Hows everyones year 2010.? My photography is going well. Im going to post some photos from my trip to mexico but have been way to lazy. Anyways leave me a comment I really appreciate it…! xD

(Not my Photo)

Lake Powell has always been a great family experiance for everyone I have met who has gone there. It is Americas favorite houseboating destination because of it’s vast size and over 2,000 miles of shoreline. Lake Powell stretches from Arizona to Utah and is more than 400 feet deep at some of it’s deepest parts. The photo oppertunities, fishing, rock climbing, and just plain fun is what keeps me coming back to Lake Powell year after year.

Keep In Mind
Wake up in the morning! Lake Powell has some of the most beautiful sunrises coming out from behind the rock canyon and shimmering out on the water.

Stay Awake! (until 7:30 that is) the sunsets are absolutely enchanting and make a great photo oppertunity any day

The Good.

 Office Depot Brand Professional Photo Paper:

Tested by many users Office Depot photo paper gets 5 stars on most review sites. It is said to have durability against the sun without fade.

What I Think…

Give it a try! If you dont like it you didnt spend that much money anyway.

Adorama Projet Royal Satin Paper:

This paper is Premium high resolution resin coated satin paper designed for the highest quality color images. Compatible with all desktop printers.

What I Think…

I have never had to use in home printing because I make big name companies do it for me. But from what I have read about this paper it works great and spits out high resolution photos.

9.99 on the Adorama website.

Epson’s Premium Glossy Photo Paper:

Supurb quality with accurate color balance. This paper is said to hold an image for years without one sign of fading.

What I Think…

Epson is an industry standard that has come out with dozens of different choices of paper from glossy to luster. If I were to make a safe choice on paper I would choose Epson.

15.00-20.00 in places like Staples or other office stores.

Kodak Ultima Photo Paper:

Heaviest and highest quality Kodak photo inkjet paper for show casing your best pictures.

Professional Long Lasting Photos.

What I Think…

Kodak Camera has been a household name since the camera was born. The reviews were not high for Kodak but I think you should give them a try. Just buy one pack on the cheaper side of Kodak and test it out. Who knows you may love it.

The Not So Good.

Independant photo paper brands are usually expensive and dont have a lot of paper in one package making them low on my list of paper.

Canon Photo Paper:

I like Canon products but when it comes to Canon photo paper it is a hassle. The paper is fairly expensive and most of it comes in  packs of 15.

I will be adding on to this post later but I hope this puts you in the right direction.

Photo Printing At Its Best.

In the battle of Walmart VS Costco Photo centers I would prefer Walmart all the way although they both have very good photo quality.

Why?

1) Costco is frustrating - For one thing I try to get 8×10 photos printed and they are sometimes cut off. This is frustrating as I have just spent $1 or more on a worthless photo. Walmart gets the job done perfect almost everytime!

2) Picture quality – While both Costco and Walmart have amazing picture quality Costco’s glossy is almost boring. Walmart’s photo paper adds depth to their photos which I think makes all the difference.

3) What? I order 8×10 pictures from Costco and I have to cut the border off? What is this maddness?

- I go to Walmart and when I get my photos I am proud to see how well they turned out. No cutting or extra work needed.

4) Now its time to see the bad in Walmart. The only flaw I have seen in them is their 4×6 photos. They are usually cut off but since they are almost never busy (In My Area Anyway) you can simply ask and they will redo the photo for you.

This is just a few of the reasons that I would favor Walmart over Costco.

I hope this helps =]

Make sure you make time in your busy scheduale to take time and enjoy nature. National Parks are one of the most enjoyable places you could ever go to for peace, quiet, and relaxation. Dont rush through National Parks because when you take the time to look around you will discover a world that you would have never known about.
