Shoulder strap or Quick release plate? Which do you use?

Hi everyone, Im excited to announce my new sponsorship with Fomito. Fomito is a Photography and video manufacturer and distributer in China. They recently reached out to me about collaborating with them to review products, and in this blog i am going to review the first item that i received the KO quick release strap buckle. When i unboxed this item i immediately noticed the build quality. It is very light and appears really durable. Im a wedding Photographer and have always used a shoulder strap for my camera. I have only used the Fomito clip for a short time, however so far I'm liking it over my shoulder strap. First it takes the weight off of my neck and shoulders and distributes it across my waist and hips. Second it gives me more freedom of movement compared to my shoulder strap. The release is very quick and easy to use, just one little button on the bottom of the clip and your camera is free. And once locked in, it is very secure. Its still to early to tell if i will permanently switch, but for now it is my favorite way to secure my camera during a shoot. Question of the day, What are you guys using to secure your cameras? Please let me know. If you want to see my video review of this product, just click this link https://youtu.be/bKpMGNj0tkQ to watch it on my youtube channel. If you want to purchase this item its only $23.99 on the Fomito website http://bit.ly/2SFhxxh until next time, keep shooting, always pursue your passion, and keep crushing it.

NEVER STOP SHOOTING

Portraits in the Flowers

By Tim Bennett • April 6, 2019
This past weekend i finally made it out to the poppy super bloom in Lake Elsinore CA. If you haven't heard, people have been flocking to this spot for the last month to get a glimpse of the flower phenomenon, unfortunately this influx of visitors has resulted in a closure of the Lake street exit off of the 15 freeway, and the city is now forcing any visitors to board a shuttle bus for $10 per person in order to enjoy this area. I wasn't interested in getting shuttled to these flowers where i would then have to fight the crowds to get the shots i wanted. so instead i got on the 15 freeway and headed north to Indian truck trail, i exited and turned rt, heading south for a few miles i found a spot that was perfect and not too crowded. Here are some shots a got that day.

Angie & Joseph (engagement)

By Tim Bennett • January 29, 2019
I recently attended my first Bridal Expo (Kiss The Bride) in Temecula CA (pechanga resort). Besides meeting over 60 Beautiful brides, i also raffled off 5 free engagement sessions. The images I'm about to share with you are from the first of the five engagements. I love meeting new people, Angie and Joseph are a beautiful young couple, and it was a blast shooting with them. I always like to start the session off by getting to know my couple, i asked them how they met and how long they have been engaged. Next i go over a basic posing framework, nothing too difficult, just the basics, this helps them build confidence and speeds up the shoot.

Fall Family Portraits

By Tim Bennett • November 12, 2018
October has been a busy month for Family Portraits, I recently had the pleasure of photographing my Brother Jason and his family in Julian,CA. When we spoke about the location Pattie (my sister in law) said she wanted a location that had plenty of trees and looked like fall. I mentioned Big Bear, however this was a little too far too travel, Then i mentioned Julian. After showing her a few pics of the area she was sold. We set out for Kayamaka Lake, which is right outside of julian.
