selfportrait

----------------------------------
If you want to view portraits of my family, friends, or clients you have to be added to my friends list. Just send a message or leave a comment if you want to be added. I'll add you if your photos look legite and family-friendly.
----------------------------------

my gear:
(not because I'm a gear snob, just listing this so you know what I use to get the portraits I'm getting)

- Canon 5D (recently upgraded from the Canon 40D)
- Canon 100mm 2.8 Macro
- Canon 50mm 1.4
- Canon 20mm 2.8
- Canon 430ex Speedlight
- Alienbee Cybersyncs (to trigger my wireless flash)
- Reflector (only really use it for newborn sessions), monopod, tripod, beat up umbrella, all the regular stuff

I used to have the Canon 200mm 2.8 L ... boy I miss that lens. But the 100mm 2.8 Macro suits my needs better right now, especially since I'm using a crop sensor camera.

software stuff:
- Adobe PS CS5
- For raw processing I use DPP (the software that comes with Canon cameras, love it!)
- Noiseware for noise removal
- Actions I created for myself that speed up my editing time
- I also use a texture from Michelle Black, there is one she created that is Perfect!
When I don't use it for 'texture' I blur it and use it for a sort of vignette in Overlay mode.
