Over the past couple of years, clients have regularly asked me about registering for photography workshops in Metro Detroit area. I will be offering a variety of workshops in 2012 that cover a wide range of topics for amateur and professional photographers including the basics of operating a DLSR camera to model lighting concepts!

I am in the process of creating a series of Metro Detroit workshops for the year and have a number of polls to help ensure the right level of information is shared. Poll results are completely anonymous.

Detroit Photographer

As a professional photographer, I am regularly evaluating my clients’ needs and determining where my attention should be focused to provide the best customer experience in the industry that my clients have come to expect.

To that end, I wrote an article last year on what to consider when selecting a photographer based on feedback I have personally received.

Now, it’s your turn! What is most important to you when considering a professional photographer? What are the top traits you look for when referring someone to friends and family?

NOTE: If you would like to see something else added to the list, please leave a comment below and I’ll let you know when I have added it.

As 2010 quickly approaches, I am evaluating my clients’ needs and determining where my attention should be focused in the new year.  A few months ago, I wrote an article on what to consider when selecting a photographer. 

I’ve asked a number of people for their input on Twitter on what was the most important trait to look for and received some excellent responses from @jeffbobick, @thetrudz, @forestgrovemom, @smithography and @briannaphelan. I’d like to thank each of them for their insight!

I recently tried a batch of 32 Quantaray Power Z rechargeable AA batteries (1.6v) that featured a new NiZn formula. I have mixed feelings about them. They cycled my speedlights faster than anything else I’ve tried; however, the batteries tended to overheat and destroy themselves if worked too hard. As a result, they would no longer accept a charge.

I’m not recommending them at this point unless it was for a low power draw purpose.

So, what do you think? What’s the best rechargeable AA battery for digital photography??
