Hey Vanessa~super pictures! I have been wondering--what kind of lens do you have? I have a dslr, too, (a Canon EOS), but I can't seem to get the vibrant pictures that others get. Are these sooc shots or do you tweak them? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks Melissa! My go-to lens is my 50 mm. Photographers typically call it the nifty fifty because it is an incredible lens for only about $100. For the most part all my pics are sooc. I very rarely do anything to them unless I want to have fun with black and white, etc. And of course, I do put my watermark on them These were not tweaked at all.
DeleteHope that helps you!
Thanks! I'll have to put that on my wish list... :) I have also wondered how to put the watermark on--care to answer that question, too??
ReplyDeleteYep, I can. Do you have any kind of photoshop at all?? If so, I would search on You Tube for Making a Watermark in Photoshop. If you don't, I think many just enter your picture onto a free photo website and add the words then. They won't be "hidden" that way, but still a watermark is better than not having one or so everyone says!
DeleteIf you have more questions, you can ask away! I wish I knew exactly how to do one without photoshop, but I don't! :(
Ok, sorry--one more question. I have a remedial understanding of lenses; I just looked at my lens that came with the camera and it says 18-55mm. Would that meant that it "includes" 50 mm? I wonder if I need to tweak some of the settings...
ReplyDeleteThe 18-55mm lens would be considered a kit lens. Meaning it came with your camera as part of a kit. It is a zoom lens. It is different then the 50mm because the 50mm is a fixed lens meaning it is not a zoom lens. Instead, you have to move closer or farther away from your subject. It takes a bit of getting used to, but it creates amazing, clear, crisp, pictures!
DeleteAgain, feel free to ask any other questions you have and I'll do my best to answer them! :)
