Photography and Hotel Marketing




Photographing resorts and hotels is an art, and images are the most
powerful sales tool the hospitality industry has. The problem is cost.
With the advent of Photoshop and digital photography some marketing
decision makers think that the photographic process has become so
easy that anyone with a digital camera can create a
picture for their promotions, but more knowledgeable marketing directors know the difference between a
professional photographer and an amateur with a digital camera who
proclaims himself a professional.

With new technology and the advent of Photoshop it seems that more and more
Resorts and Hotels are choosing less expensive photographers to produce
their promotional material. But they are finding that the quality of the photos, as well as the cold, unfeeling look of the images, is not saleable. For example, there is a new digital technique called HDR that allows
photographers to shoot images without having to light the subject (i.e., “shooting with available light”). Although the HDR procedure allows the photographer to shoot high contrast subjects without losing detail, the resulting image appears stark and unnatural. There is no “soul” or feeling in the photos, as is evident when an HDR photo is compared to a photograph that was composed by a professional using appropriate lighting.

The real cost of using inexperienced photographers using amateur techniques is much higher than it appears when you factor in the cost of lost sales and the reduced promotional impact. Obviously it will effect your bottom line. The fact is that in photography, like all else, you get what you pay for........

Hello this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.

I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

waterfall taps come with two types of mixers: Manual mixer: The showerhead operates in the traditional style, but with its own cold and hot water cheap taps. The hose and spray of the shower stay attached to the wall and the hot and cold water connect to a single adjoining system. Tled taps: The adjustable showerhead is set to control the water temperature of the shower. The thermostatic mixer allows one to determine the temperature and speed required for the shower. The hose and shower mixer stick out of the wall and connect to a single unit to stabilise the water temperature, based on your selection. This is also a great water basin tap .

ite soccer game of $20 Sack

lay all things Dre (all night, no joke), guests are encouraged to drink 40s, indulge in rap snacks, or win prizes in heated rounds of Dre trivia. Or you could participate in a game of $20 Sack Pyramid, if only because that's a real thing that exists here. Tickets are $10 in advance (more at the door), with a complimentary "gin and juice" open bar from 9 to 10. And if that's a little too early to head out to the bars for you, grab a 40 from your corner bodega and pregame for the night's festivities with this excellent Dre Day mix, courtesy of Jimmy 2 Times.The rest of your Friday evening is committed to dance music. If you're in Brooklyn, head to the Heavy Carnivale loft massive in Bushwick, where bass reigns supreme. There's a little bit of everything in tonight's mix: Ninjatune's Poirer, Basement Bhangra queen DJ Rekha, the self-explanatory Bassanovva (Grahmzilla & Jubilee), house head $mallchange, and Konkrete Jungle's Liondub preside over a dance floor that will undoubtedly last well into the early morning. .Aliexpressite xpect a mix of tropical dance, jungle, dubstep, house, and bhangra, as well as light installations, live performances, and all those things that make raves so spectacularly weird. Tickets are $15 before midnight, $20 after. Good luck.If you're staying cityside, head over to District 36, where electronic dance label Planet E will be celebrating their 20 years of making you dance. The label's most prominent artist, legendary Detroit techno producer Carl Craig, headlines the fete with DJ Derrick May and the U.K.'s Paul Woolford. While we've seen these guys before, basking in their glory on District 36's insane soundsystem is enough to motivate us to catch them yet again. Tickets are $25 in advance, and we suspect they're more at the door. And if you're looking to take it easy, try Hot Chip's Alexis Taylor at Le Bain. He won't be singing tonight, but instead manning the turntables with House of House's Saheer Umar. No cover, but get there early if you want.ite soccer any chance of getting in.
