Making Memories for Generations to Come

FOTO FORUM Camera Video, Foto Forum AZ Posted on April 13, 2020 by JeffApril 13, 2020

When you think about it, our parents and grandparents documented their lives with actual photo enlargements that have become our family’s keepsakes and heirlooms.  In today’s world of electronics, digital technology prevails; we all have mobile phones and/or traditional digital cameras; and worse of all, we spend countless hours creating still images without ever making an enlargement/prints.   It struck me weird last month when I overheard one of our store experts explain to  a customer how his children email/text him photos of his grandchildren.  He actually makes photo enlargements of them.  He continued explaining that someday his kids will be knocking … Continue reading →

White Balance – The Key To Great Color

FOTO FORUM Camera Video, Foto Forum AZ Posted on June 3, 2019 by JeffJune 3, 2019

White balance is the cornerstone of color management. Although most modern digital cameras have excellent auto white balance nothing compares to customizing your camera’s white balance manually. Before demystifying the process of white balancing your camera manually it is important to understand the fundamentals of what white balancing is; and its importance in creating superlative images. White balanc first introduce was first introduced to us when video cameras replaced movie (film) cameras . Since the vidicon tube and eventually the CCD and CMOS chips are electronic they require a reference point for color. Primary Colors The positive primary colors are Red, Green … Continue reading →

Cell Phones versus a Camera… Sensor Size Matters

FOTO FORUM Camera Video, Foto Forum AZ Posted on September 24, 2018 by JeffOctober 5, 2018

There really is no comparison when it comes to choosing between cell phones versus a camera to take great pictures!  You don’t use your camera to make telephone calls, so why would you rely on your cell phone to create photographs? Aside from the fact that almost everyone has their cell phones handy to create photos at a moment’s notice, why would you trust a cell phone to preserve your precious memories? Most Cameras Can Connect to Your Smartphone The fact that you can share your memories across social media is not a valid reason; when you consider almost all … Continue reading →

This photo challenge is personal and designed for you to strengthen your core as an artist so you can better yourself and strengthen your images. Growing up in the photography industry, I had many unique experiences.

I was by his side shooting at every … Continue reading →

Instead, you will simply bring your camera gear to Foto Forum, leave it with us, and we will provide you with a claim ticket after collecting your name, phone number, and email address. Once KEH has reviewed your gear, we will call you with their offer.You will then have three options: Accept the cash offer, accept Foto Forum store credit plus 10%, or decline the offer and pick up your gearA few important notes: This is not a same-day, wait-in-the-lobby type of event. Please do not plan to stay while your gear is being evaluated. Drop it off, receive your claim ticket, and we will contact you once the review is complete.Also, we will not be itemizing or inventorying individual gear at drop-off. If you would like a personal record of what you brought in, we strongly encourage you to document your gear before leaving it with us.Gear drop-off begins Wednesday, July 15th, at 9:00 AM, and we will stop accepting gear on Saturday, July 18th, at 3:00 PM sharp. That is the cutoff, and there will be no exceptions.Please also note that the store credit option is available only for Foto Forum, not KEH.If you have any questions, feel free to call the shop at 602-263-0084.We look forward to seeing what treasures you bring through the door. 📷Remember: Keep on creating. The image you captured today can definitely change the world tomorrow.Remember: Be kind to yourself and others.Be amazing stewards on the trail.And we have to ask, What are you waiting for?

Alright, my friends, if you’ve been waiting for a new wide-angle workhorse in that “16–35-ish” lane, Tamron rolled up with a big grin: the Tamron 16–30mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 😎📸This is the kind of lens that makes you want to walk outside, point it at literally anything, and whisper, “cinematic” like a weirdo. 😂🎬A few highlights (without turning this into a tax document):* Constant f/2.8 because low-light and drama are non-negotiable 🌙✨* Ridiculously light for what it is: 440g (Sony E) / 450g (Nikon Z) 💪* Close focus down to 0.19m (7.5”) at the wide end—hello exaggerated perspective and “why does this look so cool?” shots 😮‍💨* 67mm filters (your wallet just sighed with relief) 😅* Internal zoom + fast VXD autofocus + Tamron Lens Utility support for creator-friendly tweaks 🎥And the value? It starts around $929, which is exactly why Tamron keeps living rent-free in people’s gear bags. 💸🔥My friends, don’t forget to have a fantastically blessed day wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, and never stop being amazing.Remember: Keep on creating. Because the images you capture today can definitely change the world tomorrow!Remember:� Be kind to yourself and others.�Be amazing stewards on the trail.�And we have to ask, What are you waiting for? Get Out, Arizona!”We will see you on the next adventure.www.youtube.com/@GetOutArizona#tamron #WideAngleZoom #SonyE #NikonZ #FotoForumPhoenix ... See MoreSee Less

Friendly reminder, my friends: Foto Forum will be closed Saturday, July 4, in observance of Independence Day and the 250th anniversary of the United States of America. 🇺🇸📸We will be open during normal business hours on Friday, July 3, and we will reopen for normal business hours on Monday, July 6.A little history nugget for the day: the Fourth of July celebrates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Fun fact, despite what many of us were taught in school, most of the signing actually happened later. History likes to keep things spicy.So if you need film, memory cards, batteries, chargers, cleaning supplies, or any “oh no, I forgot that thing” gear before the holiday weekend, stop in and see us ahead of time. If you have questions, feel free to contact the shop by phone or through social media.Have a safe, joyful, and meaningful Fourth of July weekend, my friends.My friends, don’t forget to have a fantastically blessed day wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, and never stop being amazing.Remember: Keep on creating. Because the images you capture today can definitely change the world tomorrow!Remember:�Be kind to yourself and others.�Be amazing stewards on the trail.�And we have to ask, What are you waiting for? 'Get Out, Arizona!”�We will see you on the next adventure.www.youtube.com/@GetOutArizona#FotoForumPhoenix #FourthOfJuly #IndependenceDay #ShopLocalPhoenix #PhotographyGear ... See MoreSee Less
