36. Good at Post-Processing?

This is where you can adjust color, contrast, sharpness, cropping, etc. Sometimes shooting like a crazy person is great if you are good at editing from there. I had a friend who shot over a thousand frames a day for over a year (Digital of course... I graduated with a BA in Photo before film had given up the ghost. 1,000 frames a day in film would have been an astronomical cost) He spent most of his time post-processing. All he was looking for was perfect focus. Everything else he could adjust for. My Pentax DSLR can shoot 14 fps... and that's a "prosumer" camera, several steps below a professional camera.

You know all of this of course. This photographer obviously has a good eye. And damn if she doesn't have reliable dependable subjects. I would bet she totes her camera everywhere and goes for walks with the kids when she knows there will be good light. She has baby animals, cute kids, good light... why not take tons of photos?

I didn't get a sense that the photos were manipulated per se. But i wonder how many pictures it took to get to the ones we see?

Lots of shallow depth of field. Ones with dogs may have been done with the Brenitzer technique Bernardo de La Paz Feb 2020 #29
