Ok, is it a lens filter that makes the color in your pictures amazing? I want amazing colors! Wahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
That's so nice of you to say, Sue! Actually, it's a couple of things. A good lens ("glass") is important in the image quality, but the color has more to do with the adjustments made after the photo is taken. Photoshop is just amazing in what you can do in post-processing...increasing the saturation and affecting a million other things. I'm just getting started learning Photoshop, but it's made all the difference in my photos.
Ahhhh...Photoshop! I currently have a canon 18-55mm lens, but I would like to upgrade for one that does fantastic portraits. Suggestions?
Yay, Canon! Well, for portrait lenses, most say that in 100mm range is the best for portraits. Some like a simple (prime) 50mm. One of the keys, to me, is getting a fast lens so you can shoot with natural light. That means an aperture of 2.8 or 1.8 or 1.4 or 1.2. Shooting at those apertures, your background will be blurred (the effect is called bokeh), really highlighting your subject. Many photographers think that the 70-200mm is the best portrait lens around. Hope that helps!

Oh you little sweetie, you! Thanks so much for the info...I now have a direction to go in. You are the only person I "know" who has a good knowledge of cameras, so I will be picking your brain here and there, if you don't mind. Thanks again! I set up another blog to post pictures, so pop in once in a while and take a peek.

Later gator!
Nice collection so far. Always available to provide my two cents when it comes to photography, but I'm a beginner, too!
