My camera handles a high ISO and I usually don't mind some grain, but I know some photographers are horrified by any noise.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to the 24-70 lens. I'm really excited that it is tax season again and I still have some adoption money coming to me! At home I use my 50/1.4 primarily and I am seriously itchin' for a new lens!<br /><br />Thanks for the info.

You know I am obsessed with trying to figure this stuff out. I feel like this was a major lightbulb post for me! It answered a lot of my nagging frustrations. <br /><br />One question - do you keep your ISO on auto? Or do you literally adjust it along with your shutter speed and aperture for each photo? I assume you must set it on auto with maybe an upper limit max? I have never ever used anything but 200 ISO because of my PTSD from the cruddy D40. Now I realize that was a huge mistake. Why get a camera with better noise handling if I'm not going to use it, right?Nickihttp://www.steppingonlegos.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29488101.post-46900951989750293782010-02-04T14:41:21.308-08:002010-02-04T14:41:21.308-08:00You explain photography nicely and seeing the sett...You explain photography nicely and seeing the settings along with the photo is really helpful.

I had just read something a few days ago about how most photographers prefer northern light and I was not agreeing with that. So glad to hear someone else has a different opinion as well. Unfortunately I have very few south facing windows in my house. I do have a question as well...are you still shooting in RAW exclusively or only for client shoots? <br /><br />Glad to hear the food changes are going well...it's not easy, but totally worth it! <br /><br />Love the new website and the pictures are beautiful as always!Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16015568630951178418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29488101.post-6109016985770905172010-02-04T10:23:04.214-08:002010-02-04T10:23:04.214-08:00That was really helpful, and I hope you will do po...That was really helpful, and I hope you will do posts like this as often as you can, too!

And it's funny because doing this 365 Day Project has been a stretch for me because it's the dead of Winter in Chicago and days with sunlight are few and far between. I've had to work a little harder to find light, which is good for me. :) I love the light in my bedroom in the morning when the sun is out and it streams through a south-facing window. I'd never thought about the direction of the window but just figured out that I like the light. It was funny to hear you talk about the direction and realize that I total agree.<br /><br />And those photos are great of the family with three kids. I'm sure the mom is ecstatic.Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12396559803002410028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29488101.post-32605563978909537072010-02-03T19:31:25.626-08:002010-02-03T19:31:25.626-08:00Just looked at the new blog.
