There is talk that Canon needs to update the 135mm f/2L lens but I just do not see how it could be improved in any way. It is clearly my best lens.

article: How to Set the Price for Your Photography

I was asked recently how much I would charge to do a group portrait. As I do not normally do portraits I was stumped for a response. This article has given me a starting point to come up with one.

Went back to a site I had not visited in a long time and found this interesting article on lighting a face.

580EX II & Lightsphere

560EX II & Lightshpere, originally uploaded by Music Man5.

I was doing a product shoot and needed a little more light. As my light stands were being used to display the products I got out my trusty Lightsphere and it provided just what I was looking for. This is not a great photo or anything, I just wanted to show how the LS can be useful to have in the bag.
