10000% fraud! Prices are unrealistic. Serious online shops don’t provide Western Union service. This website should be banned!

Great pictures. I would say, no matters if it is your first wedding or 100th, the most important is general photographic knowledge and experience. You did very good job!

I think in the first picture, focus ran on shoes :)

IMHO, but this pic should go straight to the bin. All I can see here is burned picture, nothing else.

Hi Shaunie,

Good start. Streight to the point. To shoot cars is not an easy. The first question is-what do you want to show. If it is a car in general, stand away from a car at least 15-20m, zoom as close as you can (Distance depends on type of lens, bigger zoom-bigger distance you need between camera and the car). That will give you more professional effect and bigger shallow bacground. Try to fill frame with the subject, do not leave a lot of empty space around the car.

Good luck

Well, the first of all, Nikon D7000 18-105VR and Canon 550D 18-55 are uncomparable two cameras because they belong to a different level – D7000 is semi-pro and Canon 550D is amateur camera.

The second, it is better to check both cameras, how it feels in your hands, which is more comfortible for you to handle, to set up, maybe chech even a Pentax.

As 20 years experienced photographer you should know that not a camera makes a good pictures but phototographers do.

Good luck

I mean would the Camera body be able to cope with the lenses. The processor in the camera. I thought I might need a more powerful camera other than the Nikon D90. I was in Conn’s Camera shop looking at a serious lenses and they told me I would be better off using a different body as the D90 wouldn’t be fast enough to process the data from the lenses to the camera if I were to take sport shots.

IMO, but this is the biggest crap I’ve ever heard. How can people even think like that. Lens is just a light provider for camera.

I would say this one is really impresive.

Comparing Nikon D700 and Canon D5Mk2 I would go for Canon even if I am a Nikon man. The reason is: 21Mp is better in cropping on software and as far as I know this C works better in low light condition. 21Mp doesn’t effect noise level, it depends on ISO quality.

However, paying €2000 for a new gear + at least €2000 for a quality FF lens = it is a lot of money. Maybe staying with D300s and buying better lenses would help you to save extra.

To answer to your Q, I would go for Canon.

Another thing about your pictures, Stevie, the first one, your tree is out of focus. Another prob is that lens has no IS so your pictures is little bit of blur. To avoid blur while you pressing shutter button, use remote control or 2sec. self-timer.

Good luck

after Jenny ,

the first question is :

is it kit lens with IS or without IS, (kit without IS is a probably the worst lens ever made by canon), so resol is , dump this lens and buy simple 50mm F/1.8 (probably the cheapest lens ever made by canon ;-) ;-) ) but You will see biiiiiiiig differeces :-)

chris

Let me remind you that Stevie is interested in a landscape photography not in a portrait which 50mm is the best. For landscape photography I would recommend Tamron AF 17-50mm F2.8 XR Di II (Canon mount). This lens is wide and very sharp. You can get it for €275.

The biggest difference between ISO 100 and 200 is not to reduce noise level using ISO 100 but to reduce shutter speed (twice reduce sensor sensitivity). This is very useful photographing on a sunny day or using studio equipment. Visually it is difficult to notice noise difference between iso 100 and 200 but the amount of light coming to camera sensor is very noticeable.

Hi EMC and everyone,

Short share of my experience in the same situation. talking about photographing weddings in church, this is my the most favorite part in a whole wedding. To be honest, I cannot wait to enter the church and start shooting candid, bride walking down the aisle, ect. Why is that? Because I love to shoot using my 50mm f1.4 lens. I always use this lens in church, I set aperture – 1.4, ISO 800 and forget about any flash and high noise. Even if church is a bit dark, pictures look bright and amazing. If I need wide angle, I use 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6, set ISO 800, f3.5 and shutter speed around 1/20-1/30. this will guaranty me a bright pictures.

Good luck.

If you shooting using wide angle lens around 17 to 28mm I would use f6.3 or f7.1 ( depends how many rows), this will focus all people and blurr background. If you use 35 to 50mm – f at at least 8 up to 11.

What setting to use for good result depends on many things such as: how much light there is in the church, what type of lens you are using and the camera itself. Canon5d mk2 is a great camera which easelly removes noise using high iso in a low light condition. For full frame camera I would recommend 85mm f/1.4 or f/1.8 for shooting the bride walking down the aisle. Using f/1.4 or f/1.8 ISO 800 is way too enaugh. If you have other type of lens which is less light, set higher ISO and shorter speed. For slowly walking people
1/60 is enaugh. Using flash in the church is very unprofessional.

I shoot wedding last week, equipment I had was Nikon d60 + 50mm f/1.4 and 18-55 f/3.5-5.6. I used 50 f1.4 ISO 800 all the time in the church
and results are better than good. I will post a photo next week as an example.

Good luck
