New reader alert! Hi Rachel, I found your beautiful site from some online pursing and ferver. I love LOVE your photos! I too am a photographer (I bet you have heard that a kazillion times) but only just starting out, and I wonder HOW do you get such clarity on your photos? What lens are you using?
Well, they are just lovely. You have such a superb talent!

Kristen and Sandy, For these images I was shooting Canon Mark II, the 70-200 2.8L IS, and the 50mm 1.4. It's hard to answer the clarity question. There are a bunch of factors. Camera and lens help, but they are not everything. I start with very careful focusing. I make sure that my subject is perfectly in focus. I throw out a lot of good pictures because the eyes of my subject are soft and not tack sharp. ALso, I dodge and burn most of my images. Even though this doesn't make anything sharper it draws the eye to the subject and makes the image cleaner. Finally I use Kubota's Magic Sharp on everything. Have fun!
