It’s no secret: I’ve well and truly fallen in love with the OM-D EM-5 from Olympus. small, lightweight (yet incredibly well built) camera with great interchangeable lenses and excellent focusing. Add to that the beautiful retro look too: You’ve got yourself an amazing camera. A full review will be up here on the blog in the next week or so.
Fully Loaded Promotion from Olympus
I took an EM-5 on loan from Olympus UK over a week ago. It only took about 4 days though before I had placed an order for my own along with the 12-50mm kit lens and the ultra sharp 17mm f.18 lens. One of the reasons I opted for the EM-5 over the EM-1 though was because Olympus currently have a truly irresistible offer running:
Free HLD-6 Battery Grip and M.Zuiko 45mm f/1.8 Prime Lens when you purchase an OMD EM5 with 12-50 Kit.
When you buy an Olympus OM-D EM-5 with the 12-50mm kit lens (for £899) from a UK reseller holding stock purchased from Olympus, you can then claim a FREE Battery Grip (HLD-6) and the 45mm M.Zuiko f/1.8 Kit lens for free. These items retail at over £430! (I’ve listed some UK Resellers below)
Note: Terms and Conditions Apply, purchase must be made between (24/01/2014 – 31/03/2014) and proof of purchase needs to be shown to qualify for promotion
We love discounts here at Ready Steady Pro and often blog, tweet and share current discounts on products we like. That’s why today we want to share sales that two companies we love currently have running. Not we’re not endorsed or backed or affiliated with either of these companies – we just love their products!
These are time-sensitive and these discounts both expire so act fast!
Moo.com – 35% discount.
Firstly, Moo.com are running another one of their 25% off sales! Meaning you can save a huge amount of money on printed products such as business cards, luxe business cards, stickers, postcards, minicards and notecards. Hold on though! That’s not all. If you’re not happy that 25% off is enough you can go ahead and add this discount code at the checkout for an extra 10% off on top of that, meaning you can get 35% off!
The next offer up for grabs is from Whitewall. Whitewall are giving up to 15% off when you spend over £150, which means you can save over £20 when you order £150 worth of prints! If you don’t have £150 worth of prints to order though not to worry, there are other discounts available too: All you need to do is use one of the following discount codes:
5% off orders up to £50: Profi5UK
10% off orders from £50 – £150: Profi10UK
15% off order over £150: Profi15UK
Expires January 31st
Do let us know if you make use of the discount codes and order business cards or prints. We’d love to see your products!
We love discounts here at Ready Steady Pro – anything to help emerging professional photographers reduce the cost of doing business is surely a good thing!
Well, 5DayDeal.com have put together a totally amazing bundle of eBooks, Discounts, Presets, Actions, Video’s, Courses and more worth over $1,200 and are offering this for a limited time for the quite absurd price of $89…This is easily the biggest set of discounts we’ve mentioned here on ReadySteadyPro.co.uk!
What’s the catch?
There is just 1 catch to this: the deal is only lasting for 5 days! Sale dates are between January 5, 2014 at noon EST till January 10,2014 at noon EST. There will be no late sales and a sale with this combination of products will not happen again. So jump in and get yours now!
My little highlights here are worth just under $400 by themselves!!
How did you know about this bundle?
It was Martin Bailey who bought this to my attention over on Google+. Martin has actually been kind enough to contribute his own Fine Art Print Border Script, which is usually available on it’s own for the price of $12. (If you’re reading this after January 10th you can purchase that here).
We’ll be updating this page throughout the day, rounding up all the best and the biggest deals for photographers for this Black Friday period. eBooks, Video’s, Products, Gear, Training…if there is a big sale going on we’ll try to link to it here. (If you know of a sale and we’ve not yet listed it let us know!)
Well this Friday they’re having a 50% off sale for Black Friday. Everything (except the PHOTOGRAPH Magazine) is half price. No need for codes or anything like that, just go to the Craft & Vision site, fill your cart and check out.
The most amazing thing about these Craft & Vision products is that they’re already incredibly low priced as it is and the quality of the eBooks is second to none! You can get all of these amazing titles for half price:
More titles from more amazing photographers and authors are available at half price too. My own personal recommendations are the books by Martin Bailey: “Sharp Shooter” & “Making the Print“. Both of these books have certainly helped my own photography, particularly Making the Print. The best thing? Well, they’re usually only $5 each, which is crazy! But now you can get them both for $2.50 each. Bonkers!
Meaning, for as little as $10 (or about £7 or so) you can pick up 4 extremely inspirational, educational, motivational, interesting, amazingly produced, written and designed eBooks you’ll ever get the chance to read. Bargain!
So, check ’em out. 50% off all eBooks (Except the PHOTOGRAPH Magazine) at Craft & Vision this Black Friday. One Day Only!
Previously, if you wanted to move in on the Adobe Creative Cloud deal to get CS6 & LightRoom 5 for the amazing low price of £ per month, you could only do this if you’d previously owned a copy of Creative Suite (either CS3, CS4 or CS5.)
Well now Adobe are letting everyone in on the deal! BUT ONLY FOR A FEW MORE DAYS!
Now, you can get the latest version of Adobe LightRoom and CC for the low, low price of £8.78 per month (Inclusive of VAT!). No previous purchase required. This deal is truly open to all!
Okay, Okay, I can see comments and all sorts coming my way about the pro’s & con’s of the Creative Cloud, but to be honest this post is purely intended to highlight the price and amazing availablity of the offer to everyone. I could spend the time pre-empting questions and defending Adobe’s plans but there are a few things stopping me:
1 – I’m not teally qualified to comment on what Adobe get up. All I do is continue to use their products and enjoy them
2 – Scott Kelby has already written an extensive Q&A blog. Why duplicate work, right?
If you want all the facts my advice would be to head over to Scott Kelby’s blog and check out the extensive Q&A Section he has going on there. Chances are the answer to your question is right there!
Some may say that in a world where many transactions and interactions happen online, things like business cards may seem a little old-hat. I beg to differ however, particularly if you’re in a creative market such as photography.
I’m a huge advocate of business cards – they have can have quite an impact. A dull and cheap feeling card can very much leave a potential client with the exact same impression of your business (that you’re dull and cheap too!) whereas something a little more interesting, creative and stand-out can have your clients asking you all sorts of questions.
Well, I could write a long blog post to explain, but then I thought “Why not just do a video?” So, that’s what I’ve done.
In the video I talk about Moo’s service, the quality of the cards including the printing. I go over a little issue I had with colour differences and tell you what Moo have done to resolve it and I also include a code for 10% off should you order yourself any printed products from Moo – so, there is some take home value for you!
Below the video are some hi-res images, so, if you’re in a place where you can’t watch a video, just take a look at the images instead!
So, What Do They Look Like Up Close?
I’ve done a few quick shots on my desk just to give you an idea of what they cards look like up close. I’ve only photographed 4 of my 5 designs as I had colour issues with one of them (I talk about it in the video).
Be sure to click the images to view them at a larger size:
I approached Squarespace earlier this week with a view to having them provide you guys – the listeners with a discount code for their amazing services. As you may know I use Squarespace for RammellPhotography.com and have done for over 2 years now! It makes creating an amazing looking website such an easy task!
Now, I know that some people are quite anti-ads in podcasts, but I have to be honest: This show costs me money from my own pocket to record, host and run every week. This sponsorship with Squarespace will allow the show to grow and go from strength to strength.
Squarespace: Everything you need to create an exceptional website
I would NOT be promoting Squarespace if it was not a product I didn’t believe in myself
As a working photographer with a day job as well my time is precious and I cannot afford to sit around coding and playing games with the other platforms. Squarespace enables me to design the website I have in my mind and better.
