and the Belowzero restaurant/lounge, located in the vibrant Heddon Street in the former wine vaults for the British monarchy, makes for one hell of an experience. This stunning venue is home to the only permanent bar made out of ice in the whole of the UK. The -5 degree experience of the Ice-Bar is truly unforgettable but if it’s enough to give you a slight chill, the contrasting comfort of the Belowzero restaurant/lounge is the perfect place to warm up.<br />
         The Roof Gardens is an exclusive venue along Kensington High Street. When surrounded by beautiful gardens (there are three themed gardens &#8211; Spanish, Woodland and Tudor) in the centre of London, drinking cocktails and admiring the elegant pink flamingos that roam around in the gardens&#8217; small ponds, it is impossible not to be blissfully happy.  There is also a drinks bar with live music playing on the roof terrace. The club house boasts a huge dance floor, elegant interiors and a grand piano. In addition there is a restaurant, Babylon, which offers glorious views over London. It really is a truly spectacular venue.<br />
          50 St James’ Street London is the location of Fifty; one of London’s most exclusive private members clubs &amp; casinos. It offers the world famous Salvatore at Fifty cocktail bar, award winning restaurants, glamorous nightclub 50 Below and a stunning gaming floor. Fifty is all about worldly good taste and sophistication in an environment of contemporary, luxurious style.</p>
<p>There are also a host of semi permanent venues that are set up solely to cater for Christmas events. For example the Honourable Artillery Company Gardens in Islington puts up an impressive semi permanent structure every year which makes for a stylish and unique venue in a very prestigious location.<br />
         Another impressive semi permanent structure is located in the gardens of the Royal Hospital Chelsea. The Venue seats over 1000 and has hosted some exquisite events over the past few years. Both of these venues are run by London events giant; the ‘Concerto Group’.<br />
        These venues each year hire in thousands of pounds worth of equipment including the structures themselves, furniture, <a href='http://www.classiceventhire.co.uk' target='_blank'>table and chair hire surrey</a>, <a href='http://www.classiceventhire.co.uk' target='_blank'>crockery hire surrey</a> and glassware. So much effort is put into these event spaces and the result is truly spectacular.</p>
<p>If you’re looking to indulge yourself, your family, friends or employees this winter; look around because there are some amazing venues out there which would make for a truly unforgettable experience.</p>
<p>Go on, treat yourself…</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Photography for any wedding is on top list of concerns when making arrangements for the important day. Hiring a pro who runs a <a href='http://www.fuelforphotography.com/' target='_blank'>home photography business</a> to cover all of  the jobs is the best concept you may have. In this article, you&#8217;ll be ready to get some ideas that you will find quite convenient for wedding photography. </p>
<p>As you <a href='http://www.fuelforphotography.com/30-great-ideas-for-selling-stock-photos/' target='_blank'>start your photography business</a>, note down the express moments that you want to get snapped on that day. Family and couple pictures are predominant in most situations. Everyone wants to have a photograph with the bride and the groom, and the photography services have to cover all of the details and meet all expectations. </p>
<p>The family shooting part might be quite stressed in any photography home based business. It&#8217;s good if you have a family photograph coordinator to help with the group photography. Everyone can go back to the celebration if you round up the family and move from photo to photograph. This sort of photography will take you to different locations, and the photographer, as well as the couple, have to have an idea about some of the positions for the shots. Run a test or two before the day and take some photos on the location. </p>
<p>Weather can raise challenges and difficulties for the photography too and is the reason a backup plan is mandatory in any photography business. The snapper has to bring enough blank memory cards, batteries for the camera (just in case if one gets drained out and will call for a need to be replaced) and get the itinerary for that day. When it comes to meeting the clients&#8217; needs , pro photography business desires planning. </p>
<p>As one of the best and helpful tips and strategies on <a href='http://www.fuelforphotography.com/' target='_blank'>how to start up your photography business</a> the right way, consider the style of the photography itself. Cover want recorded, the number of shots, their objectives and also the cost. A professional service will use at least two cameras, so the shooting can be performed at either wide or short angles, dependent on what is needed. </p>
<p>For bigger events that need highly complicated photography, more photographers ( as an example, people who run their own photography business plan and the like ) would need to work in cooperation to rise up to the expectations. A key thing on how to start a photography business and successfully is preparation. Remember that in any photography business plan, preparation is always quite crucial, and results, as you will be able to see, can be actually extraordinary if you know the way to cover everything. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are considering becoming an Event Photographer this guide may be useful. I spent a long time researching all the kit needed to be a successfu Event photographer, testing and costing carefully. It&#8217;s all current gear available now so it&#8217;s up to date unlike some of the guides I read. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been on training courses and I&#8217;ve done quite a few different Events now, so this is to help others avoid some of the common mistakes. This guide to Event photography is based on my personal experience and you are welcome to reproduce it as long as you credit <a href='http://www.fullframeevents.co.uk' target='_blank'>event photographer</a> http://www.fullframeevents.co.uk or add a link to this page. </p>
<p>
It is divided into sections as follows:</p>
<p>1, Camera Equipment needed for Event Photographers;<br />
2. Lighting equipment for Event Photography;<br />
3. Printers for Instant Event Photos;<br />
4. Mitsubishi Click system for Event Photography;<br />
5. Green Screen Event Photography;<br />
6. Starting an Event Photography Business.</p>
<p>1. Camera Equipment for Event Photographers.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t NEED the latest high-end professional DSLR with pro glass lenses to shoot an event! It&#8217;s nice to have good kit but that should be a given for any Pro Photographer. In reality the customer at a football tournament, school prom or black tie event doesn&#8217;t care what kit you have as long as the results are good, and you don&#8217;t want to be carrying a heavy camera with fragile glass in an environment that is often boisterous and busy ! </p>
<p>You don&#8217;t need to shoot huge resolution RAW files and won&#8217;t have time  to post process or mess about with hundreds of settings.You are aiming to get a sharp, vibrant and well lit photograph of enough resolution to print at  your final output size. Conecentrate on making the people look great! </p>
<p>I do recommend a wireless workflow which I cover later, and again you need the files to be small enough to send quickly. I use a Nikon D700 but that&#8217;s only because I have one for Property photography as I need the full frame and low light capablilities <br />
(see www.fullfamefotos.com for examples). </p>
<p>I shoot jpg at just medium resolution for most events, and use a Sigma 24-70mm HSM lens so I can quickly zoom between individuals and groups. A Nikon D40 with a kit lens will do just as well. and I always carry one as a backup. It also takes my Nikon flashguns and is much lighter than a D700. </p>
<p>It is important to have a backup camera, I&#8217;ve even made do with a Nikon Coolpix P6000 when my D700 was being used pitch side at a Cricket Event. With proper lighting (see lighting section) I got almost identical results shooting people in front of a green screen. You must have at least one fully charged spare battery for each camera at an event, a couple of spare and preformatted memory cards, and spare batteries for your flashguns. I use the new Duracell rechargeables for the flashguns as they stay charged in the bag.</p>
<p>So don&#8217;t go mad on the camera kit, it will get bashed around at an event!  As for settings, indoors I shoot at around f7.1 to f8 for groups so I get good depth of field, I use shutter speeds of around 125 to get sharp shots as I don&#8217;t like a tripod, too restrictive, and I use ISO 400 to get enough sensitivity. White balance is easy on a Nikon, see lighting but the flash setting will do. For individuals and couples I open up to around f5 and shoot full length, head and shoulders and a close-up.  Outdoors events are more dependent on the available light and the lens.</p>
<p>One tip, using a wireless transmitter to send the images straight to your PC, Mac or Click system avoids the pitfall of people (the ladies mainly) wanting to see each shot on the back of the camera as you take it! That gets them through quicker and lets your  team at the workstation show the images properly at full size. I do actually keep the images stored in the camera as a backup though in case the wireless system stops working.</p>
<p>Another tip, if you are shooting groups at a School Prom or Corporate event, take a stepladder! If you get above them and shoot down it changes the angles and stops the people at the front looking much larger than those at the back! This lets you squeeze bigger groups in as well, especially useful if you are shooting in front of a green screen at an event. </p>
<p>Also, if you ever get a large group of girls at a School Prom or Sweet Sixteen event, take LOTS of shots! It is very hard to get a single photo where every girl is happy with how she looks, guys really are not as fussy. The girls will buy the photo that they look best in.  </p>
<p>We tend to charge the standard rate £10 per shoot including a 6&#215;9 mounted photograph, but do offer incentives for groups such as discounting copies of the same photograph, or offering 3 for the price of 2 if they are different shots that need processing. </p>
<p>2. Lighting Equipment for Event Photography</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t use studio lighting for indoor events! Initially I used the standard large softbox above the camera and shot in front of a grey, back or white backdrop. But that&#8217;s boring and old hat nowadays, the lighting is very flat and there is always the risk of people tripping over cables and the hassle of finding a nearby power socket. </p>
<p>At School proms, Bar-Mitzvahs and especially Sweet Sixteen parties it gets very busy and although we carry full insurance I don&#8217;t want a heavy studio light falling on a guest. It&#8217;s the same at Corporate events and Black Tie dinners, there&#8217;s usually a huge rush after dinner for photos and even a taped down light can get pulled over by  an inebriated partygoer!</p>
<p>So now I use a Nikon SB-900 on the camera with the wide-angle flap down and the soft diffuser fitted. This controls two other Nikon SB-600&#8242;s also with the wide-angle flaps down using Nikon&#8217;s excellent CLS lighting system. The two SB-600&#8242;s are mounted on sturdy but portable stands and shoot through white umbrellas for lovely soft lighting. You can do the same with Canon Speedlights, or a radio trigger and some Vivitar or similar flashguns.</p>
<p>At an Event you don&#8217;t want to be messing around changing lighting when you have queues, but this setup is flexible and light enough to be safe to move quickly if you need to. The Nikon system lets me control the brightness of each flash directly from the camera without having to touch the lights. </p>
<p>As we use Green Screen backdrops at most events to add effects and digital backgrounds, I have to ensure the backdrop is evenly lit  to avoid problems when chromakeying out the green. By mounting the umbrellas high up at either side and shooting through them, the green (or blue) backdrop gets evenly lit where it matters. The guests get a nice flattering lighting setup which I can easily adjust for large groups or closeups. I</p>
<p>I shoot on full manual with the on camera flash at about 1/32 power to give a little fill light, (I also use the wideangle flap and the soft diffuser!) but mainly to trigger the two mounted lights. These are usually on about 1/8th power which is plenty! Recyling is very fast and I&#8217;ve never had to change batteries yet at an event, although I have charged spares on hand. </p>
<p>If I get a large group like a football or cricket team at a sporting event  I can quickly move the two sidelights back and up the power.If it quietens down and we get a guest who wants some special shots, the lights can be moved so one acts as a keylight and one as a fill for classic Rembrandt  lighting. We have professional makeover software running on the workstations so can enhance pictures quickly if someone wants portfolio shots. </p>
<p>The SB-900 on the camera can also be removed  and used as a slave for hair lighting or other effects, triggered by the on canera flash. So we can do a three light setup easily!  White balance is crucial, on Nikon cameras just stand where the subjects will be, set the white balance to &#8220;pre&#8221; then hold down the wb button for three seconds. When the display flashes, point the camera back between the lights and shoot. If it says &#8220;good&#8221; in the display, you are set to go. If not, try shooting again straight at one of the sb600, it will work! </p>
<p>The real beauty of this system is that it all fits in one calumet rolling case and is easily portable! It is very flexible for other types of photography. These flashguns are just as powerful as studio lights, and we even carry Fong diffusers and softboxes just in case we get a chance to do some glamour photography. (and yes, you can book us for private shoots!)</p>
<p>3. Printers for Instant Event Photos.</p>
<p>I used to to run a large independent company selling calibrated colour printers, scanners and displays into the corporate design market and previously worked with Canon, Xerox, Mitsubishi and Tektronix as a colour consultant. So choosing the best Event printers was an interesting exercise!</p>
<p>Inkjets and colour lasers were instantly dismissed as I needed portability, reliability and photographic quality. Plus I needed to know exactly what each print would cost. An inkjet will produce the quality with a bit of tweaking but will never match the quality, speed or durability of a dedicated dye-sublimation printer.  </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t believe in compatible inks as I&#8217;ve seen first hand the amount of R&amp;D that goes into a manufacturers own ink. So ink-jet prints are going to be too expensive for event printing. Lasers are fast but lacking in colour quality, and extremely tricky to transport. After testing all the current offerings I decided on the Mitsubishi 9550 DW linked to the Mitsubishi Click system as our basic workhorse for producing large 9 x 6 inch photographs. </p>
<p>As I use a full frame camera this is exactly the size the camera shoots at, so no cropping needed! The photographs are fast and very accurate thanks to the dedicated colour profiling we use supplied by Systems Insight and fine-tuned by me! </p>
<p>The dye-sub process basically involves heating the ink on a ribbon until it turns into a gas and sublimates into the special paper. This is a true continuous tone process so the colour gamut is much wider than other processes, giving smooth and accurate skin tones with no dot patterns. </p>
<p>You can actually roll a photograph up and stand it in a pint of coke, leave it for hours and then wipe dry without any signs of running or fading, as demonstrated on the training course by Stuart! These photographs really won&#8217;t fade and are fingerprint proof  thanks to the special coating. They will last longer than any other photograph!</p>
<p>The fixed cost per photograph allows us to offer discounted pricing for pre-paid events like weddings or school proms as we know exactly what our costs will be per photo regardless of how much of each colour is used.</p>
<p>But we also offer a unique digital make-over service for events using a very special PC with professional retouching software so needed a printer we could connect directly.  And we wanted to be able to offer instant 12&#8243; x 10&#8243; photos and other large sizes for Sporting Events like football and cricket events where team shots are popular. </p>
<p>So we decided on the larger format Mitsubishi  as well as we have now found out it also works on the Click! Consumables for the Mitsubishi Event printers are readily available and therefore discounted prices help bring the costs down. Some of the more obscure brands like Shinko and Olmec are often tricky to source. </p>
<p>We are happy with the speed, quality and reliability of our printers, but more importantly, our customers love the results.</p>
<p>4. Mitsubishi Click System for Event Photographers.</p>
<p>My background is in colour  technology as mentioned, but prior to that I was a DEC system manager, I have a HND in Computer Science and am a qualified programmer. Yes, I&#8217;m old enough to have done all that and spent 7 years in the Army controlling Artlillery fire by computers and by slide rules and log books when those systems were taken out. </p>
<p>So i&#8217;m probably more of a technical geek than most photographers. So why did I choose a dedicated turnkey solution for producing event photographs rather than use my expertise in PC and Mac solutions?</p>
<p>Laziness really, why re-invent the wheel! I quickly realised that to make any money at all in Event Photography you have to produce very good photographs to a very high standard very quickly! Workflow is very important. Initially I was either going to use a big 27&#8243; Mac with a studio display for quality to handle all the incoming pictures, or go down the Windows 7 route with a couple of  fast Sony Vaio AW notebooks with their gorgeous Adobe RGB 18&#8243; monitors, with either system linked to a dye-sub or two.</p>
<p>But once I started looking at the workflow and software required I realised the Mitsubishi Click would cover all the bases. Yes, I could run either system quickly and use dedicated green screen software and professional retouching software to produce stunning results. But then who would take the photos? I needed a system that was streamlined and simple to use so I could train others to use it. </p>
<p>My first event was a corporate Xmas dinner and the only person available to do the green screen effects, printing, mounting and sales was my wife! The Click system is very straightforward, you set up a new event and pictures are sent wirelessly from the photographer. Selecting them by just touching the screem allows for full screen previews, once the customers have decided which photographs they want it is quite easy to drop in a green screen background and print, all by touch! </p>
<p>Camera cards and CD&#8217;s can be easily read or burnt, multiple printers are supported and the whole system runs smoothly and look very professional.  We&#8217;ve even had customers connect their own cameras or mobile phones by bluetooth and print their own photos! My wife managed well on our first event, and we had over thirty satisfied customers that evening, in a very short period of about 2 hours from when the meal ended to going home. </p>
<p>Many purchased multiple photos, with different backdrops and effects, but she handled it all while I took the shots. Now we have more trained assistants as it did wear her out a bit <img src='http://smiami.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  But I still wanted the flexibility and power to use more specialised green screen software to drop in overlays and fine tune some of the more tricky effects. </p>
<p>So with a bit of help from the techies at System Insight I worked out how to access the system directly, and underneath the smooth software front end is a powerful windows PC. So now if we get a really special request (like &#8220;put me in the Oval Office with President Obama&#8221;)  I can jump in and alt tab to Photokey or Portrait pro running in the background! And yes, you can print directy to the dedicated 9550DW by dropping jobs straight into the queue, email for details:) </p>
<p>You can also boost the processor speed, add more RAM, put in a HDMI graphics card to support external displays, even change out the motherboard if you are brave enough and don&#8217;t mind voiding your warranty!</p>
<p>I&#8217;d recommend this system to anyone starting out, and would also recommend you buy it from Stuart or Darren at Systems Insight as they know the system well! </p>
<p>5)  Green Screen Event Photography</p>
<p>To be successful in Event Photography as in any business you need a key differentiator, something to make you unique. We all provide basically the same service, photographing people having a good time and offering prints or downloads. Some specialise in niche markets like weddings or school photographs, or certain types of events like Equestrian or Motorcycling. I chose Green Screen Event Photography for a variety of reasons. </p>
<p>I like the portability of our lighting system and didn&#8217;t want to spoil that by having to carry around various huge coloured backdrops for different occasions. I find it boring having dozens of people shot the same way, and I&#8217;m sure most people who go to events are getting fed up of the same bluey grey backdrop, or the &#8220;ultra modern&#8221; white or black high or low key shoot. </p>
<p>I want to have fun at an event and want the guests to experience something new. So we shoot everyone in front of a blue or more usually a green screen and then our special software can replace that colour with any of our 2500 digital backgrounds! This gives us the flexibility to add classy studio backdrops  to Black  Tie and Corporate Events, and lets us choose appropraite colours to enhance what the guests are wearing. </p>
<p>For School proms and Sweet Sixteens we can get the guests flying through space, on stage with their favourite rock bands or in the latest movies. Bar and Bat-Mitzvahs are great fun as we can transport the guests anywhere in the world, and for all events we offer free personalised overlays and designs so the event is memorable and unique.</p>
<p>The secret to Chromakey Event Photography is keeping the workflow fast! If you offer a guest 2500 choices, expect a huge queue or a lot of disapointed people. We tend to design 10 choices for each event and will print an example of each so they can decide before we shoot. That way if they are going to be posing alongside a Twilight Vampire or on the dance floor with John Travolta, they can strike an appropriate pose! It does slow things down having to add backdrops but we prefer the interaction and the guests enjoy the experience. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s not all about getting them shot and printed to us, some event companies work like a slaughterhouse concentrating on quantity rather than quality, that&#8217;s what the auto cameras at theme parks are for, we would rather spend a little time earning our money!</p>
<p>We prefer green screens to blue screens as less people wear the actual shade of green we use. Blue clothing, eyes and jewellery are more common and can cause probems unless you know how to mask out those areas. We use very special green screen material now, direct from the film studios. This is a special white backed material that absorbs light and glows evenly. Ordinary green muslin will reflect light and cause problems especially with very blonde hair. Contact me for details, it&#8217;s twice the price but worth it! </p>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry about evenly lighting the backdrop as many claim, that will just cause more spill and you need more lights power and cabling! You can&#8217;t get your guests the recommended 10-12 feet away at an event, which you need to if you light the backdrop! Imagine if you were shooting a group and they all had to be 12 feet in front of the cloth!, how big would it need to be! Using pro software lets you quickly adjust for spill and reflected green light. </p>
<p>The trick is to light the people not the backdrop, that should only appear in the gaps anyway and if you have a light enough green it will work.  Less is more, light from the sides and above so any shadows are still green and they will disappear.We use overlays and backgrounds to get realistic Magazine covers and special effects . </p>
<p>People don&#8217;t notice that usually the models on magazines go in front of the title heading but behind the informative text! And watch out for copyrights, design your own magazine covers that are similar but not identical, you can buy these from the USA as overlays. .PNG files are best but won&#8217;t work on the Click, you need to do what we do and switch. </p>
<p>The President Obama shot is a good example, He is in the background, the guests are dropped in on top, then the desk is added as an overlay in front.</p>
<p>6. Starting an Event Photography Business.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t believe some of the salesmen out there who claim it&#8217;s a licence to print money! That is their job and they do it well, but like any business you need to really work at it. Most pro photographers woudn&#8217;t dream of doing a photoshoot AND supplying a framed large photograph for a tenner! And don&#8217;t think just because you get a booking at a black tie event for example with 100 people that you are going to sell 100 photos ! </p>
<p>30% of those people won&#8217;t even want a photo taken! That&#8217;s just the way it is. There won&#8217;t be many single people wanting a photo on their own, and there&#8217;s always a large group who want just one shot of all of them, but will buy additional copies at a discounted rate. That leaves the couples, so that brings you down to around five singles, a large group and twenty couples. </p>
<p>You will earn about £300 at an event of this size. Ok, that&#8217;s a small event but just about possible for two people to cover so that&#8217;s only one assistant to pay. Then there is the cost of the prints, mounts and bags, travelling costs, insurance costs not to mention an hour to setup and an hour to pack down plus sometimes many hours of waiting for a dinner speech to end. </p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget the website you need, the adverts to get bookings, the expense of all the gear, marketing your website, the admin and post production work to get the images online. The usual business costs of stationery, phone bills, promotional gear and all the insurance. </p>
<p>Also remember there are a lot of excellent  photographers out there, and anyone can buy a good camera, lens, and a fast printer and go out and do this. The big companies will already have the big events sewn up, So you need to use your contacts, ask around, advertise and promote. Offer to do some small events free for the practice, but still charge the going rate. Even if you only sell 10 shoots in a night, the experience is invaluable before you tackle a busy event.</p>
<p>Once you get a booking, splash out on some pop up banners showing what you do, flyers and business cards. When you get there and setup, take a few test shots of the bar staff, waitresses and event organisers to test everything. Frame these up and give them out as gifts, asking them to show the guests! Great advertising! Get the DJ to tell guests where you are and what you are doing. Work the tables if it&#8217;s quiet. Above all enjoy it and be polite and professional as you are representing us all! </p>
<p>That&#8217;s enough secrets revealed for now, if anyone wants to ask any questions feel free.  This is just my opinions and experience so far, I&#8217;ll add more as I get time. If you find this at all useful, please tell others, I&#8217;m not charging to write all this, nor am I selling anything, but links to my site <a href='http://www.fullframeevents.co.uk' target='_blank'>party photographer</a> www.fullframeevents.co.uk will really be appreciated, or a mention in any blogs etc. </p>
<p>I only work locally 30 miles around my location in Hemel Hempstead and share events with other event photographers if I can&#8217;t get there, it&#8217;s top far away or I need more photographers, so the link won&#8217;t hurt your business! Cheers, Paul Harrison</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love the <a href='http://www.bestnikondigitalcamera.com' target='_blank'>best Nikon digital camera</a> camera.  It&#8217;s one I can take everywhere, to document those special moments in my life.  I whip it out to capture my friends&#8217; faces when we&#8217;re together, family celebrations and .</p>
<p>I still recall receiving my first camera.  It was a gift from &#8220;Santa&#8221; for Christmas when I was 10.  Oh the invigorating pleasure of being able to commemorate images on film!  As a kid who moved lots, it was cool to be able to capture my memories to take with me always.  Understand, my dad was a career military man so naturally home was wherever we were all together.</p>
<p>As my father&#8217;s job moved us across the country  and overseas I snapped photos of everything and everyone.  I have photographs of my family visiting all kinds of tourist spots, on the Atlantic, Pacific and everywhere in between.  In Europe my camera came with me everywhere my passport took me, documenting my travels.</p>
<p>On my dad&#8217;s side I come from a huge Irish family.  My dad&#8217;s first cousins alone numbered almost 100.  And I have pictures &#8212; of my grandmother, aunts and uncles, of first cousins, second cousins and once-removed, and of all the birthdays, holidays and other events that families celebrate together.  Because of my camera I carry my extended family with me wherever I go.</p>
<p>Then along came digital photography and it seemed the sky was the limit.  I loved how effortless it became to give photos &#8212; without a trip to the post office.  With all my contacts on email I was now able launch photos instantaneously anyplace in the world.  And adjustments no longer had to be completed in the darkroom!  It was awesome to have so many &#8220;special effects&#8221; available from my laptop!</p>
<p>Life is different; I&#8217;m no longer a teenager, travelling with my parents, now I&#8217;m the parent.  The memories I capture are changed, but I&#8217;ve always got my camera with me.  Now my camera records my growing family, the friends they make, and the trips I plan as a parent.  The milestones I photograph now for a whole new set of relatives.  </p>
<p>As far as family goes, our description is changed from what I grew up with; we didn&#8217;t live near many blood relations but we somehow find friends that grow to be family.  My camera helps me to hang on to these memories for not just myself, but my family, and all the people that I can share my pictures with.</p>
<p>A colleague  of mine who is looking to get serious about picture-taking recently asked for my thoughts.  Well, after all the pictures I&#8217;ve taken and the cameras I&#8217;ve owned, <a href='http://www.bestnikondigitalcamera.com' target='_blank'>this camera</a> is my top choice.  When I reflect on the memories it captures &#8212; my loved ones, my history, my future &#8212; that&#8217;s a great deal to live up to.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thus you&#8217;ve got a happening coming back up, and your budget is additional than a little depleted. At now it might be tempting to cut your losses and just cancel the event instead of notice a method to market it. Don&#8217;t offer up however; event promotion on a budget is not only possible, but it can be done with great success and ease. For a lot of information take a look at our <a href='http://www.nametags.org/index.php/2007/12/19/corporate-meetings-and-event-planning-checklists/' target='_blank'>event checklist</a>.</p>
<p>There are many ways to make a permanent impression to your event while not creating an enduring dent in your budget. Printed vinyl banners, for one, are a reasonable means to pull the eye your way. Not only are they affordable and effective, however banners also are reusable for years to come. A banner displayed in a prime-time location can be seen by 1000s of eyes for the many days the banner is up.</p>
<p>Say you do not have access to a major-time location; this may be a nice likelihood to partner up with a sponsor or two. You add their name to the banner, and they put the banner up where it will be seen the seven times necessary to be important. Having your sponsors pay is one in all the best ways that to induce around your event advertising prices, particularly when you&#8217;re on a decent budget.</p>
<p>Banners aren&#8217;t the only way to induce your word out at a coffee cost. promo products are an straightforward factor to search out on-line and to fit into your budget.</p>
<p>Again with the assistance of sponsors, distribute promotional items like lanyards, pens/pencils, or magnets printed with details of the event. These are particularly effective if you hand out one thing useful that the recipients can want to hold on to.</p>
<p>Namifiers not solely offers a good selection of promoting materials, but they will also ship several of their things like banners and stock lanyards the identical day you order.</p>
<p>Getting a sponsor will be less complicated than ordering promotional products and as low cost as free for your sponsor. Businesses are now jumping into Facebook, Twitter, and the blogosphere for yet another advertising outlet. Realize a &#8220;sponsor&#8221; who can talk concerning your event on their net pages for an simple and primarily free technique of event marketing.</p>
<p>Whether you&#8217;re selling for an occasion, or at the event, line up sponsors to pay for the promotional items and other selling costs. They&#8217;ll get their name out, and you will profit on the rest. <a href='http://www.namifiers.com/' target='_blank'>event advertising</a> does not should blow your budget if you make the effort to collaborate with sponsors and utilize items like banners and <a href='http://www.namifiers.com/products/Category.aspx?categID=awards' target='_blank'>promo products</a>. For more info take a look at our event planning checklist.<br />
