The Snappy Snapper: December 2011
http://thesnappysnapper.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 23, 2011. Rejection is something that we photographers come cross on a regular basis - some would say far too regulary. And in all sorts of different guises. You may come across rejection when contributing to a stock agency that fails your submission due to technical errors or another that declines your submission simply because they have too many images of the Eiffel Tower, or just because they don't think it's a good enough photograph. Dear Stephen Power,. Which was read with interest.

The Snappy Snapper: May 2012

Friday, May 18, 2012. Lots of beginners to photography hear the word "stop" or f-stop" and become quite confused. So, I thought I would try and explain the theory behind the mysterious "stop". In photography, "stop" is the word used to mean double the previous amount of a value applied to a camera setting - if the value is increasing - or half the amount if the value is decreasing. It applies to ISO, shutter speed and aperture settings. Just be aware that there are a couple of changes in the shutter spee...

Thursday, June 28, 2012. Alamy White Paper on Image Licensing. Alamy, the major international online stock photography agency, have published their "white paper" on possible changes to image licensing issues, following a "round table" discussion (actually, the table was rectangular from what I saw in the photo they published) with "key industry figures" (you work it out - I know I wasn't there). You can download the white paper by clicking here. Maybe it depends on what Alamy do next? Links to this post.

The Snappy Snapper: January 2013

Monday, January 7, 2013. Random Acts of Kindness Re-Visited. On this blog, in 2008, I wrote about my first year of blogging and tied it in with something that happened in my first professional year of photography 30 years ago. So, to start off 2013 and celebrate a full 30 years of carrying around a serious camera, I'm recalling that post and adding some additional paragraphs to update it - it at the end. At one point, during the day, I turned up a bit late, to photograph actors Ricky Tomlinson. We arrive...

Thursday, July 26, 2012. How to Get New Photography Clients. You may lose the Sale - but you should Never Lose the Client! All you need to be successful as a photographer is a good camera and a good understanding of how to use it, right? To find potential clients -and when you have found them, you need to turn them into new clients - or at least good contacts for future sales. I've become a bit concerned by seeing how some photographers operate with new clients and even with each other, sometimes. Who ca...

Tuesday, May 3, 2011. I finally got around to self-publishing a book via Blurb.com. It took me several months to finally make up my mind about the photographs that I wanted to include; and even now I feel that I would like a second attempt to stream-line the theme a bit more. Ironically, since finishing the Blurb book, I now have a publisher interested in an idea I have for another one. A Small Window on Kerry by Stephen Power. Make Your Own Book. Links to this post.

The Snappy Snapper: March 2012
http://thesnappysnapper.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 11, 2012. In the last 3 days alone, I have found - either through looking or by sheer accident - around 20 examples of my photographs being used without my knowledge or permission. These uses include commercial websites, forum posts, email newsletters and the cover of a specialist, internationally published magazine. I managed to contact some of those who had taken my images, via: email, Facebook messaging and telephone. The responses that I got back have, so far, varied from: no reply.

Sunday, September 16, 2012. Cameracraft - Revival of the 'Real' Photo Magazine. Click here to go the the Cameracraft page. I was taking a short weekend break with my partner Marj, at her hideaway in County Kerry, Ireland, recently, when I realised that I had forgotten to pack my Kindle. Now, if you're me, and you've just finished a long photography commission and the light isn't good enough to snap a few potential stock library images; then you'll need something to read. And, not just anything. They also...

Saturday, January 14, 2012. I must be a good photographer - I have a Good Camera! I had a brief stint as a wedding photographer, in the mid 1980's, and I was recently reminded of something that happened at that time. When I got back to the tripod, a guest (a cousin of the bride) was snapping away at the happy couple with a 35mm camera, and so I thought I'd be helpful and said "by the way, have you compensated for that backlight? You're joking aren't ya - it's a f* *ing Nikon! Have a look at this blog.
