Photography Analysis Of Orange County Wedding Photography Location Marbella Country Club

categories: Photography

Next to the photographer, the wedding location is the most important factor for obtaining an excellent wedding photography collection. Marbella Country Club, located in Orange County’s San Juan Capistrano, if shot correctly can produce unique and memorable wedding shots.

At the entrance of the Country Club there is a sign with the locations name. A photographer should take a picture of the sign for the event he will later wish to use the shot as an opening page of a wedding album. The picture of a sign introduces the album viewer to the wedding location and is a logical way to begin.

In the reception area, there is a rounded double directional stairwell. This is an excellent spot to take group pictures. The large stairwell has a stately look to it and it can fit 40 or 50 people. The stairs are nicely spaced by length and height so that the subjects are usually not blocking each other when they line up. The photographer should, however, get close enough so that only the stairwell is in view. Often there are a number of people eating or walking on the plaza above the stairwell. These persons will create a distraction if they are captured in the shot.

The actual ceremony takes place on a large grassy area. While there is some shade, it is limited. The photographer should plan on many of the shots that cover the entire wedding ceremony party to be in direct sunlight – which is often not conducive to flattering lighting. He should plan on taking small groups aside and shooting them in the shade. Because of the relative lack of shade, the time of day of the wedding will have a profound impact on the quality of wedding portraits obtained.

The indoor reception areas does not have a lot of windows; hence, natural lighting is difficult to come by. The party should get all of the natural lighting shots they desire outside before heading inside for the reception.

The Marbella Country Club in Orange County California is a beautiful location with much photojournalistic potential. The lush green grass and shrubs, Mediterranean style, and beautiful indoor decor provide some great raw materials for a photographer to exploit in the pursuit of a fantastic wedding photography collection.

The Popularity of Beanie Babies

categories: Photography

One of the most popular toys ever with kids is Beanie Babies. They were originally launched in 1993. From the very start they were very popular with people who would often stand in long lines in order to buy them.

The toys might have been named Beanies because of the beans (plastic pellets) that are stuffed inside them.

Beanies Babies in a smaller size were called Teenie Beanies and they were given away at McDonalds. If you purchased a Happy Meal then you would also receive a free Teenie Beanie. At one time a complete set could sell for about $100 on eBay.

From the introduction of the Beanie Baby there were two tags attached to them. The heart shaped “swing tag” and the “tush tag” on the toys bottom. As time went by both the tags have changed. The later generation heart tags also had a poem and birth date.

The creator of Beanies, Ty Warner, had a winning marketing strategy in the beginning that created a lot of excitement and demand for the toys.
Ty kept the price of the toys low so they were affordable to the masses. Contains about anyone could afford to spend about five dollars for these cute stuffed toys.

In the beginning production and distribution was limited to only small retailers. Retailers could only order a certain quantity each month. By making them scarce Ty was able to increase the publics demand for them.

Ty would also “retire” them after a few months. To “retire” a Beanie meant that it would no longer be manufactured. This created even more scarcity and demand for the toys.

In 2008 the toys went online and were referred to as 2.0. Ty had a special website for them. It was a short time later that production of the 2.0 Beanies ended because they just werent popular enough with people.

Some of the most notable Beanie Babies among them is Garcia the bear which became popular for its ty-dyed colors.

Decade the bear was also popular and was made in honor of the tenth anniversary of the Beanie Babies.

Beanie Babies went through many changes, but they always remained the most popular soft toy in the marketplace.

Today you can find the Babies anywhere from a small gift shop to big box stores like Target.
The toys popularity and the demand for them decreased as Ty increased the production and distribution outlets for them.

Even though the Beanies arent as popular as they used to be, children still love them. It is hard to find a quality stuffed toy that sells for about five dollars that brings so much joy to people.
