Products I love

I decided to create a separate page with the products and services that I recommend. There are too many choices when it comes to photography related products and services. Over the years I have used many of these products and I can only recommend a few. What you find on this page are products and services that I recommend. All these products and services are backed by companies that have outstanding reputation and customer service.

Every time you purchase a product through any of these links, you are helping me to keep this site going. I get a small referral fee from these companies. This does not affect the price you pay in any way shape or form. In fact, I am pretty sure you’ll get the best price anywhere by buying them using my links for your purchases.

  • Extreme Thumbnail Generator. I have tested many photo gallery generators but this one is by far the most flexible program. What do I mean by flexible? Well, not only that you have quite a few themes already provided out of the box, but you can also change any theme and create a new theme. The greatest thing however is the ability to insert image meta data anywhere in the gallery: on thumbnail pages, on image pages, in the header, in the footer, in the “alt” tag….pretty much anywhere. Checkout Extreme Thumbnail Generator. If you want to check out an example take a look at the my photo gallery of Santa Barbara Zoo.
