TRIPODS
One of the most common problems we see in our business is that photos just are not sharp. The camera is focusing fine, the exposure is correct, but there is camera movement. It may not be as noticeable in a small print, but when you enlarge it, it is very apparent. The soultion is a TRIPOD. The tripod is the most overlooked accessory in the photographers arsenal of equipment. There are many types and styles and price ranges of tripods, and the trick is to match the size and capacity to your camera. If you are using a good SLR with a medium range zoom lens, you can't get by with a $39.95 tripod. This is one place where you don't try and get by cheap. If you buy a good tripod in the first place, it should last you for many years, and improve your photography. If you buy a cheap tripod, you will have to replace it many times, so buy a good one the first time, and you save money in the long run

Drawing for Don's Old Camera Collection
Hello again
Many of you have been asking about my old camera collection that was on display in our old location. Well, here is the scoop. It is going to be given away in a random drawing.
It consists of approximately 100 old cameras dating back to the early 1900's. There are Autographics, Brownies, Rollies, box cameras, a Hassleblad, Kodak Instant, 120, 620, 116, 616, 127, 135 film cameras, Polaroid. Many makes, many models. Some work, some don't.
The deal is this. You send your Name & e-mail to info@firstphoto.biz. The drawing will be held on JUNE 10TH. The winner gets the entire collection. All or nothing. It will be picked up at the store, or can be shipped at the winners expense to your location. I WILL NOT RESPOND to questions regarding what models are in the collection. It was something that I collected for over 20 years. There are very few if any duplicates. Just things that I thought were different and cool. No SLR's.
Good luck!!!!
