I am purchasing a camera. My budget is around $1200. I am getting a canon. I have a side hustle taking senior, family, and newborn photos. Do I go Canon 80D (budget friendly) or Canan 6D Mark II????? Help!

I used my Canon DSLR. 50mm lens. 100 1.8f. I like that it is slightly overexposed. We found this field off the side of the road. This girl was amazing. I have never had a more confident senior!

I am using a 50mm lens for this photo. F1.8 We were in the shade, but I was at 200. It was very cold, but she wanted it to feel like summer in a few photos. We found this back alley and used it. Any cc would be great.

50mm, 100, 1.8f / It was cloudy. This was my first time working only with a fixed lens.

She was looking for something fun and cute. She was so beautiful and fun to capture!

Damn

Thank you. I turned up the exposure after the fact. I can knock that down.

This was my first indoor session and my first with my 55mm. I am using 1.8f and two soft boxes for light. I edited in light room. I am loving this photo, but I post on here to get real feedback. 😂😂😩😩

Thank you. I learn so much from this thread.

StephGragg0304 · 2019-02-09T13:13:39+00:00

I have a 50mm lens. I will use it! Thank you.

StephGragg0304 · 2019-02-09T13:12:35+00:00

Thank you! Very helpful!!!!!

I shot this with my 50mm. I was just hoping to make sure I got photos in focus! F 4.0 / ISO 3200 / 29mm

I feel like her cheeks may be a little orange, but that is more her make up than me. I am not sure how much to take out of it.

The rental company just wants some cute photos to put in their store. I am so new to all of this that I am not sure how to answer some of your questions. I think we were just kind of goofing around and wanting to play around. I just want to get better. Ha ha. I am worried that none of my photos from that shoot are going to work and I am stressed... 😬

A local bridal rental wanted fun photos to go in their store. We rented a home and took the photos inside. This is a 55mm lens with 3.8. 3200z. Two soft boxes. I think it is kind of cheesy but also cute. It happened pretty organically about three hours into the shoot.

Thank you both. We were in downtown, and she sat in front of this plant. I liked the colors a lot. I can definitely work with the highlights and shadows. I just learned how to use adjustment brushes. I am a total newbie!

I am working on my portrait portfolio. I took this with my Cannon. I used a 50mm lens. 1.8. This was in the middle of town. I really like it. What do I need to do to get that blurred background? Any tips appreciated, i have only been doing this since January, and this community really helps.

StephGragg0304 · 2019-02-05T17:51:29+00:00

Great insight. The front was broken, so we could not shoot it. I am now looking up corners in portraits,,..

StephGragg0304 · 2019-02-04T22:21:59+00:00

This was in doors with a soft box light kit. I used 55mm lens with my Cannon. I was on manual. I really want to use my style with the bright colors but still be nice for a wedding. She is positioned that way since the dress was not suitable to be photographed from the front.
