Organising & Renaming Photos for PhotoBooks

After several attempts at creating a family history PhotoBook as well as helping a customer pre-sort photos for a Wedding PhotoBook I've come up with this new method for pre-organising a large quantity of photos - I've named it "The Chapter Method".
 
Great Selection Of Filters in Stock 
 
We have a complete selection of the three most useful screw-in filters in sizes from 49mm~77mm.
 
1. PROTECTIVE FILTERs
If  you own an SLR you should keep a protective filter on each lens at all times to protect the lens glass from scratches.
 
2. CPL Filters
If you're taking photos on a day when you need to put your sunglasses on due to glare and reflections there's a good chance your photos will look better if you add a circular polariser (CPL) to your lens.
 
3. ND (Light Control) Filters
The main purpose of using neutral density (ND) filters is to reduce the amount of light that can pass through the lens.  This means they can be used to open up the aperture to reduce depth of field while keeping the shutter speed the same, or to reduce the shutter speed while keeping the aperture the same.
 
CREATIVE FILTERS 
We also have a good selection of the COKIN creative filters in the  larger P size. Find out more about the COKIN Creative Filter System here...

Greetings!

EXCITING NEWS...for those of you with a passion for photography - we are going to be organising special events for you such as accessory workshops, creative photography workshops, and photographic competitions!

FACEBOOK...the first step has been the creation of a Facebook page for Snapshot Cameras. This means we can now post announcements about these events as they come to hand. We want to create a community of photo enthusiasts so we'll run photo competitions with photos posted on Facebook. We'll also use Facebook to make announcements such as launches of new photographic workshops, the arrival of new accessories, and special promotions.

CUSTOMER PARKING...

As we've mentioned previously, we have reserved one of our car-parking spaces for the exclusive use of our customers while in our store. The rest of the car-park is a tow-away area so we have posted some images on our web site to show customers where to find the reserved space. Follow this link...
