Here is a group of photos shot from the top of the Bay Bridge in San Francisco. These photos will literally take your breath away. I would have to think twice about climbing up there and taking pictures.

By now, you are certainly familiar with the Moo minicards, and have probably heard about the newly released Moo stickers… little prints of goodness made from your personal selection of your Flickr photos. They are (relatively) inexpensive for such small print runs, fun sizes, and quite nice on print quality. But, have you seen the new Moo note cards yet? Somehow, these slipped past me when they were first released. I found them a few weeks ago, and ordered a test set.

They just arrived, and I have to say, they are my favorite Moo product yet. While quite a bit more expensive than the other goodies ($24.99 for 16), these cards are great little mailable pieces for those needing to stay in touch with friends or even potential clients. Like all Moo products, each card can be of a different image. The cool thing about the note cards though is that they have quite a novel size and shape. The image itself is a small square (100mm x 100mm), with a little flap that lets them easily sit up for display. It’s the kind of thing that people look at and go, “Hey, neat!”

There’s plenty of room on the back for a little handwritten note, or you can have up to six lines pre-printed. Just like the MiniCards, you can also put all your contact info and icon at the bottom, back of each card.

I certainly won’t be ordering

Most cameras these days have more than enough buttons, the question becomes, are you able to adjust then all in the dark in order to get that perfect shot?

If you ask a professional photographer what the number one key to getting consistent results is they will tell you that knowing how the camera is going to react in different situations and being able to adjust settings quickly is number one on the list.

If you only pick up your camera occasionally chances are your results will be erratic. However, the more you pick it up and use it the better your results tend to be. Pack your camera with you as much as possible and shoot more pictures and the faster you will be able to react to various shooting situations.
