Vixen 35505 Polarie Star Tracker (Astrophotography Compact Mount) for $300
Photographing the stars used to be perceived as astral photography by the average person. Now the average person thinks of celebrities when one says “I’m photographing the stars tonight”. But who cares? The sky is full of stars regardless. Which brings us to the Vixen 35505 Polarie Star Tracker Astrophotography Compact Mount, on sale for a limited time for $300 with free expedited shipping at Adorama.
Vixen? That brings us back full circle, a device named vixen is not a celebrity/paparazzi photography accessory, but one for the stars in the night sky 🙂

Next Free Entrance at National Parks is September 26
Ooops, I am definitely not Doctor Who – time confusion, August 25 was yesterday. But the next free day is about a month away, September 26 in 2015 (National Public Lands Day), plenty of time to plan ahead, since planning ahead for -1 days (August 25) is slightly difficult without the use of a Tardis…
If you live near one of the 127 national parks (out of 408 total) that charge admission/entrance, on specific days every year (MLK, Prez weekend, Park Week, National Park Service Birthday, Public Lands Day, Veterans Day), you can get FREE admission. Details, restrictions, list of parks, and days/dates that offer free admission for all can be found at the National Park Service website.
TIP: great way to build a large library of “busy day at national park” stock photos 🙂

Canon USA official store: Buy 1 Photo Paper Get 4 (yes FOUR) FREE [but wait, there’s more, order $60+ get bonus 5 packs of 100pk 4×6 photo paper for FREE]
Not by design, but we seem to have a bit of printer and paper theme today. Which brings us to the official Canon USA store having a crazy “Buy 1 Get 4 Free” (yes, buy ONE get FOUR free) sale on select photo papers. To locate the eligible items traverse their selection of Photo Papers. The ones that are eligible for this promotion mention the offer in the search results (annotated screenshot crop example right below):
There’s no coupon, no effort. You simply add ONE to your shopping cart. Then when you visit the shopping cart, you magically find an additional four of them added there for free. Annotated screenshot crop example right below:
If you increase the quantity in the shopping cart from 1 to 2, the free items magically increase from 4 to 8! If you increase it to 3, they jump to 12, and so forth.
Also, if your order total is $60 or more, the shopping cart automatically activates and adds this offer: “Receive 5 FREE Packs of Photo Paper Plus Glossy II 4×6 (100 Sheets) when you spend $60 or more on Ink and Combo/Value Packs”. CRAZY! This is stackable with the previous offers. Here is another screenshot crop with an order total of $60+:
The above freebie appears automatically. You don’t have to do anything.
Offer ends August 31 2015 at 11:59 pm ET. USA addresses only. Resellers not eligible. Etc, etc, etc.
