Two things I found very useful.

Flash photography, great website on getting the most from you hotshoe flash:

http://www.planetneil.com/tangents/ loads of information in the blog but also in the dedicated sections on equipment.

Once back on the computer here is the best instruction book on retouching, it is by Gry Garness, very in depth and complete eBooks on retouching using CS3 or CS4.

I could have sworn white house custom color was on the album list last time I checked. Maybe I'm going blind-- that would be a REAL problem! lol

I searched the album links but found none that fit into what i would like.

What Am looking for is the blank album that will fit roughly ~200 5x7 or ~300 4x6.
I need them to be impressive, durable as well as right price (~30/each maybe?).
I already give them other album, and like to add a second album that contain other non-specialty-photos album (but wont cost much for me or for them) into my package.
Please help if you know where or any suggestion

The best quality printing company I have used anywhere in the world:

I will leave it here, but we try only to list businesses that work ONLY with professionals, etc. Many photographers use and love Animoto, but many chose not to for those same reasons.

Thanks for the contribution!

A truly excellent response. I recently tried wedding album spain http://www.weddingalbumspain.com and was delighted with the results.

Keep up the good work!

I wonder how much money this post has made collectively for all the companies that are noted here.

Note the POWER of FM.

I have received phone calls from presidents of companies, asking for a higher ranking... lol, I told them what I'll tell you.

Strive to produce the best, work with the best, and only offer the best to professionals and we'll talk. =o)

any suggestions on pro business cards? We have used moo before. Just wanted to get some new feedback

www.gotprint.com did an awesome job on my cards for a great price/time frame!

Wow...thanks so much! This is fantastic. We do a non-for-profit podcast where we supply resources such as many from this list but I'm so impressed with the content. Thanks so much!

Seriously, my game just went from F- to C-, just from utilizing rentglass and paperpresentation.....*sniff*....I think I love you....

These comments are so helpful especially to a complete noob like me.

Any one have a checklist of shots that you have to take every time?

By the way, you recommended bludomain.com for a "fancy website"... they're supposed to be bankrupt, or something like that. Do your research, I did not, and I can't any help with my site now that they have my money.

excelent post!

This information was AMAZING and so helpful! I hopped on the forum today looking for coffee table album options - THANK YOU for positing this ;-)

just in your technique using yours. Or it could be different angles to your ambient light.
