A Better Bouce Card
Yeah, we like our Gary Fong flash diffusers, but here is a guy that likes to do things the cheap and simple way. It likely works well, but who wants the look of an index card rubber banded to a $400 flash and multi thousand dollar camera. Still... interesting to watch.

Ms. O'Neill creates a TRUE oil painting based on your photo. Not cheap, but true artistry never is, or should be.

B-H Photo
THE place to order photography equipment and supplies. Beware of all the crook and scam artists in the New York area. B-H is beyond reproach as to service, price, and selection.

KEH
Used photo equipment bought and sold. I have purchased many items from here and have always been totally satisfied. In most cases, the equipment is in far better condition than described on the site.

Lens Align and Spyder Lens Cal
A review of these two lens calibration tools. Lenses, no matter the brand or cost, will not always focus precisely where they are supposed to. These tools allow you to see if your lens is actually focusing correctly or not. Not all cameras allow you to fine tune where the lens focuses, but if your camera does, you might want to investigate these tools.

M Pix
One of the best online photo labs for digital prints. Great quality, fast service, secure packing.
