While Doing Your Christmas Cards

I recieved this e-mail and thought I would use it in my blog to reach more people.When you do your Christmas cards this year, take one card and send it to this address. If we pass this on and everyone sends one card, think of how many cards these wonderful special people who have sacrificed so much would get! When you are making out your Christmas card list this year, please include the following:

A Recovering American Soldier
c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue,NW
Washington,D.C. 20307-5001

If you want to, pass it on.

WELCOME

Hello, glad you could find the time to visit! The Clicks Of My Shutter welcomes you to a photo journal of things happening around me, places I go, sometime just to take photos. I am an amature photographer who likes taking photos more than people like looking at them!! Most of the photos can be viewed larger, I keep them pretty small for easier uploading. Remember you can look at older posts by clicking the older posts link at the end of the page. All photography is copyrighted automatically but I don't mind if you use my photos for yourself, all I ask is if you use them on another website give credit where credit is due. If you are thinking of family or other photos, e-mail me at debapaka@aol.com Thanks for visiting!

~ What To Wear ~

I found this on the Web and thought it was usefull! Photographers shooting a traditional family portrait will suggest that members wear a uniform color that the entire clan feels comfortable in. The safest colors are solid muted tones that don't distract from a person's face. Suggested color "dos" include: •Brown •Blue •Rust •Burgundy •Mocha •Hunter green •Gold Conversely, there are a number of colors that you shouldn't sport on family picture day. Some color "don'ts" include: •Purple •All neon or fluorescent colors •Bright red •Bright green •Gray In addition, individuals with fair skin should avoid wearing flesh-tones, such as: •Beige •Tan •Peach •Pink •Bright white •Yellow •Rose •Apricot Black is a controversial color in the world of family portraits. Some photographers recommend wearing black during formal shoots, though most pro shooters tell their clients to avoid wearing black in family portraits because the color may cause lighting issues. Extreme contrasts are to be avoided at all costs during photo shoots, especially when multiple subjects are involved. You're better off sticking with neutral colors that will accentuate your natural features.
