This is my first post and I've yet to learn the rules of this forum, but I'm interested in lightening (brightening, I guess) my photos, and also softening them.
The picture style I'm referring to can be found on a lot of the satorialist's blog (if you read that one) or the Cherryblossomgirl.com blog...the shots are given softness no matter what situation they are in, but also crisp and clean.
I love that sort of photography - really light, airy, sort of muted and soft, and would love to learn how to do it.
I'm guessing they probably have the best cameras ever - I'm working with a cannon rebel T2i, and have the stock lens. I'm more than willing to buy a filter or whatever else if need be...I've been able to brighten the pictures up using the camera settings, but it's a harsher, sharper light usually and I'm wondering what I'm missing.
Please berate me if I'm in the wrong place
