photography

There are lots of blogs out there for the professional photographer. Blogs with tutorials and such. Blogs that explain F-stops and Shutter Speeds. This is not one of them. I am just a photographer wanna-be with a passion to capture in time my three children and the moments of their childhood.

So I will share here with you the things that I use and the resources that have helped me. If you are where I was a few years ago...transitioning from Point and Shoot to SLR...feel free to dip into my oh so shallow well of knowledge on this subject.

I currently shoot with a Canon Rebel XSi

These are the lenses that I use:

  • Canon Telephoto 75-30mm  This lens is great for outdoor shots of kids. Especially if you want to capture them from a distance naturally doing what they are doing as to not get "cheese" from them when they see the camera.

  • Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II This lens is often referred to as a "Prime Lens"...or as "The best $100 bucks you will ever spend" I would have to agree. There is no zoom on this lens...it is set at 50mm. So you have to move more than you are used to with a zoom. It took me a while to learn how to feel this lens...But oh my word the pictures it takes! With such a low F-stop you can achieve that beautiful "bokeh" we all love. The berries above were taken with this lens.

  • Canon EF 85mm f1.8 Medium Telephoto I do not own this lens...but you can probably sense that I intend to.  Since we are making wish lists drooling over things we don't have I will go ahead and add this although I won't hold my breath. For now I will use what I have for post-editing.

Here are a few ladies that have a plethora of knowledge in this area. But don't just take my word for it:


  • McKMama has a few great tutorials on how to achieve certain looks with Photoshop

  • You can always stop by Ruthanne's for some eye candy...and a snazzy new strap from her Etsy shop to boot!

  • Melissa is just super at explaining all things photography on my level..check her out too.

  • And of course if you really want to do some droolin' head on over to Darcy's my fabulous web designer and feast your eyes on her gorgeous photos...you might just learn a thing or two there too.
