Some Sharpening Love

Hey All :)

Just wanted to let you know about an awesome action that the super talented and sharing Dustin Francis made and is sharing with the photo community. I'm sure you've all heard of "Magic Sharp" a poplular sharpening action made by Kevin Kubota . Well Dustin has made a very similar sharpening action that he is sharing, free of charge, with people. So if you don't have the money to drop on one of Kevin's action packs to get the legendary "Magic Sharp" this is a great alternative!

Click here to go Dustin's blog and download the action!

Enjoy :) THANK YOU DUSTIN!!!

Retainer vs. Deposit

Ok so since I just posted up about that cool blog I figured I'd pull one of the videos to give you a taste of what they have over there. Here is a good video talking about the difference in your word usage for photography contracts.  If you aren't using the word RETAINER for a clients 1st initial payment beware!  Robert Nowell explains in this video from EnlightenMe:

Oh and since Google Maps tends to totally mess people up when they try and find our house, here is my revised version for you guys to make it a little less likely you'll get lost :)

SEDONA ADDRESS LIST

Hey Guys :)

I just sent out an e-mail to everyone with the model's addresses. I thought that was a little more private for them than posting it up here on the blog. But if for some reason you came, but didn't get my e-mail I just sent out, let me know and I will forward it along to you so you can get your cd's out for them

On a side note I know I mentioned it in the e-mail but I'll say it here again:

PLEASE SEND CD'S OUT TO THE MODELS

These guys really did us a favor and spent money coming all the way down to Sedona to model for us and put up with all of us and our photo madness. They helped us build our portfolios, the least we can do is send them a CD with the photos we took on it. If you don't have time to edit all the images, just edit your favorite 10-20, but include ALL images of the model on the disk for them. (you don't have to put the blurry, crappy, or bad expression ones on there though). If the models don't get photos we might have to start charging for these shoots and actually paying models to come out and I'd like to not have to do that.  Thanks guys :)

The Sedona Photos!!!!!

Hey guys I hope you have all recovered from our whirlwind weekend! The photos are starting to roll in from the shoot and it looks like you guys got some amazing images! Here are just the first few to roll in, I'll be posting up more as I get them so make sure to keep checking back!

We had such an awesome time with everyone at the shoot! I am so excited to see the awesome photos you guys were able to grab of the great models we had. If you'd like to share an image from the shoot I would love to post it up here on the blog. Just send me an image sized 640 pixels wide to kadie@pangburnphotography.com along with a link to your blog or website.

Here's just a quick one I grabbed off my card to let everybody who didn't come get an idea of the awesomeness to come!!!



And here are just some fun action shots I snapped...

How Leah can bend like this I would love to know! I guess when you spend a lot of time on the ground taking pictures of kids you must get flexible!


Apparently laying on the ground is a popular past time for us photogs... lol


Or sitting.... lol


There was a crazy big mass of us in this one spot at once during the day...






This is part of my "good little hubbies standing around holding their wives things" series... Jeremy was such a trooper all day!


This is my fav lol! Nice little brand placement for Casia too lol...
