After making the decision to schedule your boudoir photography session it's time to start preparing. Here are a few tips to ensure you get the best boudoir portraits.

1. Makeup

It is strongly recommended to hire a professional makeup artist. It will add to the overall cost of the boudoir portraits but will be well worth it in the long run. You may find that some boudoir photographers include a professional makeup artist in your boudoir package. And others photographers will be able refer you to a makeup artist.

Remember to allow at least 30 – 45 minutes if you're having your make up applied or an hour and a half if you are having your hair styled as well.

If you choose to do your makeup yourself here are a couple of pointers:

- Eye makeup and blush should be fairly heavily applied. Try and be neat and precise. Boudoir photography tends to be unforgiving.
- Don't use frosted lipstick! It appears too light in photographs.
- Keep eye shadow a shade lighter than normal to accentuate your eyes.
- Lipstick should be at least a shade deeper, particularly if you have dark hair or are going to wear dark clothing.
- Use powder based make-up to maintain a matte finish on your skin.

Clothing and Props

Boudoir, or erotic photography, is often associated with nudity or lingerie. As a matter of fact, a lot of men find their wives dressed as it's also known in their gear to be more attractive than dressing in lingerie. Naturally you should to stick with something you are comfortable with.

The choice of props and clothing for your boudoir portraits are literally endless. Some interesting possibilities are:

His favorite sports team jersey, some tools of his trade, his uniform or a favorite button down shirt. Or maybe something a little more classy like a slinky cocktail dress, a fur coat, a blouse, gloves and hats and of course the old favorites stockings and high heels.

Perhaps sexy choices like a bodystocking, colorful panties and bra, boy shorts, way too tight cut-offs – actually anything tight and anything transparent! If you have any tasteful photographic nudes you want to copy, bring the photos along. Non traditional items are also very effective for boudoir photography.

Some goodies are a bath robe or towel, tight shorts, biker shorts, tight or short tank tops, tees with rips or holes, anything leather, scarves, mini skirts, your slumming at home outfit, boxer shorts, the tools of your trade, workout outfit, cowboy boots and hat, and anything he has given you.

Some great ideas for boudoir portrait props include most home or romantic items, flowers, sun glasses, scarves, beads, wine glasses or teddy bears. Try and consider your choice of these items from his perspective. This is a gift for him after all. Don't be afraid to be daring and creative.

When thinking boudoir, don't forget about the details, check for labels on new items and look out for tears or holes, unless you want them there, of course!

Boudoir photography takes a bit of planning and time. So consider these other tips for your big day.

Relax.

Have something light to eat before the shoot and try and have a bottle of water or juice handy. If you feel a little nervous, ask your sister or girlfriend to sit in with you. You could even split the session with them!

Manage your time.

There is nothing that ruins the atmosphere of boudoir photography quicker than being stressed. Leave yourself enough time to have your hair and makeup done and to get home in good time to complete any last minute errands.

Try to wear loose fitting clothes that don't leave marks.

These take awhile to clear and can waste valuable time. Button up shirts will leave your makeup and hair intact and clear deodorants allow for a larger range of the poses that make for great boudoir portraits.

For His Eyes Only

Taking boudoir portraits is a great gift for the man in your life, it's for his eyes only. And just remember, boudoir photography is erotic, glamor, and naughty all rolled up into one…have fun!

In a move that further intensified the competition in the free online photo storage arena, Google revealed on Tuesday that its photo storage site Picasa will henceforth boast integration with Picnik – the online photo-editing tool which was acquired by Google this March.

As a result of Picasa’s integration with Picnik – the move which apparently is one of the gradual rollouts by Google -, a small edit button will become available for the users of Picasa, in the top left corner of the photos.

The clicking of this edit button will pop up a version of the image on a new window that will unveil several photo-editing options – simple as well as advanced. The simple photo-editing option will allow users to rotate, crop or resize an image, to alter its shape.

In addition, the Picasa site will also offer tools for altering the color and the exposure of an image.

Meanwhile, a number of advanced edit options – which are fairly akin to the desktop photo-editing application, including Abode Photoshop – can be accessed via a “Create” tab.

Though the Picasa-Picnik integration will likely bring Google on par with other image-based storage Web sites, especially in terms of online editing, Picasa still happens to be a lesser used app as compared to Yahoo’s Flickr photo storage site, which features among the top 50 trafficked Web sites online.

I taken Images in the last days – please tell me if you like them:

Fliegende Fische bei Labbé – Kinderbastelladen in Köln by Labbé Verlag

Like Father, Like Son. That's the title of the latest 20-track offering from the New Orleans-bred rap alliance called the Cash Money Millionaires. The group was co-founded by 37-year-old Bryan “Baby” Williams, who also goes by other multiple aliases, including “The Birdman” and “#1 Stunna”.

The actual “baby” of the Cash Money conglomerate is a guy named Lil' Wayne, who, at 24 years old, was the youngest member of the Louisiana-based label. Lil' Wayne (nee: Dwayne Michael Carter) came into much prominence in his own right as an artist, and has been credited with possessing an excellent lyrical cadence that has driven his record sales well into the millions.

But their rhyming skills aren't what has landed Lil Wayne – who also goes by the monikers of “Birdman, Jr.”, “Weezy F. Baby”, “Weezy (something unprintable) Baby” or “Tha Carter” – and the real Baby Baby on the tongues of multiple hip-hop heads as of late.

What has set the email boxes abuzz is a photograph of Lil' Wayne and Baby planting a kiss smack dab on one another's lips. Immediately, the machismo-filled world of hardened rappers and wannabe rhymers explained away the image as something doctored or Photoshoped, reasoning that manly heroes like Lil' Wayne and Baby would never attempt such a move.

Yet recently, Baby finally addressed the firestorm of controversy in an interview with DJ Uptown Angela on Q93, a Clear Channel station in New Orleans, and admitted that the photo only expressed the real father/son relationship that exists between Baby and Lil' Wayne.

“Before I had a child, Wayne and all of them were my children, you heard me?” Baby said, using the same colloquialisms often spouted by other New Orleans native sons like Master P and Juvenile.

“Wayne to me is my son – my first-born son – and that's what it do for me,” Baby told Uptown Angela. “That's my life, that's my love and that's my thing. That's my lil' son. I love him to death.”

Others question whether or not the photo of Lil Wayne kissing baby is a fake move to drive up the controversy quotient for the “Like Father, Like Son” album, or if the photo surfaced from a former Cash Money brother-turned-rival “Gillie The Kid”, who has reportedly taken credit for the release of the much circulated pic.

“Haters – that's just life. I don't even trip off that,” Baby surmised about all the backlash. “I go to the bank in the morning. I can go buy whatever I feel like. So, I don't even set trip off that,” Baby said. “Can't nobody live my life, but me and I don't try to live nobody else's life.”

IDF continues to track Iranian ships en route to Gaza.

While the IDF continued Wednesday to track the Iranian ships en route to the Gaza Strip, the Navy was put on high alert amid fears that another flotilla would be launched from Lebanon, leaving – due to the short distance – little time to stop it.

A cargo ship left Iran earlier this week and is expected to try and break the Israeli-imposed siege on Gaza as early as the weekend.

Another ship is scheduled to join at the beginning of next week. The IDF is closely tracking the ships but is particularly concerned about the possibility that a number of ships will set sail from Lebanon, possibly even with Hizbullah operatives aboard.

“There is not a lot of time to stop fast ships that come from Lebanon,” an IDF officer explained, “Practically, it means that the Navy has to be on high alert around the clock.”

The Navy will likely first try to stop the ships by calling on them to stop at sea and far from the Gaza coast.

This worked successfully during Operation Cast Lead when an Iranian ship tried breaking the siege but was turned back by the Navy without boarding. If this fails, the Navy has prepared Flotilla 13, known as the Shayetet, to head up an operation like it did two weeks ago in stopping the international aid flotilla from Turkey.

Meanwhile, Bulent Yildirim, head of the Turkish organization IHH which was behind the last flotilla stopped by Israel, announced on Wednesday that his organization would send six more ships to Gaza in July. He said that the family members of the nine Turks killed on board the Mavi Marmara passenger ship have requested to join the next IHH flotilla.

Also Wednesday, the International Red Cross distanced itself from the Iranian flotilla, which is reportedly being organized by the Iranian Red Crescent. The Iranian boats, the ICRC said, were from the International Red Crescent, which is a different organization.

First off let me apologize for the photo quality. I only had a few short minutes to spend the Streak and it happened to be in a dark room that looked like Batman decorated it. So the photos aren’t the best, but this is just a taste. We’ll have a proper set soon.

Anyway, I happened to have an EVO 4G with me and I must say that the Dell Streak makes it look like normal-sized phone. There is a large difference in the overall size even though the screen size is only .7-inches larger. It’s as thin as the Evo, but it still feels a bit too large to be a phone. However, that thought might be premature as it might be something you need to use to appreciate. The whole package feels solid, refined and wonderful. It’s clearly not for everyone given its large size, but a lot of people will probably love it.

I have taken some Photos in the last weeks – please tell me when you like them:

Hong Island, near Krabi, Thailand by _Zinni_

One might ask what photography is. What is the purpose of taking a photograph? For some, just a simple snap shot will do but, for others, there is more of a destiny to experience in the photograph. Photography captures a split second in time or, simply put, a moment captured in a blink of an eye. Photographers create illusions of realism which resembles the existent world with content and form that are inseparable. In effect, the photographer has generated a story all their own. 

Photography is made from anything perceived. Seeing is believing when the moment is captured on film regardless of the subject matter. No matter how many pictures are taken of the same subject by different individuals, the photographs will never be the same “style” because the subject is in the eye of the beholder. For example, you may like that shiny red 57’ Chevy in the front of the coffee shop, so you take a photograph. Your friend loves the seat in front of the coffee shop window with the reflection of the 57’ Chevy in the glass. There are two distinctly separate shots of the same subject but, emotionally, they are very different images. No two artists are identical and different viewers will never see the same photograph in the same manner. Photographs generate a mood that creates an emotion and they can be background or landscapes or nothing but a mere rust spot with texture. 

Photography not only captures that instantaneous moment in time but also captures a visual reality. Photography, when it was first invented, was used to represent the world accurately with little room or depiction of artistic ability. Thus, the photographer could have been anyone in the crowd, and that person brought forth the way things looked at the time—showing the world what is to be perceived. 

This is not the ways of photography in the 20th century. Photography is now a truly unique art form, and a photograph can hold two and three dimensional space, as well as a one point perspective. Photography gives us the opportunity for aestheticism our everyday world. Our attention is focused on what we would normally dismiss our attention focuses on seeing beyond the believable giving a visual sensation to our minds. A photograph can be captured in one-sixtieth of a second by the shutters of the camera. In effect, art happens in the “blink of an eye”. 

Since Kodak introduced the first hand held camera in 1888, giving photography a new mission and meaning, the world has never been the same. However, the technological advances have affected photography. It has strengthened the use of a camera and allowed the photographer far more precise subjective perceptions of the subject matter. According the book The World of Art, Life Magazine started publication in 1936, and American photography used photography as their tool of disclosure. “Pictures can be beautiful, but must tell facts too,” reveals the text. Photographers must include real life recognition with lines and rhythms of the surface because, without this, the photograph would be unresponsive. As an interesting insight, a horizontal photograph is peaceful; a photograph with less foreground brings dramatization and a photograph with more foreground shows nature connected with unity. 

Photography is different than other art medium, yet the classical compositions brought together by the artists of yesteryears are still used. Photography has many techniques and art forms that differ greatly. For instance, there is black and white photography that the photographer can develop easily in even a small amount of space. According to photographer and Professor of Art Mike Wonser, a dark room can be set up in a bathroom. The light must be blocked out, but the photographs can be developed in the bath tub! So, you do not need much space to work and it is magic to watch the photograph appear. Another simple technique was shared by George Jolokai. He stated “a photographer can carry a bottle of water to add shininess or reflections on the subject matter”. The magic of photography is endless. 

Another tool used in photography is the use of slow or fast shutter speeds. Slow shutter speeds can blur water, but the use of slow shutter speeds requires a tri-pod to prevent blurring the entire photograph. The water will blur because water is in constant motion but the background or other subject matter in the photograph remains still. 

Another form of photography is that of color photography. Color brings depth and musical rhythm and is a very powerful tool to the human senses. Color photography creates a complex interplay between form and content that can create dynamic color contrasts. The photograph process takes time because critical technical decisions must come from the photographer before the release of shutter that results in the capturing of an essence of time and mood on film. 

The basic elements of style, composition, and technique are the photographer’s tools for structure; it is the photographer’s imagination that leaves an impression embedded the minds of the viewer.

Best New Tech Gadgets for 2009

02 Jun

womvnamea |  June 2nd,2010 | Uncategorized |  No Comments »

Compaq 615 39 kaufen

Every year, technology changes and new tech gadgets are introduced to the public. Despite the economic downturn of 2008, consumers can expect to see innovations for all of their personal technological needs in 2009, from cell phones to laptop computers. Solid state technology will be used to create lighter, quieter tech gadgets with more memory capability in the coming year. Below is a list of some of the places this technology appears.

The Flip Mino HD Camcorder is one of the places where this new technology shows up. Considered the smallest camcorder, this pocketsize tech gadget holds up to 60 minutes of footage and even displays in widescreen. It boasts high resolution video with no glare and crisp sound. This devise can even be designed according to consumers' wishes. In order to learn about the different features that the camcorder offers and find out where this device can be obtained both online and in stores, visit the Flip Mino's official website at http://www.theflip.com/index_flip.shtml.

The Canon VIXIA HF11 video camera is another device offering new technological advances. Like the Flip Mino, it is smaller than the standard video camera and fits in the palm of the hand, making it lighter and easier to carry around. The VIXIA HF11 records in high definition, and a tape, DV-R, or hard drive is not needed to use this product. Instead, the camera uses SD memory cards and can record up to three hours of footage. It is still pretty expensive at $800. However, individuals interested in this high tech gadget can purchase it at Amazon.com.

Cell phones will also be lighter and have more memory in 2009. Nokia N97 phone has build-in GPS sensors and complete Internet access. This flat phone is an all-purpose device, with the ability to automatically update social networks. Users of this tech gadget will be able to chat, blog, and send and receive e-mails on their phone. This phone is also a music device, so consumers won't need an additional gadget like an IPod. Camera and recording technology on this phone will also be better. No longer will individuals have to put up with blurry images common with many cell phones. Their pictures and video are high resolution and can be stored in the memory of the phone. The Nokia N97 and other cell phones can be purchased at Amazon.com.

The ASUS EEE PC 100H is the latest in the latest in mini notebooks. It has many of the same features as other notebooks. Two key differences between this tech gadget and its predecessors are that it has a larger screen, 10 inches, and the keyboard is more spacious. These amenities give it an advantage over other notebooks. Users can place two windows side by side on the wider screen. This is especially useful if an individual has a job comparing two document. There is nothing more annoying than having to minimize and maximize window all the time. Another aspect of the new notebook is the stereo sound it produces. The downside of the ASUS EEE PC 100H is that it is at $200 more than other notebooks. Amazon.com offers a few bargains for this product.

The Laptop OX is not only a technological innovation in 2009, but it is a way to be charitable as well. This computer is the most versatile of any previous laptop and specifically built with education in mind. The technology industry and academics worked together to design this computer to be adaptable to extreme environments. Anyone who has a laptop knows that most of them require a cool area to work properly. This tech gadget, however, will work properly in hot and humid temperatures and in direct sunlight. It has built-in wireless, giving it the ability to work anywhere. Plus, for every Laptop OX purchased on Amazon.com, an additional computer will sent to a child from a developing country.

The basic trend in 2009 will be lighter tech gadgets with more memory and the ability to adapt to almost any circumstances. Additionally, although many of them still have a large price tag, most of the prices for everything from cell phones to computers are expected to fall as the year progresses. Like most devices, it is better to buy them later in the year than to buy them when they are hot off the assembly line.

I made some Fotos in the last months – please tell me if you think they are good:

From here

With so many people carrying phones with them almost everywhere, and with these phones having better and better cameras, and with these phones having the ability to run applications that use these cameras, Mobile Phone Photography is a genre worth recognizing.

(I’m mainly going to touch on iPhone related stuff, but other platforms have their own apps and features.)

The iPhone camera is simple as heck, you launch it, you frame your shot on the screen, and you push a button. It’s probably the simplest camera you’ve ever used, and with good reason. There are numerous iPhone apps that allow you to use the camera to take a photo and immediately upload it to some online service such as Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, etc. I’m not going to cover every iPhone photo app out there, but I’m just going to outline a few of the apps I’ve used on the iPhone.

Best Camera from well-known photographer Chase Jarvis is a step-up from the basic camera app with a set of effects you can apply to your photos. You can shoot the photo directly in Best Camera (or open a photo from the library on your phone) and apply a number of effects and then choose to just save it or email it, or upload it to Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, or thebestcamera,com.The upload feature is simple to use, and I like it so much I often use it even when I’ve take a photo and modified it with other applications. Best Camera also lets you view images other have uploaded to the site. (Best Camera is $2.99 at the App Store.)

Hipstamatic is, well, how do I describe it… it’s like an old-timey 1970’s cheap plastic camera that turns your iPhone into a toy. Sort of. I first heard about this app when a co-worker mentioned she knew the guys behind it. If you’re a design-nerd, there’s a lot to love about this one… and if you’re just interested in an interesting camera experience, you’ll find that too. Hipstamatic is this “virtual camera” which hints at a future where more and more of the camera will be customized using software. I’ve heard the guys on TWIP talk about this idea of “a camera with a sensor and a lens mount, where everything interesting happens in software, possibly from 3rd parties” and this is like an early view of that. Hipstamatic also features the ability to swap (virtual) lenses, film, and flashes, which, when combined, create unique images. (Hipstamatic also features the ability to buy more lenses and accessories directly in the application, which is brilliant from a software developers point-of-view.) One annoyance about Hipstamatic is that you can’t open an existing image taken with other camera apps and apply effects to them, it’s sort of an all-inclusive affair where you take the photo in Hipstamatic and you process it there. (To the developer’s credit, I think this is intentional, but it annoys me.) Also, like many of these apps on the iPhone, it can’t easily work with the full resolution image, but often uses a scaled-down version, due to memory constraints and what not. (These are things that should go away in the future, as hardware/software advances.) Hipstamatic also has a community, and contests, and if you really want to get into, well, you can really get into it. See? Here’s a cat photo I took. (Hipstamatic is $1.99 at the App Store. Base-price, without additional accessories.)

Photoshop.com Mobile is a great little free app that lets you do minor edits (contrast, saturation, crop, straighten, etc.) and apply effects to your images, and save them to Adobe’s Photoshop.com web site. Personally I really don’t care about the Photoshop.com web site, but Photoshop.com Mobile is a free app with a few nice features, so if you want to install it and try it out, it’s pretty painless. (Photoshop.com Mobile is FREE at the App Store.)

Plastic Bullet is a great new app from Red Giant Software that lets you take a photo, or select one from your library, and apply effects. Again, we’re going after that “plastic toy camera” idea that is all the rage (See Hipstamatic above.) Plastic Bullet is simple, simple, simple. It shows you 4 completely random variations of your original image, and then you can either choose one, or generate 4 new ones. It’s never the same twice, so if you see one you like, save it! Stu Maschwitz is the main guy behind Plastic Bullet, and while it doesn’t do all the fancy uploading and sharing stuff, there’s a Flickr Group, and maybe keeping it simple like that is good enough. (Plastic Bullet is $1.99 at the App Store.)

I hope you’ve enjoyed this quick look at Mobile Phone Photography on the iPhone. It’s an interesting future, and I’ve got a few follow-up posts planned, so stay tuned!

I know I haven’t exactly gotten the hang of basic photography but I cannot help but admire spectacular lightning photography images from the photography sites that I frequent. I used to love daytime photography, where exposure settings are easier to figure out. But it really is an inconvenience for me. Here’s one of my favorites from LightningPhotography.com -

I don’t love the sun so much. I’d rather really stay indoors and that’s where I do most of my daytime photography in. Outdoor shootings will have to be done when the UVR aren’t very active. Even supposedly vitamins from sun isn’t even as reliable anymore. I am hoping to finally get to have the time to learn more about the basics of photography and maybe work on experimentations on lightning photography, for one.

  • First, you must know that I'm a lover of words and stories at heart. These days, I prefer to use a camera to share them.

    My hope:

    Is that my sessions are filled with lucky shots that are no accident;
    That I am not merely an observer, but a narrator;
    and a craftsman that is masterful at fostering conditions that allow for real moments to unfold.

    Anyone with an eye for composition and light can document life as it happens. I firmly believe it takes something more to dig beneath the surface–to evolve into a photographer who is more than a picture taker, but a picture maker.

    There is a moment of extraordinary that can be extracted from every 10 minutes of ordinary. Capturing it is not about point of view, equipment or framing. Instead, it stems from connection: connection to who the photographer is as an artist, and most importantly, connection to the people being photographed.

    What does love look like? Exhilaration? Exasperation? How did she gently twist your hair around her fingers when she was three? And, what did it feel like the day you first held his tiny hands in yours?

    I aspire for my photographs help to tell the stories. Theirs. Mine. Yours too…

FIFA World Cup Stadium Berlin by Frankinho

Borussia Dortmund Trikots

Throughout the years of apartheid soccer gave the people of South Africa hope and a since of excitement when there was little to be excited about. Soccer withstood apartheid,

With the first non-white soccer association being formed in 1903 (SA Indian Football Association) the SA Bantu Football Association was formed in 1933 and the SA Colored Football Association in 1936. After official Apartheid laws went into effect in 1948 these teams were denied funding and facilities yet they continued to play amongst themselves. On December 8, 1991 (following the fall of apartheid in 1990) the South African Football Association was formed on non-racial principles.

Soccer is the most popular sport in South Africa with a victory for a national team considered a victory for the country.

Nigeria will have the crowds behind them in the 2010 FIFA World Cup held in South Africa, but they won’t bring the same level of talent to the field that made them Africa’s best World Cup contender in the 1990’s. Gone are the likes of Jay-Jay Okocha and Sunday Oliseh from their best years, but that doesn’t mean the Nigerians can’t make some noise in this year’s finals. Check out our 2010 World Cup odds to see which teams Sportsbook.com is thinking has the best chance of winning it all. If you have your team picked, then take your guess over to this trusted book and get your hands on a $100 deposit bonus today!

If you want to bet Nigeria at +10000, a $100 wager would win you $10,000 if they were to take down the gold trophy in South Africa. The Super Eagles are in Group B along with Argentina (+750), Greece (+15000) and South Korea (+20000). They play the favorites in Argentina on June 12th, Greece on June 17th and South Korea on June 22nd.

Of being in this group, boss Lars Lagarback said “We know that we will have a tough job at the World Cup. We are up against some tough teams like Argentina, with top players like Lionel Messi. It’s important for us to prove that we can play our own game against the best.”

The team had great success qualifying for this World Cup, but after a third-place finish at the 2010 CAF Africa Cup of Nations in Angola, former boss Shaibu Amodu was fired. The new boss is Lagerback, who replaced Amodu in February. He has plenty of big-game experience under his belt, taking Sweden to the knockout stages of the 2002 and ‘06 World Cups. The 61-year-old coach is Nigeria’s 23rd different boss.

Nigeria’s history at the finals features three straight World Cup appearances from their debut in 1994 all the way through 2002. They made it to the second round in both ‘94 and ‘98 before being knocked out in group play in ‘02. In all, they have played 11 matches at the finals, winning 4, drawing 1 and losing 6 times.

In qualifying, Nigeria breezed through their first round with 6 wins in 6 matches and 11 goals for and only 1 against. But they struggled in their final qualifying round, winning 3 and drawing 3 matches. Draws against Tunisia home and away and a draw against Mozambique nearly squashed their dreams of making the 2010 World Cup field. But Victor Obinna delivered a game-winner in the 93rd-minute in their next to last game against Mozambique, which kept their hopes alive. Mozambique then shocked the world with a win over group leader Tunisia in the final match, and Nigeria had to come from behind to beat Kenya 3-2 to overcome the odds to reach the finals for a fourth time.

A few players to watch for Nigeria are strikers Peter Utaka and Obafemi Martins up front. Setting up these two will be midfielder Jon Mikel Obi, who is just recently fit to play after having knee surgery. Youngsters Victory Obinna, Nwankwo Kanu and Ikechukwu Uche will figure into the mix, and skipper Joseph Yobo is a magnet on defense to carry the backline. Martins scored the equalizer and the game winner against Kenya which allowed the Nigerians to even make this field of 32. Though many feel this team is much less talented than Nigerian teams from year’s past, they could certainly be a dark horse in this field if boss Lagerback can get them firing on all cylinders come June 12th.

Ultra Slow HP Notebook Computer by edhiker

This article is written on a Toshiba laptop computer I bought for just £25 (approx $49) over two years ago! OK it's not the best laptop you can buy but it's certainly no piece of junk either. 80Gb hard drive, USB 2.0 connections, 15 inch widescreen, Intel processor etc. Most importantly it hasn't let me down in over two years. So where did I find such a bargain?

Simple – by searching the online auctions. But not as you might think by spending hours and days wading through endless eBay listings. I used this website page to do all the hard work for me.

NetStoreSearch is an online directory where thousands of online sellers shops hosted at eBay, Tazbar, Oztion, eCrater etc. have listed their addresses. But at the top of each page they have the bargain laptop link I have highlighted.

By clever manipulation of the search criteria I find they have successfully weeded out all the annoying listings that a regular eBay search throws up. The page does take a few seconds to load up but once done I can look at a simple two panel display of the laptops that interest me. One panel features UK listings under £50 and the other laptops in the US selling for $99 or less.

As my last purchase is now more than two years ago I've again started checking this page once a day aiming to pick up a similar bargain and today I though I would share the page here.

My advice is to visit the page regularly and keep bidding on suitable machines until you get one at the right price. There's no point getting involved in any bidding war – if it aint a bargain let someone else buy it!

Now if I can just get enough views of this article it might just pay for my next bargain laptop!
