ADVICE // 3
Protecting Yourself in the Event of Equipment Malfunction

This year has already proven itself to be the year of technical difficulties. First my camera died on me after taking it out for pictures during one of the many snowstorms last season…I know BAD IDEA! And most recently, my only two year old 27-inch iMac decided to start shutting down randomly while in use. Needless to […]

Dena - Excellent advice! I also kept my old camera as a backup in case of emergency. You can never be too cautious. :)

Maddy {Mad Hearts Photography} - Hi Barbara! I haven’t logged into my blog in months, so I’m so sorry I missed your comment/question. Right now, I use a Nikon D700. My favorite lenses are all prime and they are: Nikon 85mm f/1.4, Nikon 105mm f/2.8 and the Nikon 35mm f/1.4.

I also use Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CS6. Thanks for stopping by! I hope to post more frequently this year, so please feel free to stop by anytime :)

Tiffany B. - I do this type of list about once a year for my business. For me it’s about finding my materials (paper, adhesive, bubble envelopes) at good prices.

Maddy {Mad Hearts Photography} - My best investments have been educational in the last few months. I’ll have to check out that book! Thanks for the suggestion!

REVIEW: NIKON105MM F/2.8D
The Lens I Never Knew I Needed Until Now

There’s not a single photographers I know that doesn’t love to window shop for our next gear “Wish List” item.  So after the holidays, I decided to pop into my favorite local camera store – Unique Photo – to check out the 85mm f/1.4 that I’ve been dying to get my hands on. I noticed that […]

Amy - I’ve noticed that I love to zoom in for a closer look things when I snap photos. Of course, with my Canon Powershot I can zoom in only so much. So this post is more than I can handle. I want . . . I need. Pretty sure. :)
