Could LED Lights Be Best for Your Needs?
 If you've heard the term 'LED light' but aren't sure what it really means or why you should consider using it in your photography,
let us shed a little light on the situation! LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. This particular kind of light is often used in other arenas, particularly in automotive lighting. Some recent technological
developments have made this lighting source an excellent fit for photographic uses as LED lights can give off as much white light as other standard light sources.
LED lights are able to provide a uniform lighting source because the light is clustered in such a way to provide a streamlined beam of illumination. LEDs are very compact and there are
no concerns of tubes or filaments breaking, which can greatly complicate a photo shoot. They're also extremely energy efficient. Another bonus? Because LED lights don't emit heat, there is little risk of
this form of lighting causing or contributing to a fire. And they can save money because they last significantly longer than conventional lighting sources-up to 100 times as long!
When it comes to your photography, you'll be able to achieve better natural-looking lighting by using a high quality LED light such as some models from our PROMASTER series. These lights
are also the perfect accessory to use for your video projects. Here are a few choices to consider, and we have models which be used on-camera or as part of a studio lighting setup. http://www.wolfes.com/led
Travel Photography Tip:
Even if the forecast shows sunny skies, make sure to include a bit of protection for your digital equipment in case Mother Nature decides to share some rain showers. Before your next trip,
pack a rain jacket or waterproof cover for your camera and double-check to make sure your gear bag can protect your equipment from the elements.
Pick the Perfect Gear Bag
While many of us are guilty of tossing our digital cameras and equipment inside a large tote or backpack, deep down we know that we should be taking better care of our gear. The right
bag provides a number of benefits including proper padding to absorb shock and to protect from bumps and drops, and keeping all your accessories and chargers in one place so they aren't lost before your
next trip. There are so many designs to choose from, and it can get a bit overwhelming at times, so let us help you narrow your focus. Here are a few tips to help you find the right gear bag for your needs:
Consider Your Gear: Take a quick mental inventory of your equipment. Do you use a point-and-shoot camera or do you switch between a point-and-shoot and your DSLR depending on the situation?
How many lenses do you have? Are there accessories that you own that you often forget to bring with you such as filters, flashes or lens cleaner? How often will you need your laptop with you during a shoot
or travel? Do you want to keep everything streamlined-including your laptop-- in one bag or do you have a laptop bag you already use for this purpose? Thinking about all your items as a group will help
you get a better idea of which bags will make the cut.
Include Room to Grow: If you're like many photo enthusiasts, you've got a wish list of accessories and other items you'd like to own one day. While there's no reason to purchase a bag
that far exceeds your current needs, ponder getting a slightly larger size if you are considering additional purchases of equipment this year.
What's Your Style? It's important to consider your preferences when choosing a bag. Some people find that a backpack style is the perfect design when needing to carry a substantial amount
of gear comfortably while others prefer a messenger style designed to lay flat on the hip and that distributes weight off the shoulder. Still others would prefer something that blends into a work environment
and looks more like a traditional briefcase.
How Will You Use Your Bag? Will your camera bag often be considered a carry-on for airline travel or do you need something capable of handling additional items when out hiking or outdoors?
Do you need a smaller model that lets you travel light? Or, is it best to have a rolling hard case to help you navigate train and airport terminals? When it comes to keeping your gear protected and organized,
the right bag can make all the difference. We've got a number of different styles for you to consider ranging from small messengers to full-sized carryalls: http://www.wolfes.com/bags
Shooting Signs:
Whether you've just taken a day trip to a nearby town or have traveled across the ocean for an elaborate summer adventure, make sure to photograph some of the signs that you see along
your journey. Many designs are unique and interesting but these subjects are too often overlooked in our own travel photography. For example, signs displaying a command or concept in multiple languages
can add a fun perspective to your other vacation photos. You may also come across some hilarious warnings such as "Lost" with an arrow pointing left (yes, these do exist!). Pay closer attention to the signs
you pass, and you'll realize just how many are worth a second look.
