When you come back from Holiday you'll want to preserve your Memories

OPUSalbums.com


OPUSalbums vacationIt's holiday time - and you will be taking a lot of pictures.  These pictures are cherished memories.

What then?
- load them on your computer
- go through and select thsoe you want to keep?
- edit the best ones in Photoshop - or whatever editor you use?
- view them on your screen?
- maybe catalogue them with ACDSee or whatever you use?
- maybe make a DVD or upload them to a photo sharing site.

But chances are that if you don't print them they will NEVER get looked at again.

And ultimately they will be lost..  (Read our article - "Are your Photos Invisible?"

So what we recommend is that you make up an album - quick and easy, compact.  Make an extra copy for Mum too!

We have three economically priced albums, using our very popular and high quality Olmec double sided gloss paper.  -  Pics Book Jr with its unique invisble staple binding, Flexalbum - hard covers and no limit on the number of pages - and the very economical Print&Bind.  All of these have special 2009 vacation deals.

And don't forget to use our print-your-own postcards.  We always send these and our friends love it!

To make up your album we recommendFotoslate4 - but of course if you have a favoured program, then use it by all means.  Our DG Foto Art Essentia - whilst ideal for wedding albums is great too.

So read on - you'll see our tips - from our own experience..."

Reflections in the sand OPUSalbums Tip 3 - Have your own viewpoints

Get the views that the guide books don't have
-    That particular sunset that only you saw
-    The local fête that you stumbled upon
-    The sea/beach as it was
-    The lines and reflections in the sand
-    The meals you enjoyed
-    Nature in action
-    The unusual viewpoint/perspective
-    You/your partner (or both) in the picture
-    The wide view (use wide-angle)
-    The detail (use telephoto or macro) - but remember that you can always crop later.
-    The particular surroundings
-     Pictures before you left
-     Pictures when you were back home

Take plenty of pictures so don't be short of memory capacity  - a portable viewer with 20 or more GB is a worthwhile addition.  If you take a lot of high-res/RAW pictures even a 16GB card won't be enough!
OPUSalbums Print&Bind OPUSalbums Tip 10: Write a good story

Have a balance of textual and photographic material - and make the story interesting.  Add facts, anecdotes etc.  Not too much or you will never read the story.

It might be a good idea to use the reverse side of the album page for the story and low quality pictures (e.g. from the web).  No problem with OPUSalbums papers - but there could be with other suppliers' paper.




album software And use the best software


There are more expensive products - but for your vacation we recommend ACD's Fotoslate4

So have a wonderful holiday.  Bring home some good pictures - and don't forget those albums - or Pics Books

You're on vacation.  Take a pack of ColorJet postcards with you. 
Taks a nice photo - or get another holiday-maker to photo you and your family together by the beach, historical site, view or in a fun-park.  Write a fairly standard message - go into an internet café and print your photos.  Even better take your laptop and a small portable printer with you!
That's what we do.
