Good job, Evelyn!

INCREDIBLE @lenspirationlydia!

That’s a good question, @warrior-princess! In the details it says:

“You may submit multiple photos with your written story. You may submit more than one story.”

Since it doesn’t specify, I’d suggest keeping the amount of photos submitted with each story down to 10. It’s not a hard limit, and Nature Friend will be happy to have lots of pictures,…[Read more]

@buddingphotographer covered everything that I can think of!

I started with a 20D (in 2006), then upgraded to a 40D (then to a 5Dii, then 5Diii, then 7Dii), so 30D sure is a long time ago!

Did it pass the initial trial run? Be sure to set up scenarios and take test photos with both cameras to see on the computer the difference between the two…[Read more]

In the Library module (which you still have access to in LR when the subscription is canceled) there is also a “Quick Develop” area that allows you to do basic edits on a photo. So, there is a little bit of things you can do in LR even after the subscription is canceled.

I had such a fun time documenting March in my portion of the globe, and I’m looking forward to seeing your photo essays sharing what March is like in your corner of the world!

That’s really great, @parrisfamily! And gorgeous photos, @ruth!

As for announcing the winner, I wanted to share 4 things that summarize what we covered in the webinar last night (members can watch the replay here: https://www.lenspiration.com/video/webinar86/)

1 – The top photos that I thought best fulfilled the assignment
2 – My personal…[Read more]

That’s a good question. It looks like they only have “Luminar Neo” which is a more advanced, AI-centered photo editing app that it was when I was researching the program before 2022. It’s more expensive now that I remember too. But it still is a better alternative than “renting” LR every month. From all my research just now, I couldn’t find…[Read more]

Yay! Can’t wait to see the photos you take with it!!

Wow guys, I think we have had more submissions for this assignment than we have for any other! Going through all your photos tomorrow and critiquing them is going to be a blast. Don’t forget to register ahead of time for tomorrow’s critique webinar at 7pm! https://www.lenspiration.com/product/photo-coaching-86/

Yay, you got everyone’s photos submitted, @parrisfamily!

Can you access this article? https://www.lenspiration.com/video/editing-program/ That would explain the pros and cons. I think I would gravitate toward Luminar.

Vertical! Since the photos will most likely be used on the cover of a book, it is best if the photos are taken and submitted in the vertical orientation.

Wahoo! This is the first time anything like this has ever happened! Good job everyone, and thank you Karen!!

Hi @parrisfamily, for a one-time-payment LR alternative, you might want to look into Luminar or On1.

So much fun, seeing all the submissions pouring in!

@creative-click-photography Thanks for the update! Sounds good!

I don’t have personal experience with the Tamron and Sigma lenses that have been mentioned, but I do have experience with teleconverters. The 2x extender is fantastic for my 70-200mm f/2.8. The only drawback is that aperture falls back to f/4.0. However, for the 70-200mm f/4.0, Canon’s 2x extender causes that lens to no become an f/8 lens and…[Read more]

Hi @warrior-princess, thank you for letting me know about your email! Somehow it passed through my email inbox without getting replied to. I just put it back in and will reply soon!

Thank you for your prompt reply, @charlesiv! @warrior-princess, yes, I can vouch for Stripe as well. I prefer it to PayPal also, for what I use it for.
