Where to RENT Photo Equipment

People are always want to know to know where to rent Cameras, Lenses, tripods, and all sorts of photo equipment.....and I decided to help out my friends at Borrow Lenses a little.......Over on the right side of my blog is a section title Some of My Favorite Places and they have TOP BILLING.....sometimes they even have gear for sale at discounted pricing .....

Also if you live in an area that doesn't really cater to your photographic needs...Renting a new camera body, lens, tripod or whatever before purchasing is a fantastic way to see if the equipment you are interested in actually is what you want......That is WAAAAAAAAY better than buy from a dealer to only have to return it and wait for a refund.....after a while the retailers catch on and will no longer allow you to purchase and return stuff if you do it frequently...so RENT from BORROW LENSES.............

What if you need a Tilt Shift lens for a single job.....why buy that puppy when you can rent from BORROW LENSES and save some money and make more profit.....

Or you are going on a trip of a life time....maybe an African Safari....and you need a 600mm lens or a great zoom like a 200-400mm zoom lens but you have never needed one until now.....want to fork out several thousand dollars....if you don't think you will need it once a month from then on then RENT It.....Nikon 600mm for 4 weeks a little over $1300.00 as opposed to a purchase of approx.......$5K to 7.9K Or more to get the winning bid USED on Ebay......or new from approx $9800 to 14K.
BORROW LENSES is the way to go..............

JUST HAD ATT-U-VERSE INSTALLED - ALREADY UN HAPPY

Just had ATT Uverse installed and the "Premises Tech"....decided all on his own to start closing my browser windows with out asking.....I lost over 500 tabs.....

This really sucks, as the windows did not show up in my HISTORY or in the recently closed windows or tabs.....so no effing recovery available.......

A Question was asked about HDR Photos.............

Question - How many frames do you shoot for an HDR Photo???

Answer - It is not actually about the number of frames, but rather making sure to cover the whole complete DYNAMIC RANGE of the scene.

JUST A TAD ANNOYED ... at SOME FORUM POSTERS.......

I am a member of SEVERAL different Photo forums and I lurk about a lot on lots of them that I am not a member of.....but that is neither here nor there.....

It is the frequency with which I am seeing what I deem idiot questions or questions from people just too damn lazy to do a little research.....makes me wonder how they dress themselves or decide what to eat .......you know it gets real annoying to see questions like.....I have the lowest end but newest camera and kit lens and I am thinking of buying a slightly better camera ....will my lens work on that camera......good gawd...goto www. your camera brand dot com and read the specs....
Why not just stick with the point and shoot you had and forget doing the DSLR thing as it really does require reading the manual and studying the art of photography....if you aren't willing to do a bit of research on if your kit lens will work on a better model then you are not willing to put forth the effort to learn the fundamentals of DSLR photography let alone the more advanced fundamentals of taking really good photos.......

.....I hope I did not upset anyone with this tirade but I saw this type of question on several forums tonight and all posted with in minutes of each other....it is like the poster found all of that camera brand forums and some that are for all camera buffs and just paste posted the same question across several boards......

ARRRRRRGH.........it just really makes me wonder how these people survive at all.............
