How to "Whitelist" Email Addresses for AOL

-

 Why is a photography blog writing about this? Because more and more our web hosts are sending you automatic download links and AOL thinks we are sending you viruses or spam. :-) We have run into this MORE on AOL. That does not mean it does not happen on other mail servers.

Just so you know MANY but not all dog show photographers use this same web host so this will help you get ALL of our download links! 

Whitelist an Email Sender in AOL

You must add the email address or corporate domain of the sender to your address book or custom sender list to make sure email gets delivered to your AOL inbox. 

  • First, click on the "Spam Controls" link on the lower right side of your inbox screen.
  • A "Mail and Spam Controls" box will appear.
  • Now click on the "Customer Sender" list link and choose the "Allow email from ..." option.
  • Enter no-reply@shootproof.com, then click "add" and "save." 

In more recent versions of AOL, you can also simply add the name of the sender to your Contacts list. AOL will then recognize that this is someone you want to communicate with. Just click on the sender's email address. A menu should drop down. Select "Add Contact." 


This is a screenshot from my phone of what a link from us will look like! :-) As always if you have problems please feel free to contact us! :-)

Dog Show Photography Is Regional and Professional!

Not all dog shows do the same thing when it comes to photographers...and a lot of that is regional...find out more below! Announcements at the end of the blog. We are getting ready for our busy season and will be seeing you at shows soon! Please feel free to give us questions for the blog at shows, but due to time constraints please write them down, we are literally answering everything asked in this format BECAUSE it gives us time to do so without being rude! Email and Facebook are always a great way to get in touch! Why do some shows have multiple photographers listed and what does this mean for an exhibitor? It depends on the area. The west coast is it's own entity. I have no idea why they work the way they do. Nor do I know how the photographers actually make a living. Many probably have more than one job or photograph more than one type of event. If you notice a couple different photographers listed in areas other than the west coast. Then, more than likely, t...

Short Answers Part Three

-
This is the last of a group of posts of questions that didn't require longer answers. I am sure there will be more in the future! I am limiting these to three questions so there isn't as much information to take in! I would like to thank Kim and Odebt for these questions.  Please, without questions there is no blog so ask, ask, ask!   Can digital images be rushed for ad deadlines? Yes. However, in this day of digital images, most of us are set up so that you are able to get images almost instantly. It is no longer like the days of film. I have images online within 48 hours of a show (normally much faster, but sometimes driving/weather happens) and digital orders go out within 48 hours, if there are no special requests, of being placed. Very little rushing is actually needed now a days. If you need it faster that that or if your photographer edits images prior to placing them online (which I don't which is how they get online so quickly), then most have a fee and c...

Short Answers!

The next couple of posts will be multiple questions that don't require longer answers. I am limiting these to three questions so there isn't as much information to take in! I would like to thank Kim and Odebt for these questions.  Please, without questions there is no blog so ask, ask, ask! What is preferred? To have the judge and handler look at the dog, or the camera, or vary it? Some handlers are so proud of their accomplishment and can't help but look at the camera, but is it considered more appropriate to look at the dog every time to bring attention to the dog?   One should always look at the dog, it’s a dog show, technically, the dog won! Most judges already do this; some even move out, and turn slightly in, to "see" the dog better in photos. If all people in the photo are looking at the dog then anyone looking at the photo, will be drawn to the dog as well and dog shows, after all, are about the dog. (All of this said even experienced handlers and...
