Hi all -
I do photojournalistic style photo shoots with parents and their small children interacting in their own homes. I strongly prefer, for all the obvious reasons, to use natural light. But even positioning people near windows, using a VR lense, whatever I can do... the images are still softer than I would like and it's driving me nuts. I'm breaking down and getting an SB600 (and learning how to use it to look as "natural" as possible)... but does anyone have other suggestions about what to do? With small babies it's not a problem, because everyone is pretty still. But toddlers just don't stop moving!
Thanks in advance,
Amanda
(Also, I currently use a D40 but am upgrading to a D700, if it matters)
