This article was recently shared with my by a friend, and although it did not pertain directly to the type of photography that I do (I don't do weddings, I don't do family portraits, I don't take pictures of people's cats) I did find it interesting, and thought I'd, in turn, share it with my UHH friends.

Even though my business is selling art pieces at festivals, I did find Terrible Client Magnet #1 to be spot on with my experience. Now, I'm interested in hearing what those of you whose business is more client service oriented think.

I have two cameras, a panasonic lumix Zf5 and a rebel t2i with kit lens 18-55mm and 55-250. I seem unable to get really crisp photos with the rebel most of the time although on occasion they look pretty good.
The lumix seems to give brighter crisper photos most of the time which is frustrating no end, as I thought I had upgraded my equipment - especially for birding and animals a bit far away. I can't seem to decide whether the lumix does better because the lens are better (leica) than the kit lens. So should I get a better lens set for the rebel and would that be better all around. Or just go back to using the lumix? I sure could use some help and good advice!

I clearly don't love them.....in fact I never attach them when setting up a new camera. They get hooked on something and have caused more harm than good over the years. But.......REALLY RIGHT STUFF (B2 FABN) has released a new product that attaches to your camera strap (the strap does not attach to your camera)....and you can then clamp on your camera when and if you want....or remove when you want. The strap stays around your neck most of the time with no camera attached. You can then attach your camera only if you need both hands to do something else. Pretty cool.

Here is the link to this little gem
