So I went to Wal*Mart to pick up some pictures of the girls that I sent on-line.
But they wouldn't give me my photos without,
get this...
a copyright release from the photographer!
I politely explained that they are not professional pictures,
in fact, I took the photos myself.
Not good enough.
They said they {looked} professional.
I had to have a release.
I explained again that the photos were mine.
So they made me fill out a copyright release to get my own pictures!
How crazy was that!
I took it as a compliment :-)
I've had several people ask me some photography questions
so I thought I'd just answer them all in one post.
The camera I shoot with is a Nikon D60.
Its a great beginner DSLR and I absolutely love it!
I have no special lenses, only the kit lenses that came with the camera.
They're not the best in the world but they work.
I mostly use my 18-55mm lens
but do have a 55-200 lens that I haven't picked up in over a year!
I shoot only in natural light, no studio lighting for me!
I wouldn't even know how to begin to use studio lighting.
To edit my pictures I like using Lightroom and Photoshop.
I vow to get better at using both.
I haven't taken any photography classes and am completely self-taught.
I think that covers all the questions I've been asked recently.
Hope you have a great week!
Happy Shooting!
