***I posted this on my own blog on friday and thought I would share on here too since some of you may find it helpful!***
this week’s five on friday is dedicated to those photog’s that drop by as well as those that just love photography and like to play around with it. Hopefully this will be useful, fun, and/or just a good read:) I, in no way, know it all in the photography world but I thought this would be fun to do. If you are a photographer, share your faves in the comment section.
1. Favorite place to buy things: <a href=”http://www.bhphotovideo.com/”>B&H photo</a>! They have it all, a megastore in NYC, an awesome catalog, and an easy to browse website. I ordered a new lens this week (17-40 mm L for those that are interested. yay for wide angle!!) and it was from them. 4.95 shipping, can’t beat that!
2. Favorite item that is on my to buy/want list: <a href=”http://www.shootsac.com/”>Shootsac</a>. I heart Shootsac and actually do need one but haven’t gotten one yet…well, because I’m cheap. But apparently they are worth it so I need to get on the ball. If you need ideas for a gift for me, this would be a good one:)
3. Favorite actions: I have a ton of faves but the go to for my black and white is <a href=”http://www.actionsbybrenda.com/index2.html”>Brenda Acuncius</a>. My fave is the b/w 2. She rocks!
4. Fave blog to stalk: First, a sidenote. I have about 5 blogs I check/stalk regularly and never leave a comment. I am terrible about this. I have made it a point lately to start leaving comments. There is no reason not too! I heart comments and sure they do too:) One of my faves is <a href=”http://www.jasminestarblog.com/”>Jasmine Star</a>. She is inspirational and the blog is a ton of fun
to read.
5. Favorite way to give back: I am a HUGE believer in giving back…in whatever profession you have, whatever your economic situation, you can give back. Little personal things can change a person’s day…isn’t that extraordinary to really think about….how the smallest gesture like a smile can literally change someone’s day. Although I don’t do it as often as I should, I try to give back to the community as much as I can with photography. Rarely is it too much of an organized thing. I just keep my eyes open for opportunities. Back in the day I was a social worker for teens in custody. Did you know they didn’t have one picture of themselves. I love my photos from when I was younger and growing up, its keeps the memories alive, and it made me realize just how important it is to give back what God has gifted us with to those that can’t afford it. <a href=”http://www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org/”>Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep</a> is an organization that was started to give back. I personally am not involved in this yet just because I am not in a place where I can handle it emotionally and don’t want to be breaking down in front of the families but have friends who are involved and it has changed there lives. It is photographers signing up to be there for a family when they lose a child at birth. It is definitely not an easy thing as a photographer to do but think of what you are giving to that family. If you are in need of a way to give back, I would recommend this organization:)

As a new photographer on the Knoxville scene, I am just beginning to purchase the necessary equipment I'll be needing. I shot my first couple of sessions with the standard package lens, but recently purchased the Canon 50mm f/1.4. It has been on backorder at B & H and I scouted their site for weeks hoping they would get more in. On a recent trip to NYC, I even went to their flagship store (it's massive, by the way) to see if they had any used ones in their store. Nada. I finally succumbed and bought it used from Amazon. I haven't had a chance to work with it extensively, but so far, I am not disappointed. I was a bit worried about it being a prime lens. Would I miss the zoom? Could I get the pictures I need while having to move around so much? At this point, the other advantages (i.e. all that bokeh!) really outweigh the lack of zoom control. Really, I actually enjoyed moving around and getting more physically involved in the shoot. The main thing I need to perfect is getting the focus more precise. I have relied on autofocus too long, and this lens will definitely cure me of that! Assuming most of you are like me - looking for the most bang for your few bucks - this really does seem like the best deal out there. Here is a much more technical review that you might find helpful.
