DSLR Shots and Discussions

I've seen that, so close-up portraits are definitely NOT on the list of things to do. Like you assumed previously, it's probably going to be more group-based or full body

I've seen that, so close-up portraits are definitely NOT on the list of things to do. Like you assumed previously, it's probably going to be more group-based or full body shots. I was thinking I could use the 35 for groups, then switch to the kit lens for single full bodies. I guess? I can work with the raw file later (I always shoot in raw no matter what)

Ugh, the only other lens I have is the 55-200 kit lens that also is pretty bad in terms of F-stop. That thing gets no light! I want a tweener lens that goes in the middle, but can't justify ponying up the cash for good glass like that until I actually reach some kind of limiting / breaking factor on my current set of lenses. Don't feel confident enough I've maximized my use out of my current equipment.

Sounds like kit lens and some flash photography will be in line. We'll see how they come out. I need to buckle down and take a class or something on this, I'm horrible -_-

SB700 does have that white popup thingy.

Any tips for full body shots, I guess? Newbie friendly? <_<;

You can pick a 50mm f/1.8D for around $100, but it's manual focus only on your camera. No real trick to full body shots. You kind of have to work with what you have. Less clothing on women usually improve any shot I take You'll be fine with the hot cos-play chicks.
