Remember... ISO3200 that is 1 stop underexposed is more grainy than ISO6400 that is exposed right. If your subject does not move a whole lot, dont be afraid to shoot at 1/30 or 1/15 of a sec. Brace the camera against a wall, chair, pole or anything you can find to minimize camera shake.

This is when an expensive lens come to play. 35L shot wide open (1.4) is pretty darn sharp. I personally would shoot that 50mm 1.8 wide open... not sure how sharp it is but for that situation I want all the light I can get.

For some reason it won't let me upload a previous picture from a family members wedding. They had an outdoor wedding, but the pictures were super grainy. I am going to see if I can get it on here so you know what I am talking about. Anyway.. thanks for all the advice! very helpful!

It was probably super grainy because your exposure was way off

So what settings would you have used for the shot I had?

Thanks! That is a huge problem of mine.. I really hate to go below 1/50th hand held. I sike myself out!

I have shot 135mm 1/30. Go try it. Go to a corner of a wall, grab that wall with your left hand, rest the lens on the top base of your thumb, use super low shutter.

Your first priority right now is to learn how to use a speedlite attached to the camera. Learn how to bounce the flash.
