Below are some answers to last week’s live Q&A on Facebook.
1. Jecka T.: What is the best lens for low light (indoor) photography where flash isn’t allowed?
50mm f/1.2!
2. Gringa M.: Do you use Lightroom for editing? If so, do you make your own presets? Or do you buy the pre-made ones?
Yes, I use Lightroom. When I first started I bought presets and then tweaked them to fit my style. When I first started I didn’t have a unique style so the presets were a good starting point. Now I don’t use any presets.
3. Sreeja B.: What’s your typical day like? How do you manage time?
A typical weekday involves walking or hiking with my dog, going into the office, attending meetings, photo editing, blogging, and then perhaps dinner with a friend. I always make time for myself and friends. In the end they are more important than work.
4. Marina S.: Do you spend any “fun” time with the bride & groom between booking the date & the big day?
Before the wedding day, I usually see the couple for an Engagement Session and maybe a meal afterwards. When possible, I also try to attend the rehearsal. This helps me get the couple and their loved ones a lot!
Hello Christine.
All so beautiful. I chanced upon you blog through your fb page. To introduce myself I am a passionate lover of photography that I do for a hobby. I am always out asking questions on equipment and here I am with you today.
My question to you is. Which speedlite do you have mounted on your camera in this posts picture. It is a diffuser of sorts or more of a soft box. Could you please tell me? I use the Ezybox Lastolite on my speedlites.
Appreciate your reply.
Hi Peter! It is a video light panel from Dracast. Sometimes I prefer it over flash!
Thank You so much Christine. Much appreciated. Yeah! I should have guessed it although I was thinking it to be the honeycomb grill LOL. But would you recommend it as an alternative to the speedlite? Appreciate your time taken to reply.
