Stumbled over at twitter yesterday, this list of Photography Rules for Complete Idiots gave me a good laugh. The author doesn’t mean to make fun of the newbies, but reading on, there are indeed amateurs who don’t make use of their common sense. There are concepts that don’t take a genius’ capacity to realize and comprehend.
Here are a few examples of the hilarious rules:

Now I’m off to check my busy schedule if I can squeeze some time for this one. I’ve been meaning to enroll myself in a photography class.
I suddenly remembered that my son scored in the Trick or Treat at Greenbelt a gift certificate from The Picture Company for a free photo session. I’ve been meaning to schedule one so we can have our family portrait that I’ll be using for our photo christmas cards this year. The gift certificate is expiring on the 30th so I have to make sure that we free one weekend for this.
I have also started looking for elegant Christmas cards at 123print.co.uk. Unfortunately, I haven’t decided still which one to go for because the vast selection of cards they have on their gallery gives me a tough time. I mean if only I can choose them all but I only got a few friends and relatives to give so just one design should do. Hmm..I’ll go through the designs one more time and hopefully I will come up with my final choice in a while.
Cameras especially the DSLRs are expensive so as responsible owners, utmost care must be given to them at all times. I’ve read several helpful articles on the web regarding the proper way of taking care of them and the most common reminder I’ve read is to safely keep them away from humidity. If in case, they are unused for a period of time, better store them in its camera bag/case inside and place it inside a closet or any secured place and not just on top of an unstable rack mount. Further, as a lens is the heart of a camera, they must be thoroughly cleaned using lens cleaning papers or brushes only as they are very sensitive to scratches.
