Welp--That is one thing we save money on! :) I have about 10 million photos of my son and he is only 16 months :) Ok that's an exaggeration. Anyway, fellow photogs, post your websites, I would love to look at your work!

    I just do photography part-time (and it has not been much at all lately- feeling to lousy to really plug business), but I love networking with other photographers!  You have gorgeous pages!  Here is my blog:

    Ah, a lot of portraitists out there! That was never my strong suit. Of course, all I find myself taking photos of lately is my DD, so maybe that'll change :)

    you ladies are some talented photographers! I'm super impressed.

    I am an amateur who is interested in taking nice photos and I have a fairly nice camera (Canon 60D). Do any of you have a rec on a next-step, good, non-prime lens. Mainly wanting to take pics of people (and future baby come June). I have an old kit lens (18-55), a cheapo zoom (70-300, f/4-5.6), the awesomely cheap nifty fifty (f/1.8).

    I was thinking of a major upgrade to the canon 24-70 (f/2.8) but it's crazy expensive. Anyone who owns it, is it worth it? Is there another lens that you'd consider getting next?

    I have a 60D too and that is my dream lens.  I have a few photographer friends who have it, and I love it.  The 24-104 is cheaper, but a higher f stop.  I think if you get a different brand, like Sigma, you may save some money, but I don't know if the quality is the same.  I pretty much shoot exclusively with my 50mm :-)

I guess I just feel that my work tends to be a little darker and less shiny happy people. I tend to shoot more documentary style and stay away from poses, so when my friends ask for nice, bright, posed shots, my mind goes blank. I really envy those of you who make it all seem so natural! 

    For the record, I shoot Pentax - I love their small prime lenses!

    Everyone is self-concious once and a while---you gotta start somewhere. There is always going to be someone better than you---you just have to use that to inspire you to get better rather than becoming discouraged and giving up. :)

    @aesimp Just curious---are you afraid of prime? I was at first because I liked the flexibily of zoom BUT prime lenses really are amazing as far as clarity goes--plus you get more exercise because you have to move your body :).  

    But back to your question---are you looking for an L series lens rec or just regular?

    I'm not, but my husband is a hobby photographer (just travel pics from our vacations).  His website is philrussellphotography.com  (I'll take this down in a bit).  He used to have a lot more pics on there but I think he's working on redoing everything so there's only a couple.

    jesus4life2 I'm not afraid of prime I just feel like I need a "workhorse" lens so I'm not hauling around 3 or 4 lenses for every occasion. I almost exclusively use my little 50mm prime and love it. I think it's a great portrait lens (it's effectively like 80mm since my camera doesn't have a full sized sensor) but I do often find it's too zoomy for stuff. I'd rather not be stuck with JUST a wide angle lens. Anyway, long story short, looking for a high quality, really sharp, everything lens.

    Oh, and I'd love an L-series but it's so highly dependent on the price. Because I'm not making any money off my photos it's a little hard to justify the crazy expensive lenses. BUT because I haven't spent any real money on my photography (besides the camera body) I'm wiling to invest in something that will get a lot of use.

    I can't tell you HOW amazing and worth the 24-70 2.8 is. Have you tried renting it to see if you love it? I usually try to rent an expensive lens before making the big jump to purchase it, but I can pretty much guarantee that you will not regret it!! :)

    ETA to add quote, whoops! Still new around here :)

    aravis121 - Yes, it's completely wordpress and so easy to use. I can add new galleries in minutes and create private galleries for client viewing/ordering as well.

    you sound a lot like me!  i'm also a hobbyist and until last year used the nifty fifty exclusively.  got the tamron 28-75/2.8 and it is AMAZING. i never use the 50mm anymore.  it is so crisp.  read the reviews, they are impressive and many compare it to the canon L series equivalent.
