Freebie Friday!

So for the record,

I am a total slacker. We’re in full swing for our clothing drive (we got two brand new pairs of Hannah Montana boots for the Shelter!) and plus I’ve had very important company and more to come. I have the girl’s club this afternoon. That will be seven little girls 4-8 to play today and my pom-pom people activity is not quite ready. No, my kids are not this age, it’s all just fun for me.

Here’s a link to more great free actions!

Luscious Links / free textures and actions

I love passing along fabulous links with great information. This is a great link for free textures and actions. Why would I post a link to free actions when I sell actions? Because just like you, I love a good freebie and I’m confident my collections are worth more than what you pay. Thank you to Web Design Ledger for such useful info!

Problems with Flash - Eliminate the Red Eye - Free Action

One question I had recently in a workshop was, “Why won’t my flash work very well?”
Good question, the answer is it totally depends. Remember your camera is just a little guy who doesn’t really know what’s going on, he’s just guessing. He only throws light 8-15 ft. depending on your model. If you want to know how far your flash will go, I suggest you read your manual. If you’ve lost your manual you can download one online or even purchase a new one. How do I know this? E-x-p-e-r-i-e-n-c-e. OK, getting back to your little guy. So let’s say your daughter is in a performance at school and you want to get a great shot of her on the stage. Standing 6 rows back and using your flash the only thing that will be illumninated will be the bald man’s head in front of you. It will be fantastically shiny and prominent. So if you want to get a good picture, move close and practice!

What about reducing red eyes with flash?Most cameras now have a feature to that you can use so you don’t have to worry about it. You can read more on this link:  http://www.howstuffworks.com/question51.htm
