Frequently Asked Questions

1. What camera do you use? Lenses?

I use a Canon 1000D DSLR most of the time with either the kit lens (an 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6) or my 50mm f/1.8. If I’m not using that, it’s either my Canon S90 digi cam or my old Canon PowerShot A530 (that I usually take along on camping trips or hikes). Videos are taken with a Canon SX30 IS (because of the awesome HD video)

2. What settings do you use? Post-processing?

I almost always shoot on manual (yes, even during sporting events) and I sometimes use program, but that’s getting less and less frequent. As for post-processing I use Adobe Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS5 but I rely heavily on ACR and RAW processing. (because sliders are fun)

3. Favorite blogs?

I tend to be an avid blog-hopper so there’s a pretty big list, but mostly it’s: 

(friends who are also into photography)

Sparklit, Zeitgeists, Weese and Ultramicrofiche (the blog I share with my best friend)

(blogs that I go to because of the wonderful pretty-ness)

Color Me Katie, Commercial Architecture, Pia Jane Bijkerk, Black*Eiffel, Bash, Please
