REMIND ME!

Father’s Day is 2 days away and you haven’t gotten a thing…  Relax!  Ritz Camera & Image is home of Expert, Personal, Friendly & FAST service.  You can even order many photo products ON Father’s Day and pick them up just in time for Dad.

Show Dad all the photo memories you have shared throughout the year with a photo calendar.  Each month will be a reminder of how much Dad is loved.  The best part about getting him a calendar on Father’s Day, is that you can start your calendar in June.  Next June when his calendar is about through with its cycle, it will be time to get him another one, which would make another great Father’s Day gift.  Start a tradition each year!

Ritz Camera offers many great photo books in 1 Hour.  Gather your favorite photos of Dad and the family and put together a memory book everyone can enjoy.  Remember the time Dad burned the ribs at the family cookout?  What about the big fish he brought home from his annual fishing trip?  Relive each moment again and again.  Photo Books make your memories and emotions come to life.  Watch Dad smile as he and glow as he flips through each page.  Photo Books truly are a personal gift anyone would enjoy.

Many other products are available in 1 Hour, so you have many choices.  Build a Photo Collage, or print a photo enlargement and let our trained lab associates mount and laminate your enlargement for full display.

Having a hard time finding photos to use for a gift?  Maybe Dad needs a new camera?  Come in to any of our store locations nationwide and see a sales associate.  We can help you find the best camera for Dad.  Make the gift even more special by giving him a photo patrol session to accompany his new camera.  Our knowledgeable consultants will meet him on his terms and show him all the bells and whistles of his new camera so Dad won’t miss a shot again.

Attention Country Music Fans!

The 40th Annual CMT Festival is underway here in Music City, Nashville, TN.

The City of Nashville has converted the city to All the Country Music Stars and Fans walking the street.  Great Music, Great Food and Great Photo Opportunities.  Here are some tips on taking care of your camera and your pictures during the extreme heat and humidity.

Digital Cameras DO NOT like extreme heat or water.  The next four days are going to be hot and humid.  Here are some tips for making your trip and enjoyable one.  While making sure your memories of this event is captured.

1. Make sure you have a decent camera bag.   Your camera bag will be the best investment for the heat.  Going to a humid atmosphere, put a desiccants moisture control in your bag.   When your not taking pictures put your camera back in its bag.
2. Carry a Ziploc baggy with you.  Going through cool centers with light mist just put your camera in the baggy and go through the ceter.
3. A light color towel to put over your camera when your not capturing the moment.  The towel will keep the camera from the direct sunlight.  Do not use a dark color because it draws the heat.
4. A UV filter to filter out the direct sunlight.
5. DO NOT leave your camera in a hot car.   Take your camera with you.
6. DO NOT let the camera set in the blazing sun.  Your camera could overheat.

Family and Friends would love to see your pictures.   Why wait til you get home.   Stop by any of the 7 Wolf Camera locations in Nashville.

Upload your photos to facebook and put your memories in a custom CMT  Festival 2011 photo book that you have designed.
