The Thanksgiving holiday provides us an opportunity to pause and reflect upon the many joys in our lives. That week is also considered one of the busiest travel times of the year, requiring many to venture across state lines or even cross country to celebrate with loved ones.
Here are a few tips so you won’t have to spend a moment worrying about whether your camera is ready to capture those smiling faces around the banquet table.
Preparation Pays: Those Boy Scouts know what they’re talking about when they advise us to ‘be prepared.’ This is certainly true when it comes to digital camera batteries. Make sure to pack an extra set of AA batteries or an extra rechargeable battery (depending upon your camera’s requirements). It is a very small investment and can mean the difference between getting the shots you want and hoping a relative will send copies of her pictures to you after the event is over. Stop by our store or give us a call, and we’ll make sure you have the right battery for your needs. http://tinyurl.com/4g84j6
Lens Cloths Save Time Later: Keep a lens cloth in your camera bag and spend a few seconds cleaning your camera lens before you start shooting. Finding a recurrent smudge on your favorite Thanksgiving photos can make you feel a little less joyous, and cleaning your lens before the event is far less time consuming than trying to correct the images using a photo editing program later.
Try a Travel Charger: The digital camera travel charger may be one of the most important accessories you can keep in your camera bag. You don’t need to worry about keeping up with extra cables or other attachments because our PROMASTER XtraPower Traveler series of chargers have a built in switching power supply and a flip up plug. It’s a very compact and simple charger to use. The internal 110V – 240V power supply means you can use this charger worldwide; this combined with the compact size makes it PERFECT for the traveler. http://tinyurl.com/48wpvl
Bring the Right Bag: Not all camera bags are created equal, and cramming your camera and accessories into a backpack or briefcase isn’t always the best idea. For special family visits and vacations, it pays to pack your camera and accessories in a properly-padded camera bag. There are designs for every budget and style preference, and when it comes to getting ready for a trip, a camera bag is the one accessory that can keep all your gear properly organized and protected.
