To be honest I am not an action/sports photographer. Is that what you are talking about? Or "action" as in moving toddlers? For that the lens doesn't matter as much as proper settings and proximity. If you are talking sports then you would need a big old zoom lens which I am not as familiar with.
-
yes I am...in fact we are working on a great selection of classes and workshops for beginners all the way to pros. we hope to be releasing the information within a month :)
-
thanks love, you are too!
-
Anytime on a cloudy day or morning or evening on bright days :)

I love my Mac. No freezing/virus issues. And beautiful on screen images!
-
i have used it for everybody! i suggest to start using it at maybe 2.8 and working your way to a more open setting. It takes time to be able to get a subject in focus at 1.4.
-
I switch it up! I have the 50 1.4, 24-70 2.8, 35 1.8 and 105 macro. It depends on the lighting and how many people.
-
I am going to be teaching a class myself in the spring and it will be more hands on. I am not sure of many in the area, but I think there is a Chicago School of Photography {not 100% sure on name, maybe google it}
-
i am always on the look out. mostly etsy.com and I love to support locals {friends} that knit and make things themselves. My fabric is just from local fabric stores! Too risky to use pricey blankets with babies;)
-
Hard question! If I could only use one lens then I would have to pick a zoom. There is no way I could get away with only ever using a prime (though prime is my fav right now) I would pick the 24-70 f/2.8. The only issue would be the 2.8, I wish it opened a little more. I pick that lens because I can get close up with it and zoom out for wedding and larger families.
-
I think getting the 55-200mm would be great if you will be shooting your children playing sports or for recitals where you will be sitting a distance away.

Look for your best lighting in the house and then clear your space to simplify it. When I walk into a space I look around a bit and get inspired my the style of home, lighting, color, and texture.
-
I love outdoor, unique locations. I am on a hunt for some different settings. I like the setting to be perfectly imperfect :) And of course the sun has to be just right.
For homes I look for the best light and then go from there. Many times we have to rearrange some furniture, but it always works. Of course I love the child's room for the setting too. -
dry my hair. It would save me 45min of my day!

Yes I shoot 100% manual. I have not found workshop that I feel is great. I did find a good children's photography book, and of course it is packed away so I do not remember the author. I feel the best way to "find the light" is to practice in every lighting situation you can. Also take advantage of your cameras meter! It is your best tool. Yes I use both photoshop and ligthroom. Sometimes bridge and raw. I get through phases of where I like to work ;)
I do not use strobes at all and I have a speedlight that I only use in a lighting emergency. I try to avoid it and use natural light at all costs. -
Good one! I only open my curves on a need basis. I also use levels. I play with my color balance more than anything. I really try to get my exposure SOOC. With time that has been getting easier for me.
Best piece of editing advice: If you been working on a photo for longer than 20 min, move on (it is either as perfect as you want it or it needs to be how it was ten minutes ago). I find that I need to take my own advice;) Sometimes I play with a photo so much that it starts to look artificial. I reset it and go back to it a while later. Most likely the photo I was spending the most time with was fine after a little color balance and a few other tweaks. -
I am assuming this is for a DSLR so I think right now the Nikon D3000, even though I think they D90 or D5000 are great.
Wish I could give you feedback on canon, but I know people that have the Rebel like it. -
