Candice - Hi, Love your photos, as always. I'm noticing that your apertures are mostly 2.0 or less. How are your pics so crisp? Do you stand further back? Also, where is your favorite spot to focus on with couples and in groups of 4 or more? I have been experiementing with different spots lately, wanted to know your fav. Thanks for any help!

Melissa Jill :) - Hey Jessica! You're right -- I totally could have lowered my ISO and my shutter speed. I was just shooting on the fly and that's what I ended up with. The high end cameras are so good now at higher ISOs, that you don't have to worry too much.

jessica - Beautiful photos, but I was just wondering about the last set. Your shutter speed is so high and your ISO is at 500. Why wouldn't you choose a lower ISO and opt for a lower shutter? I still have much to lean and am very curious why you chose this setting: ) Please don't take offence to my asking

katie - I absolutely love the fact that you give the "behind the lens" EXIF data. Love it. Thank you.

MARTHA ELIZ - THIS WAS SO GREAT AND HELPED ME ALLOT.

Jenny - SO true :) Thanks for putting so much hard work into your blog posts... it really shows and you're really giving back to the community :)

Kari Jeanne - So sad this is the last one!! These posts have truly helped me SO much - I just did an e-shoot in the 'downtown' of my 3000 population town (and believe me, it's not a quaint, pretty area at all - photo evidence on my blog!) and used your tips and the couple LOVED how they turned out :) THANK YOU so much for sharing and just being so wonderful :)

Jenn Valluzzo - I've loved this series Melissa, especially this post. So true and so great. Thanks!

Aby Rouhi - I love your info and I thanks you for your hard work and time.
