Oh my gosh, the 7D is so crazy. I love it but it’s a little overwhelming right now! We did use the 7D, though we actually used the 24-70mm lens for this shoot because of it’s flexibility. But for every day use, I pretty much never go anywhere without the 7D and the 50mm. A match made in heaven, I say!

Well, we were laying down and the camera was just angled down. The tripod lets you put your camera in landscape or profile shot style, or you can just rotate it in Photoshop afterward! The old tripod that I was using was great, though it doesn’t have a brand listed and it was a gift so I’m not sure the exact details. I do know it was from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=tripod&x=0&y=0) and it was only $20! And the only reason it is broken is because my rambunctious feline friends knocked it over. (Thank goodness the camera wasn’t sitting on it!)

I love these pictures. You did a good job and the place is beautiful. Did you take these with your 7D and 50mm 1.4? I almost purchased that camera a couple of weeks ago but decided to stay with my 20D!

This is so sweet. I might steal the idea, and make a plan to take photos of us on our anniversary every year.

These are so beautiful, Sara. What an inspiration! I hope you’ll take portraits of me and my other if we’re ever nearby

I’m dying to know–how did you get the shot on the left with only a tripod and remote?

I know you said your tripod was broken, but which would you recommend? I’m tired of stacking up piles of books for my photos!
