All about my week…
I finished my 2-part series on White Balance Setting for Mixed Lighting – Part 1 and Part 2. In the second part, I talk about how to deal with mixed lighting situations when one of the sources is your flash.
I posted a video for VIPs only, where I talk about extreme photoshopping.
I posted a video where I show you five last-minute gadget gifts that would be great for anyone this holiday season.
I’ve been messing around with the Nikon D50 in the SnapChickLab. I took it out on a field trip last weekend to Northern Arizona. And then I posted a video where I talked about how you can take great photos with an older body and it’s kit lens or maybe a prime lens. There are also photos and a video for VIPs.
Chick at Nite this week was a Question of the Day video about how I light my videos and the SnapChick Friday Morning Rewind was from my holiday shoot last year.
I posted a VLOG from Wupatki National Monument and some photos during the week too… I posted a photo of my newest obsession – Candy Cane Oreos! Another was of my shoes in the snow before I went on a run. I show you what they looked like after the run in the video below! This week I also showed you a couple photos from Northern Arizona.

The Nikon D50 has been in the SnapChickLab – I’ve been getting some amazing results! In the video below, I talk to you about using an older body to get great shots. Take a look at the examples below… Would you guess that they were taken with a 8-year old DSLR??
The studio shot was taken with the 85mm and the on-location shot was taken with the 18-55. I’ll be posting more of my thoughts on the D50 soon but I’ve been pleasantly surprised at the results I’m getting – especially when I put a prime lens on it!

This week…
I finished up with the Nikon D5000 in the SnapChickLab. Now there are three videos on it – a Meet & Greet, a Body Tour & Menu Walkthrough Plus Info Display, and How I Set My Nikon D5000.
I continued my Studio Lighting Tour with a video on continuous fluorescent lighting. Part 1, which contained photos, was posted last week. Part 2, posted this week, has more photos and videos for everyone!
In a VIP-only Question of the Day, I gave my VIPs tips on taking group portraits at parties.
Chick at Nite this week was a video where I answered which DSLR is best – a super-popular topic during the holiday season!
The SnapChick Friday Morning Rewind was from a shoot two years ago with Nicole Renee, a beautiful model who had a million poses ready to go! I had so many photos that I ended up breaking up the post into three parts! You can start with Part 3 here.
I posted a VLOG about one of my favorite holiday traditions and a photo of Mischief the Cat at the vet.

I’ve been a busy SnapChick in the last couple weeks…
I collaborated with Squarespace and a viewer on a very exciting project. Squarespace offers a quick and easy all-in-one solution for your online portfolio and Steve Kempfe is a photography student who wanted to create an online presence. So I did a portfolio makeover for him using Squarespace!
The Nikon D5000 has been in the lab for a couple weeks now. I’ve posted two videos on it – a Meet & Greet and a Body Tour & Menu Walkthrough Plus Info Display.

Chick at Nite last week was from a video where I talked about building a Nikon DX lens system for recreational photography and Chick at Nite this week was from a super fun shoot when I was in Chicago!

I also shared a few other photos from my trip to Northern Arizona. A few foggy Grand Canyon photos and then some more from a chilly walk in Flagstaff. I also posted a photo of the setup for my SnapChick Lens Test of DOOM and my new awesome LEGO phone case! Also, a new lens.
I posted a couple VLOGs… One where I talked to you about how I thought I broke my toe (I didn’t). Then one on Thanksgiving morning when I was cooking.
