Zenfolio Photo Website Hosting

I recently moved the Sherwood Imagery Website from a Wordpress blog that I hosted myself to Zenfolio.

Although I had used Zenfolio in the past, I found their limited customization options to be too constraining. But last week, Zenfolio released a major update to their system, including many site customization options. Without mucking with HTML or CSS, you can change the layout and theme of your website with just a few mouse clicks.

I always liked Zenfolio's backend for image uploading, editing and tagging. With this update, I think they offer one of the best photo hosting options available.

If you'd like your own account at Zenfolio, you can use my referral code 41T-34U-PCG during sign up to save $5.00 off your own subscription.

Essential Hiking Supplies & Equipment List

By its very nature, landscape and nature photography means that we photographers are often outdoors in less than optimum conditions, oftentimes hiking to our destination in the early morning or late afternoon, in blustery weather or winter conditions. In addition to cameras, lenses, tripods and filters, we need to carry the essential gear to keep us warm and comfortable, and to help us to survive in the outdoors, if a series of unfortunate events occur that force us to remain out longer than we had planned.

Although not targeted specifically at the photographer, the article on Essential Hiking Supplies And Equipment at my Colorado hiking trails web site http://www.coloradohikingtrails.net/ has a list of recommended supplies and equipment, compiled from a number of sources, that may be helpful in ensuring that your camera bag or backpack is stocked with the items you may need on your next photography outing.
