Monday FREE to Watch (World Premiere at 12pm ET): Building Your Family Portrait Business Online Class with Tamara Lackey

According to the CreativeLIVE On-AIR Schedule, today we have the world premiere (recording LIVE today) of a brand new photography class by Tamara Lackey, Building Your Family Portrait Business starting at 12pm ET today (Monday 11/6/17). You can watch for FREE during this promotional window until Tuesday PM [it will probably rerun through the night, it’s not a 24×7 live class].

A bit of a disambiguation on the title, it is “Family-Portrait Business”, not “Family Portrait-Business”. It teaches creating a business taking portraits of families, not creating a family business dealing in portraits 🙂

Coming up in the next few days:
+ Wednesday: “Capturing Authentic Children Portraits” with Tamara Lackey (LIVE)
+ Wednesday: “Adobe Photoshop 101” by Ben Willmore
+ Friday: “Family Group Posing” (LIVE)
+ November 13: “Posing 101: Essentials” by Lindsay Adler
+ November 14: “Studio Lighting Basics”
+ November 16: “Practical Adobe Photoshop Basics” (LIVE)
+ December 4: “Portrait Photography Fundamentals” (LIVE)
+ no “Fast Start” camera classes scheduled at the moment

“LIVE”, as designated with a yellow tag in the On-AIR Schedule listings indicates that a class is recorded LIVE, it is the world premiere. Classes without the LIVE indicator are rebroadcasts/reruns but still free to watch during the dates shown in the On-Air schedule.

Now shipping: Google Pixelbook

If you are a fan of the Google Pixelbook, they have began shipping! The i5, 8 GB RAM, 256GB option is in-stock and shipping by Amazon itself for $1199, while the i5, 8 GB RAM, 128GB option is in the mysterious “Ships when available in 1-2 days” condition for $999.

A stylus is not included. It is available for $99 on its own [in-stock; limit 3], or in bundles with the stylus which are +$100 than the Pixelbook on its own.

This is obviously a premium device as a ChromeDroid flagship, but if you prefer a more bang-for-the-buck approach, the Samsung Chromebook PRO goes for $500 and a stylus is included.

Speaking of Samsung, we have the first “Amazon itself” token discount of the Galaxy Note 8 (unlocked, USA warranty) for $937~ instead of $950. The important thing here is that the discounting process has began, not that a $13 discount will sway millions to buy it 🙂

Imported Panasonic 100-400 f4-6.3 OIS for $1370 [m43]

To the eBay Deals we go, where the QuickNDone eBay store (99.9%) is offering the new condition imported grey-market Panasonic Leica DG 100-400mm F/4-6.3 O.I.S micro four thirds lens for $1370 with free shipping until 11/6/17 or earlier if sold out. Limit two per customer.

There is no mention of warranty in the eBay listing except when you hit the Warranty tab at the very bottom, it says limited 1-year (it may have been a leftover or default setting in the form). In the chance they do offer a warranty, it would be a seller-warranty, since they are not Panasonic USA retailers. Assume there is no warranty to be on the safe side.

PS: if interested in this, don’t forget to first activate the 8% eBay Bucks if you have invited by the eBay email bots to participate.

YMMV: 8% back in eBay Bucks on $50+ items

This is YMMV ~ I do not know if eBay offers this to everyone or a subset of their registered users. Good until Saturday at 11:59pm pacific time (11/4/17), you earn 8% eBay Bucks on your purchases of products with individual prices of $50 or higher.

First you have to manually activate the offer from the eBay email or your eBay messages (if invited/selected to participate). Some exclusions apply as usual and the maximum rewards you can earn is $100 per transaction, and $500 during the promotional period.

A good place to look for ideas are the eBay Deals along with the Trending Deals (shows only 100 trending deals, less overwhelming to look at than their main deals page). There’s also a dedicated search box there that searches only the Deals, not everything else on eBay.

Another way to look for ideas is our eBay Category posts here…
