Diecast Model Cars - Successfully Photographing Your Collection

0 comments

Let us imagine you just obtained a diecast model car that you have been longing for. What do you do? Isn't it obvious? You let everyone who shares your passion know of your recent acquisition. What would be the best way to do this? With an amazing, clear, up close photograph, of course. But wait, how do you accomplish this? Macro photography or more simply put, close-up photography. If you follow the simple steps laid out in this article, you too can have photographs that others will envy.

We will start with the most important part of the photograph, the subject. In this scenario, we'll say it is a Franklin diecast model car. You want to make sure that the diecast car takes up as much of the frame as possible. If you don't get the shot tight enough, you will just have another picture of a car, and what is to envy about that? You also want to make sure you don't get too tight or you will end up with a great picture of the door. We are taking a picture of the whole diecast model car, right!?

Next, let us focus on the background. You want this Franklin diecast model car to stand out. Do not fill the background with other cars from your collection or anything else that will take away from the star of the photograph - the diecast model car. You will also need to have a backdrop of some kind. Grey works best and generally, you should use either a cloth backdrop or a poster board with a slight bend in it.

The third key element is lighting. You need to make sure you diffuse your light source so as to make certain your Franklin diecast car is not washed out. Nothing is worse than a great picture of a model car that is either faded in the photograph or barely visible in the gleaming light. Clean, clear, white light is also an important factor in macro photography. It allows for the truest colour of the diecast model car to shine through in your photograph.

Finally, and some may say most important, is the equipment. A quality camera with a good zoom is essential. Next, there are two options. First, you may use an additional lens of any type and an extension tube. The further the space between the lens and the film, the more magnification you will get. A lens with a longer focal length paired with a long extension tube will get the magnification you will need. The other option is getting a special macro lens. These lenses have the ability to focus out to infinity and yet get extremely close photographs of the subject without use of a separate extension tube.

To conclude, if you do obtain the Franklin diecast car of my, I mean your dreams; take an amazing picture of it. Make sure the car is the star. Do not let the background take anything away from it. Remember that lighting is an important issue in macro photography, and invest in quality equipment. It will make your photograph a real work of art, just like the diecast model cars. Present your dream car correctly and you will achieve car envy.

Bringing physician medication dispensing into your practice is a good decision. The time and money saved on pharmacy callbacks alone will pay for the dispensary system itself within a few months, not to mention the extra income from selling the prescriptions at the point of care.

However, it requires more than just a software installation to truly make a dispensary an integral and successful part of a practice. Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you get started with physician medication dispensing.

1) Hire an experienced pharmacy technician.

Although typically extra staff is not necessary, it would benefit the practice to have somebody with prescription drug experience and the prescription insurance knowledge. If somebody without this knowledge is manning your physician dispensing system, they need to learn about the prescription drug industry and insurance in addition to the dispensing system. For some people, this is an information overload, and can make the venture unsuccessful.

2) Make sure the entire staff is on board with the idea.

In order for a physician medication dispensing system to succeed, the entire staff needs to get behind the idea. They should all be encouraging patients to use the service. This step is crucial to physician dispensing taking hold in a practice. For more information about physician leadership in regards to physician dispensing, see this article.

3) Select a centralized location for the dispensary.

Don't put the dispensary in a corner somewhere, hidden behind a ficus and a shelf of magazines. In order to make it efficient and keep it at the forefront of patients' minds, the dispensary should be in a centralized location that's easily accessible by patients. Somewhere near the check-in or check-out would be ideal.

4) Have an office printer dedicated to prescriptions.

With a dedicated office printer, patients will be able to pick up written prescriptions in the dispensary. At this point, the person manning the dispensary can inform the patients of the physician dispensing service. This way, patients have a choice between getting their prescription filled at the office, or taking it to a retail pharmacy.

5) Keep customer service in mind at all times.

Get to know the patients by name and establish good relationships with them. When they discover they can get better, more convenient, and more personal care at the physician's office than at the pharmacy, they'll convert completely to physician dispensing.

It is also a good idea to use physician dispensing software that offers monthly call reports. These let the dispensary know when monthly refills are ready, so they can call the patients and remind them to come pick it up. Services like these are vital in ensuring the growth and success of physician dispensing in your clinic.

Ensure a smooth transition with a little planning

These tips will help make integrating physician medication dispensing into your practice a smooth, simple process. Offer your patients better service and eliminate the cost of pharmacy calls in one fell swoop. Implement physician medication dispensing today.
