The best photographers rise to the top by practicing, while the second-best photographers rise to the top by shooting blackmail photos of the first-best. Snap like a champ with today’s Groupon: for $85, you get a one-hour, on-location photography shoot for up to eight people (a $150 value), a DVD with five images (a $40/image value), an 8”x10” print (a $25 value), and a 5”x7” print (a $15 value) from Heba Salama Photography (a $390 total value).
Master photosmith Heba Salama creates images using natural lighting and outdoor locations. The one-hour session finds up to eight friends, family members, or magicians' assistants and their twins smiling and posing for the camera. Salama will travel to sites in the Raleigh or Chapel Hill areas that she has scouted and preapproved for their natural beauty. After the session, Salama will trap five color-corrected, high-resolution images on a DVD for patrons to view or print. The session also includes two professional-grade prints: a desk-enhancing 5”x7” and an 8”x10” fit for living rooms and oversize wallets.

The Groupon Guide to: Choosing Produce
There's no worse feeling than when you buy what you assume is perfectly ripe produce only to discover it's too hard or have it dissolve into a pile of ashes in your grocery bag. Here are some tips for filling your basket with ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables:
- Broccoli: Drag the vegetable florets-side-up across your arm. Each should be firm enough to rid your forearm of unwanted hair.
- Cherry: You'll have to tear through the tasteless, inedible outer layer to test the cherry's high-protein, peanut-like core. Once you expose the cherry nut, swallow it and rate the pain you feel as it gradually moves down your throat. If it's less than a seven, it's too ripe.
- Apple: Smell an apple. Does it smell apple?
- Cantaloupe: Knock on it to determine if it's hollow. If it is, there's a gerbil living inside subsisting on the fruit's ripe core. Hurry up! You'll have to eat quickly to beat the gerbil.
- Pumpkin: This orange, round gourd shouldn't deflate easily, so repeatedly stab it with something sharp, such as a hunting knife or the tools doctors use to open their mail.
