New Photo 101 Class announced

Wednesday December 12th at 7pm is the new date for the Photo101 class. Please call the store to sign up and pay for the class. Also the Nikon DSLR class has been postponed. I did not realize it was the day before Thanksgiving when i set it up. Come on in and see all the cool new toys you should get your loved ones that have a Photo Addiction. Oh and last thing. NO more Twinkies. So instead of donuts bring us all a box of Twinkies.

Tokina Rebates

Those of you all that have been to the store most likely have been show or told about how great the Tokina line up of Lenses are. In the DX/EF-S format the Tokina 11-16 f2.8 is a great choice for an ultra wide for your crop sensors. IN the FX format the Tokina 16-28f2.8 and the 17-35f4 are just awesome.

Photo Op

Now until April 8th is the Special Olympics Spring Carnival out on Knightdale NC. Located on 64 business on the left, right after you cross over 540. A great opportunity to test out your knew D800′s and 5D MKIII’s low light capability. Pack up your shutter release, tripod and your wide angle lens. It is for a great cause.

New Joby Gear.

Those not familiar with Joby, they are a company that makes flexible mini tripods called gorillapods. The legs are fairly sturdy and would be great for the traveling photographer. Today we got some new goods in from them. One in paticular is the Joby gorillatorch. This piece i think would be great for those with a passion for macro. One guy i have in mind (He who has way to many Nikkor 50mm f1.8E lenses) would like this. He keeps telling me that when he gets close there is not enough light. Here is quick pic of how i would use the gorillatorch for macro.
