Hey everyone I regret to inform you all that this will be my very last blog posting. As this class draws to a close I've learned so much about social media advertising. Mainly that if you are to be successful you should schedule your posts to be on a weekly time that is consistent. Other then that posting for me wasn't very difficult. I can usually come up with creative ideas for posts relatively easily. I am also able to be flexible in what I tend to post about my business but yet it still relates to my Photography.
Ive learned that twitter just isn't for me, with how limited your post size is for me it isn't practical. Facebook on the other side offers the best of the other 3 social media options. It allows for me to do long and short posts as well as share images. Not to say that posting on 3 different social media platforms is bad because it isn't. But it would be nice if Facebook was the be all and end all of social media advertising but that just isn't the case.
I did however enjoy using YouTube in this course and making the commercial was very fun for me. I believe the future of social media will remain multi media with images, audio, and video. So in the future for this class that might be something to add for future students to do more of. I however also believe that with my background in photography and videography I have a slight bias towards how easy the commercial was to make. Anyways signing off for the last time this is Jake with Jake Jubie Sports Photography keep the shutters clicking and those images printing.

Sports Photography Essentials
The tools that a sports photographers use are crucial in allowing them to capture dynamic action packed photos. As well as making this increasingly easier due to newer technologies and digital photography. In this posting to day i will give you my list of essential gear for general sports photography and how i use the gear to capture professional images.
First the camera is a very important part of sports photography as such it is essential to use a top tier model. I currently use the Canon 1dx which takes photos at a rate of 12 images per second allowing me to do sequenced images easily. It also allows photos to be taken in extremely low light. For every photographer it is important to have a backup thus i carry 3 of these professional camera. I use one remotely on a tripod for just extra shots that may be useful. The other two will always have a lens on it during a sporting event to limit the amount of time i am switching lenses, this allows me to focus more on taking photos.
Secondly the lenses are also very important in photography because they greatly impact how your photo will look. I currently use 6 main lenses for my sports photography from the wide angle all the way up to super telephoto. At the wide end i have the brand new and very expensive canon 11-24mm f4 this lens allows me to get the super wide angle of the action making you feel like your right in the middle of it. The second lens i use is a 24-70mm f2.8 tamron lens this is my most versatile lens for indoor sports where i can get very close to the action like in swimming and basketball. Next up is the canon 70-200mm f2.8 lens that i use in a photojournalistic style to isolate my subjects and maintain my distance. I use this for most indoor and many outdoor sports. The last three lenses should only be bought and used if you make money doing photography. First i have the 300mm f2.8 lens from canon this lens is very big and great for sports like hockey or track. Secondly i use the canon 400mm f2.8 lens this allows me to get a little closer then the 300 but at a great increase in weight and size. This is good for sports such as soccer and football. Lastly i use the canon 600mm f4 this i will be using at the next olympic games where i will most likely be very far away from the action. With all of these larger lenses i use a monopod to hold them up as they are far to heavy to hold in my hands all day. Thanks for checking out my list of essentials for professional sports photography stay tuned for more information on my Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Breast cancer awareness month is an international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities every October to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into it cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure. The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer. Breast cancer affects about one in eight women over the course of lifetime in the U.S. that's about 12%. From an you asked breast cancer death rates are higher than rates for any other cancer, besides lung cancer. Around 85% of breast cancers occur in women who have no family history of breast cancer. Most often it is due to genetic mutations that happen as result of aging.
It is during this time of year of my business flourishes due to NFL, NHL, and NBA events.

Why choose Jake Jubie Sports Photography?
What makes a professional photographer?
A professional is more then someone with a nice digital/film camera. It's more then just owning a good looking website. I ask that you consider the following before selecting a professional photographer.
1. Experience: From JJSP you will get a less rushed photo taking experience. On our one on one sport sessions you will get 1-2 hours of time with an experienced photographer. Someone who knows how to shoot a wide range of sports from Football to Diving, and Snowboarding to Downhill biking.
2. Technology: You will get images that are professionally edited and posted on a professionally made website. On that website you will be able to order images from your own password protected gallery. Among these images all will be printed at the highest quality printing facilities in Paris France.
3. Dependability: I use professional grade cameras and lenses that are built for a professional environment and designed to put up with abuse. This is yet another reason for choosing a professional photographer is that our equipment is designed to not fail. All professionals are able to remain calm under pressure allowing us to creatively react to many situations. Dependability is important from the time you first meet to the moment of image delivery.
