42nd Street Photo: Summertime Tips

As June approaches, we are in summer for sure. The bright sun, great food and wonderful memories are just some of the things we all love about this time of year. Making family memories is a large part of summer and you do not want to miss out on capturing them with your camera. If you need a camera, check out what we have available at 42nd Street Photo. Here are some great tips to capturing your most cherished times throughout this summer:

• Many cameras have a setting available on the white balance that is called ‘cloudy’. By choosing this setting on the bright sunny days, you can avoid the blue tint that the sun tends to leave in your pictures. Check your manual if you are not sure how to change or access this setting because every camera is different. 
• When photographing objects, be sure to be aware of the light. Obviously it is the sun but you need to pay attention to what side the sun is on, how the shadows lie on the subjects, and if the sun is too much for your human subject’s eyes. By adjusting your settings on your camera, you can avoid harshness the sun can cause and odd shadowing. You can change the direction the people face in your photos to avoid the squinty eye look!
• Before you go out and aimlessly shoot nature photos, get some inspiration. Check out other photos that have been done as well as magazines and more. Get ideas of what you would like to achieve and make a list. There may be some things you do not see in other photos but you know you would like to get some shots of it- write it down and go get ‘em!

Don’t be shy- for most of us, summer comes and goes too quickly so get out and take advantage. Go to the pool, on a walk, to the park- anywhere that memories can be captured! Do not forget to have fun! Happy people make the best subjects in photos!

42nd Street Photo: Camcorders vs. Camcorder

At 42nd Street Photo we have a variety of photography equipment but we also have many different camcorders. Camcorders can come in all different price ranges and have different features. Some of them use memory cards while others have a hard drive for memory.

Both memory card and hard drive camcorders are digital and neither use tapes. This is different from those in the past. Both of these types of camcorders became available to the general public around 2002. Whether you are looking for a camcorder for your professional business or just for home with the family, we have what you need at 42nd Street Photo.

The camcorders that are digital can also take still photos. This sets them apart from the old type of camcorder. They usually include USB and HDMI connections. Both hard drive and memory card camcorders are around the same size being small but the hard drive one is a bit larger.

There are different sizes and weights to consider when purchasing a camcorder. Of course, it depends on what you are using it for primarily. If you are going to be in danger of possibly dropping the camcorder, a hard drive one is not a good choice.

Just one fall could ruin it. The memory card camcorder can stand more pressure.
The next thing you must consider is how much memory space you will need. This can help to decide between the memory card or hard drive camcorder. Each of them has options for space needs. The hard drive camcorder can come with anywhere from 30 to 120 GB. While this should be enough for anyone, if it is not, getting more with this camcorder can be difficult. It involves deleting or clearing space to a computer. With a memory card camcorder, you can simply switch out the card as often as necessary to record whatever you need.

Both memory card camcorders and hard drive ones are great products. Choosing which to purchase all depends on your needs. Check out the camcorders available at 42nd Street Photo and choose the best product for you!
