Ok, so the book has a very broad variety of recipes, so anything would be fine, just don’t make it so specific that people think “that looks yum, where’s the recipe?”.
No, there aren’t any schemes in the book. What I am planning on calling the book will be something like “Homeschoolers’ recipe book”.
And yes, it…Read more

Light bleeding is something I haven’t paid attention to before, but now I see how much of a difference it can make.

When you’re…Read more

I think if I had the time to photograph this assignment I would have incorporated some elements of physical exertion, like hiking a steep trail, or actually climbing…Read more

You’ve probably already had this looked at on the webinar (which I was sorry to miss as a long-time Lenspiration member), so I’ll keep this super brief!

Things I like:
–that sky. those clouds are super super cool looking and you certainly picked a good time to shoot.
–lead in lines!…Read more

Like @lenspirationlydia, I didn’t look at James’s image before starting. I’m using…Read more

Very interesting, @samuelwest, having never edited a snow photo before! I’m glad you can now say you have. 🙂

The reason I edited mine the way I did (kinda dark), is because I wanted attention to be drawn to the sky. I tried to bring out the color there as best I could.…Read more

@jamesstaddon or @lenspirationlydia, do you require model releases for these type of photos (not full faces in the pictures)?

In this particular situation, a model release was not required. In general, when you do need a model release you’d want to get one even if only part of the face is showing in the…Read more

Thank you! Laura

How many photos would you suggest is a good number to have…Read more

And Lydia, thank you for your bit of advice! 🙂

@dotremain, thank you for the suggestion of desaturating the background, and leaving more of the bowls in the photos. When you said about triangles, were you referring to the three bowls – two soups and a bowl of yogurt – as making a triangle? Did you have any other triangles that you…Read more

@dotremain Ah, yes I was worried about my lenses too, but thankfully I only had a few that were EF-S.

What do you think?

Thank you so much for the link to the video and your points! They were indeed helpful.

Most of the days were cloudy, but I was able to get a couple shots that weren’t bad! Thanks for your help!

I also was going to mention that the camera was actually quite dusty when I photographed it, and I had to use the Spotfix tool on my editor to try and clean up the pictures! So for everyone who will shoot this assignment….I would suggest that you clean the…Read more

I am glad that you like the flower. When I saw it, I was so blown away by the amazing colors.
I will try cropping the blackberry photo; I agree that the composition isn’t great right now.

The only one I have experience with is the 50mm. Some people love prime lenses.

That’s me! You learn eventually to “zoom with your feet” instead of your fingers. It’s strange at first.
I was given a broken 50mm f/1.8 prime lens once. It had no autofocus, no IS, and it fell apart literally in my hand if I wasn’t careful.…Read more

Fortunately, I am not at the point where I think the equipment makes the beautiful pictures, but I do feel limited- especially as my zoom lens goes up to 55mm only, and I find myself over and over again trying to get a shot of something further that I can’t walk up closer to (i.e. birds, stars and…Read more

And here are the rest of my photos:)

Also @lenspirationlydia, are my photos small enough for this forum? They are much bigger on the longest edge that the recommended pixels, but a lot smaller than the specified MB size

Good question, @laura-aome! There are two reasons for the recommended sizes, and I think understanding those will help with your question!

1. The recommended…Read more

Thanks for that, @lenspirationlydia! Neither of the Windows links from that discussion worked for me. I think one was too old, and the other, I’m sure, would have worked for someone who knew how to ‘work’ it lol! So I looked up online ones, and found one that downsizes. Have I done them…Read more
