I get a lot of emails and messages on facebook asking about my camera equipment and photo editing software. So I thought I would go ahead and put that all on here for you!
I used to exclusively shoot with Nikon. I started out with a D40 then quickly upgraded to the D90. Just before Parker was born I really wanted to upgrade to the D7000 or higher. The D7000 was out stock for a long time, a LONG TIME! I was panicky so I sold on my Nikon gear and switched to Canon. I purchased the Canon 60D. I really wish I could have gone with a full frame body, but with a baby coming I just couldn't financially do it. Next time!
I went ahead and purchased the Kit lens as well because I was unfamiliar with Canon and had no clue what lens I wanted. Typically it comes with the 18-135MM 3.5 which I what I went with. I don't use this lens often, but its great for outdoors and in well lit areas.
F4.5 1/640 ISO-200 SOOC
After I had my body for a bit I went ahead and picked up two other lenses. I had a Sigma 18-50MM 2.8 wide with my Nikon and decided to go ahead and pick one up for my Canon. While not a true wide angle lens for my budget it works great and rarely ever comes off my camera.
F/5 1/400 ISO-200 SOOC
The other lens I picked up I also had for my Nikon and that is the 50MM 1.8 prime (or fixed) I love this lens too because it is fabulous for low and light and its very inexpensive! I must not use it too often because I can't find a photo I've taken with it.
So for editing I used Lightroom 2. I also have CS6 and PSE11 I don't use either of these for my photos, but I do use them to edit project photos. For my photos a lot I will do some minor adjustments and then typically with run some Lightroom presets. I use Pretty Presets and Itty Bitty presets.
I use quite the set-up to photograph my projects and I will post all that information in another post. Hope this was helpful! Feel free to email and or comment with questions.
LOVE my 60d--it's my first DSLR!
