I did a paid job last night for an Indian couple who were celebrating their son's first birthday, just thought I'd share a few of my favourite shots from the night here. C&C if you like or feel free to edit them. These were all taken with my Canon 40d and 50mm f1.4. I was initially using my 17-55 2.8 and using the flash (430ex) but wasn't getting the results I wanted, so I went to the 50 and upped the ISO. I think the noise is a good tradeoff for being able to get the look I wanted. I did however make the crucial mistake of taking a lot of group and coupled posed photos with a wide aperture, and in a lot of the shots I have one or two or more blurred faces and only one in sharp focus. I should have stopped down to about f/3.5 or so and used a bit of flash - lesson learned there.
