Hello All,
I'm sorry to be a pest and probably asking the same old question but I am hoping for help and advise.
On the 2nd Oct, I will be arranging to take some family photos (of my family, parents, brothers and new sister in law and a couple of my aunts and uncles family), and I have never done anything like this before and want to make it as good as I possibly can (not like anyone goes into these things wanting to be bad).
I will be taking the photos at one of my aunts house, its an old barn conversation which has nice high cellings and a big stair way and a light balcony with some sofa's for people to sit and others to stand behind.
I have a Nikon D50 (a little dated now but should still do the job), with a 18mm-70mm zoom lens and Ive ordered and waiting for a 50mm prime lens (thinking its better for quality protrait photos - Nikon Nikkor AF 50mm F1.8 f/1.8 D Lens). I have a standard tripod, with a UV filter on the 18mm-70mm lens but wont have anything for the prime.
I would like any and all pointers, anything from making it fun for the people having their photo taken, to taking the photos. Anything about the poses / postion, lighting, camera settings (although I would imagine its down to enviroment) and anything else I would need to know.
I thank you in advance,
Kind regards,
Shane
