New Photography Toys
Posted by Amy | Filed under Photography
I have a few new toys I wanted to share with you. First off, I got a new Tamron camera lens this weekend at the I Heart Faces Photography workshop. I just upgraded to a DSLR camera a few months ago, so I wasn’t sure if getting a lens was something I really needed. But after they let us test some out for the day, I was hooked on the 18-270mm VC lens.
I’ve been trying it out since getting home and loving it. I didn’t move on these 2 shots which were taken about 3-5 seconds apart.
Very cool! I love the 15X zoom and stabilizer! Now I can sneak photos of my kids without them knowing.
***There is a great Tamron Bonus Mail-in Rebate Promotion going on now!
Purchase a Tamron AF 18-270mm VC lens and receive a $70 mail-in rebate.Valid for purchases made between August 15,2009 and December 31, 2009.
Another fun toy I have is FREE!
I found a new website called Photovisi that allows you to easily create photo collages in seconds. I made these from some of the workshop photos from our workshop Flickr pool.
Aren’t these fun? You can make one then download the image for free. There are several fun designs to choose from. Be sure to visit I Heart Faces for re-caps of our workshop. It was so much fun!!
