I shoot Canon, a 30D at the moment. And yes, I am on the "list" for the Canon 5D Mark II. I also have a variety of lenses: Canon EF-S 60mm f 2.8, Canon EF 50mm f1.4, Canon EF 70-200 f2.8, Tamron 28-75 f 2.8., and a Tamron 17-35 f4.5-5.6. I have others on my wish list, but until then I make photos with what I've got.
I love my 60 f2.8. Seriously, I haven't tried a lens yet that is as sharp as this one. I had a shoot a couple of weeks ago that got me started on the hunt for the perfect wide angle lens. I'm happy to report that the best lens was one I already had! The 30D has a cropped sensor, so finding a good wide angle lens can be hard.
The shoot when great, it was a pinup/boudoir shoot that I did with a friend of mine. I wanted a certain type of lighting and I struggled with how to achieve it. I did about a full weekend's worth of internet searching, pouring over photos I had for inspiration and trying to work out how to recreate the effects I liked. I finally had a blink of "ah ha!" and found myself the most simple lighting I couldn't think of! Hahaha!
Because I'm a makeup artist as well, I got to do the hair and makeup for the shoot too. We did 12 setups, each was a month of a year. I'm still working on some of the shots, doing final touches. I wanted to post one of my favorites. It's July!
