Default Just something I thought I would share.

Well, I got some pretty awesome news today, That I was mentioned on the Daymen site (The guys behind Espon, Lowepro, Pelican, ect ect.) DayMen Photo Marketing - Customer Stories about a story I linked them to on my site about me switching my company over to mainly using Lowepro bags.

The original story from my site:

Are we Affiliated with the makers of Lowepro? NO! I am just here to say that High Impact Imagery is now all switching over to Lowepro Bags to ensure the protection of our gear. Why is this?

While on a mountain bike outing one day we were riding pretty hard through the trails, All the sudden my front wheel stopped dead in its tracks. I instinctively I turned the wheel to the right to attempt to turn off the path so I wouldn't cause a collision with the other bikers. My rim bent in half and all the sudden I was flying through the air, The first thought that flashed through my mind was the fact that I had been the designated photographer of the day, Strapped to my back was my trusty Lowepro Slingshot 200 AW. I landed straight on it, For about 5 minutes I laid there on the ground, Wind knocked out of me, I looked over at my bike and slowly realized that most of the gear in my bag was probably totalled. I unstrapped my bag and got up to walk off the crash, Not wanting to believe that I needed to replace my camera gear. One of my friends bent down to inspect the damage off my gear, He opened up the bag and called me over with a smile spread across his face, Not a single piece of my gear was even slightly damaged.


Cost of Replacing my Rim = $100
Cost of Replacing my Helmet = $150
Cost of NOT Replacing thousands of dollars worth of camera gear? $75.

Thanks Lowepro for making such high quality photography bags!!

Now, Because of this, I would personally reccomend lowepro bags to ANYONE looking for a new bag *Please Note: I am NOT affiliated with Daymen* I am just excited, and thought I would share.

A little html will sort your image....

For example - If you were trying to make this image smaller, you would use the following code...

First you have your URL to the image...

http://www.highimpactimagery.com/pho...vent%20173.JPG

Then you need to tell the forum that you're inserting an image and that's done by opening a tag

Then you specify the image "the url goes here"

Then you tell it how wide it's allowed to be width="700"

Then you close the tag width="700">

and you get this...



Nice light, by the way :-)
