30 Night Time Photography Inspirations for Beginners

As a Photography newbie I find it really challenging to take photos at night, my first issue is focus. Getting a clean shot is really hard, capturing that right amount of focus on a subject when it gets dark, especially if your trying to shoot using natural light.

Freelance

I've decided to get my feet wet in the freelancing business sometime ago and now I'm seriously considering making a career of it. But with the economy as it is it wouldn't be wise to leave my day job just yet, still I need to get the gears rolling and start taking action.

Segue...
"Now I am the voice" I got that one from Anthony Robbins, the last event I attended from my previous employer.

First thing I needed to do is get the word out that I'm for hire.

Easier said than done... A good way to do this is send out an email blast to all the people in your address box and hope they also get the word out for you.

Second thing, I need to have my own galaxy in the vast space of the world wide web and so pRODigalconcepts.com was born, I was planning on making my own theme from a basic wordpress wireframe like the sandbox but I fell in love with the Mystique theme by digitalnature, that I stumbled upon while browsing for some design ideas and inspirations, and it's one awesome and powerful theme I have ever seen. And my other excuse is that my current schedule keeps me from breaking ground on my own design plus I believe that everything happens for a reason and stumbling on this theme is one.

So I was thinking and many experts have mentioned for people to take you seriously you need to show them what you can do, imagine posting ads online that you're for hire and the only thing you can show for it is an email address from a public email server. Even writers, or photographers have put up websites for prospective clients to look at and a place to showcase their skills and experiences.

I have a whole list to go through, but at the moment I'm stuck here because I'm having some serious connection problems and until my calendar clears up I'm going to settle in making this post a series and wait for good things to happen.

Digital Camera Photographer of the Year 2008 - vote for xzykho

I found this photo contest through "The Master Rapper" FrancisM's multiply site A Free Mind (one of the links in my celebrity blogs found at the right hand side navigation menu) and it got my curiosity and my undivided attention as well. So I decided to check it out just to see what the fuzz was all about. And the more I browsed the more I liked what they are offering, 15,000 pounds to the winner, not bad considering that you don't have to pay for anything, all you need to do is create an account and you're in. I know this is a long shot but what the heck it's time for me to display some of the images I captured with a Sony Cybershot camera. And maybe if I win I would be able to afford a fancy Digital SLR with telescopic lens and be a professionol photo hobbyist. Anyway you guys can check out my portfolio (still in the early population stages, I'm still trying to look for some quality shots) at http://poty2008.dcmag.co.uk/ or click on the link title that can be found at the bottom of this entry and look for Competition Categories near the bottom of the page, click on any of the ff. links people & portraits, animals, dusk to dawn and search for my DC member ID: xzykho, (what else!?) don't forget to click vote ok!? vote for Mr. Francis M too, his member ID is Superproxy and he has some really interesting shots. And since you're already in because you need to sign up to vote why not join the contest yourself and send me your ID's so I could vote for you. Isn't that sweet? The more the many-er, right? Spread the word, tell all your friends...

Be sure to check out my blogs every know and again for any updates, promos and my rants... http://www.xzykho.blogspot.com until then... PEACE!
