Aurora Smith - Hi Nicole,

I LOVE these photos, I am wondering if I can use these on our Happening’s Page through Lodgenet at our hotel, of course with full credit to your artisic eye!! I have contacted Michelle and Jon in the past to make sure that they were ok with us using this video and they said, no problem.

I would love to get the original link to your video to upload onto our happenings page.

Please let me know if that would be okay.

Warmest Regards,

Photography 101 . editing

as it turns out, doing these photography 101 posts every other Monday, during the heat of wedding season, was completelyy unrealistic. but with the end of wedding season, as of last Saturday, i hope to pick this back up and answer questions you may have and just write about whatever photography i can think of!…

Amy - Hi!! LOVE this because I read every single one of your blogs and always have a bazillion questions for you! I’m a stalker!

Question for this post, what photoshop action did you run? Did you create one yourself? I have Photoshop Elements and I’ve downloaded a bunch of actions but none of them do what yours did above.

SO, what I LOVE LOVE LOVE most about your photos is how ridiculously clear and sharp they are. Please write about that one day :-) I suppose it’s mostly the camera/lens you have but are there any secrets to getting a crisp clear and totally in focus subject?? I’m looking for a new lens for my camera and cannot decide!!
