I love seeing what the best quick fix tools are or the ones you use the most. It’s also fun just to see the different photo ideas and locations.
I would love to hear more about using the light available indoors and out to your benefit.
Hey Rebecca!
I would love to know your work flow in photoshop.
I love reading about actions and new ways to use them! Thanks for the ella article! I always come to your blog for inspiration and love that you are from Alberta too!
I love reading about easy ways to make a photo better. I new to editing and I really like your way of showing how to do it!

I would love to know more about your lighting styles.

I love your blog and your new ebook – I’m reading it for a second time now! I would love to learn more about photographing children in action. I often get out my camera during playdates to get unposed shots of the kids, but I’m often disappointed with the results. I just purchased my first dSLR, so that might help, but any tips you can pass along would be terrific. I admire your photography work and would love to see more of your scrapbook pages too! 🙂
I would like more tips on photographing candidly, I really enjoy posed shots as the people sit still but generally children are on the go all the time and those shots are blurred.
I would love to read more about depth of field, I love the look on photos, but want to improve it on mine. I would love to read about anything that helps improve my photography. Thanks for sharing your ideas and the chance at the giveaway.
Tips on helping people relax for the photo shoot and wardrobe suggestions.
I love all the info about photoshop. But I have no idea how to begin using it. So maybe some tips on that??? Or maybe I just need to hire you to teach me how to use it! Know of any classes or good books or anything for a total photoshop beginner?
I would like to know more about layering on elements, I have elements but I really don’t know what to do with it!
I’d love to read more about photoshop and how you make your colors pop!
I’d like to learn a bit more about how to streamline my workflow and cut down on the thousands of photos I have piling up on my computer. It seems like I always have a couple hundred shots to go through and it’s just daunting… so I leave it and keep adding, and adding, and adding…
I love the Ella Publishing website and have purchased a few books, including yours. I’m planning to spend some time today reading and (hopefully) getting some much needed inspiration!
Your book looks awesome! I’m always interested to read how photographers interact and pose people.
what to do in low lighting situations pretty please:)
I’d love to know some tips for shooting weddings. DH and I are taking photos for his sister’s wedding in November and I’m totally nervous. EEKS!
I would like to hear about lenses
I would love some advice on how to take better outdoor photos, when the light isn’t ideal.
Hello,
I “use” elements but don’t really know how to use it. Would like to know how to “organize a childs shoot or make every days photos like you because mine doesn’t look yours!!!!
I’d love to hear more about using actions, or other quick tips for editing photos. Seems that takes so much time for me, doesn’t leave time for actually scrapping the photos!
Thanks so much!!
Like others have said – I would like easy tips for those indoor, low-light shots. I hate using the flash (even on my dSLR), but sometimes you can’t avoid it. I’d like to know how to better use that flash (or any necessary accessories like a speedlight) or how to still get a good picture without the flash.
Thanks!
I want to learn about getting crisper pictures, and depth of field. and photoshopping. really, everything!
I would love to know more about your camera in general. I’ve been itching to get a “real” camera since I took a photography class in high school. I just have a point and shoot right now. I’d also like to know more about the rule of thirds and more about pics w/o peeps in them. Nature shots I guess. I LOVED your book btw. Fantabulous. My sister (who has a nice camera – grumble) was saying how she wanted your new book and I bragged about how I won it!! (I think she was jealous for like 2 minutes.) pahaha. Thanks again Rebecca!! L
I just love to read anything about photography…you always have such good quick ideas! I love to learn more about photoshop always!!
I’m intersted in learning how to use photoshop (anything there… ;o) and how to take pictures with blurry backgrounds – you see, I don’t have a clue about photography but would love to learn as much as I can :o)
Thank you!
I would love to hear more on a variety of topics. I’m learning my camera on manual, but am always looking for tips on lighting, candid shots, photoshop, you name it!
Learning how to photograph indoors would be so helpful to me.
I would love ot learn more about composition….how you choose to take the shot you take.

Okay, I would love to learn how to get the great sunflare shots that I see all over the place now. I have tried and tried with no luck, what’s the secret?
Beautiful family picture by the way!
how do you get the rounded corners when you post your pics?
I would love to learn more about indoor lighting, if you ever use it, etc.
I love your family pic-so cute 🙂
Melia
I’d love to learn how to make adjustments to my photos to make them pop like yours do!
Hmmm I think I would be most interested in simple photoshop actions… like a long time ago I used how to do the curves action tool from you and I am ALWAYS using it now!
I would love to learn more about photoshop. I am new to it and don’t understand a lot about it. any pointers you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
I would love to learn how to deal with poor indoor light. I need specifics about where the light should be coming from, what time of day, etc. to get good pictures without a flash.
I would love to learn more about actions. Or, perhaps how to use my point-and-shoot camera better – I carry that one around in my purse and use it the most (that SLR is just too big and heavy to car around everwhere)!
Thanks!

I love reading about quick fixes. I really don’t like sitting at my computer spending ages fixing photos; I’d rather be printing & scrapping them:)
Trying to learn about ISO, aperture, shutter speeds and more on my own through books, blogs, and websites. Really interested in knowing techniques to take great indoor shots (think holidays and celebrations) without a flash in limited light. BTW-Your photography is stunning and inspiring.
I don’t know if I qualify to win (since we are family), but if you’re looking for topics – I’d love to learn more about editing photos!
Beautiful photos Rebecca!! Love reading your blog for inspiration:) I’d love to know more about processing photos in Photoshop as well as what a typical photoshoot is like from a photographer’s POV. How often do you change settings or lenses…etc.
equipments, lenses in particular. Would also love if you could list the ISO/f-stop used on the photos displayed. Go Ella!
I love your pictures. I would love to lean more about how yo photograph kids so well. How do you get them to stay still, look at the camera, and look somewhat pleasant. I also find it interesting to hear what kind of cameras/lenses people use. Also if you happen to carry around a point and shoot camera in your purse or something for quick last minute photos, what kind of camera you have.
I’d like to know how to decide what settings to use, is there a quick and easy guide to figure out what the ISO and aperture should be? I feel like my camera has so much potential and I just don’t know how to harness it.
I feel like I need to learn so much in photoshop. I would like to see more actions. I would like to see your workflow on a photo. I would also like some pointers on posing children and teens.
Thanks so much
Would love to know more editing tips – particularly batch editing – there has to be a better way than running the same action on every picture in the bunch right? I would also love to know what your go to settings are for everyday shots. It is great to learn about adjusting the settings on my DSLR and I love playing with them, but I find myself shooting in Aperture Priority or Auto for the day to day, life with 3 kids photos. What settings do you use to capture the “2 year old fell in the bath fully clothed and wants to get back out before you get a picture” moments? Also, love love your blog!
I would love to learn more about what lenses are best when and how to get myself of the auto mode!
Thanks
I have a general understanding of using layers in photoshop, but I know I am not utilizing them to their full capacity… I would love to see more in depth info on using layers.
learning about posing kids, and how to make their faces photo so clear – and make the catch lights in their eyes pop
thanks for the giveaway
I would LOVE to learn more about lighting. I’m desperate! If you could only see the pictures I’ve been taking lately… Ugh!
I would like to know what you are saying to your models. What do you do to those who are a little stiff?
I too would love to hear more about your workflow. Actually, I would love to learn anything you might want to share. Such pretty photos!
