Envy is me.
This is a photographer I discovered on Flickr whose work makes my heart hurt with envy. I want to be this good. And could it be effortless, too? Thanks.

Hmmm.....two points, for you.
1) Beautiful children are easy to make beautiful picures from.
2) A good lens and lighting are also things that I noticed about those photos...do you have a nice non-distorting macro lens? Your digital camera is probably wide-anglish, which will make even a pretty baby whacked.
In short, you can do it, too! Just study the photos =)
Thanks for the encouragement. I think sesame has some lighting tricks I need to know. She has a better camera (Nikon D200) than I and undoubtedly better lenses, but that shot is a 17mm wide angle.
I have a Nikon D70 digital SLR with the 18-70mm F3.5-4.5 kit lens and one prime 35mm Nikkor 2.4 lens. I still primarily use Program mode with Auto white balance since I have a tendency to be inattentive and most of my photos are taken at family events where my focus is divided.
I basically need to relearn the technical stuff, practice a lot more, and post more for feedback. But there's just so many other things to do in a day. Like earn a living and update my design portfolio... that was the effortless part of the request. ;-)
hmmmm...well, i think it's more about seeing through your heart than it is about hardware...but those kids in those pictures were like totally in modeling mode, probably took like an hour ...also, the macro lens i like for face shots, i was referring actually to the other photos in that portfolio, not the obviously wide-angle one =-)
myself...hmm, i have a cute photo that i took of a kid recently...i can send it to you =) actually, i was technically impeded at the time...
So how's the weather in the Emerald City? And your attempt to chameleonize yourself with the coffee drinking fetish?
I mentioned my hardware since you mentioned lenses. :P Also, I believe (perhaps naively) that I have a much better handle on shooting from the heart than I do on the hardware and photographic technique. :-)
Weather is very sunny again and coffee drinking also going well, though to clarify that came mostly from the husband rather than society at large. ;-)
=) Yeah, very hot here too, on planet Violet. Vivace makes a mean Iced caramel soy latte (osunds nasty, but it's yummy, well, if you don't mind plopping doen 4 bucks for a drink)....but nice in this weather (or that weather, as the case may be). That knitting thing is brilliant, wish I have thought of it...have a lot of those projects....mostly started when the yarn doesn't look as good knitted as it did on the ball...and I am sure there's a bigger lesson in there somewhere...) do you knit?
-Violet, Mr. Violet.
I don't knit, but my mom does. :)
