The Phoblographer

Online Wedding Photography Hub, SnapKnot, is giving a way a free registration to WPPI’s Las Vegas trade show. The show, on February 21-23, 2011, is a chance to explore the latest wedding and portrait photography products and techniques. The random drawing doesn’t include travel or accommodations, but will include a year’s membership to WPPI for those who don’t have one.

The trade show exhibitor list includes camera companies Nikon and Canon, a number of print, proof, and binding companies, marketing solutions like The Knot, and equipment vendors like B&H. Also on the list are a number of lighting, medium format, and digital processing companies.

To enter, photographers must register with SnapKnot and leave a witty posting on the contest page. Good luck!

We’ve already discussed how important your lenses are and tomorrow the Manfrotto School of Xcellence will be hosting a free webinar coaching photographers on tips and tricks for improving one’s photography. Specifically, they’ll be discussing mastering specific camera modes such as aperture priority and shutter priority, even full manual, as well as proper lens selection. The webinar will feature commentary from Marc De Tollenaere.

You can catch it tomorrow, 8/27/2010 from 2-3 PM Eastern time for free. You can go here to register.

There are loads of photo editing programs available, but sometimes you’re in wonderment as to which one you should get your hands on. If you’re trying to figure this out or if you’re looking to explore new programs, you should check this essential list out after the jump.
