Recording an album C&C

I have another shot like #2 where he's centered better, but his expression dosen't work as well in it. The room was quite a challenge, as you can tell I had the iso bumped up pretty high, but I had to keep the shutter around 1/45 to keep the subjets sharp. I've got a few too many shots at about 1/10-1/15 where the room and background is nice and clear but the subjet is just a blur, and I didn't want to ask him in the middle of a take if he could hold still. I'll post a few more shots of the room in a bit.

I'm new to photography. Most of my questions are dumb.

Now that is out of the way, What kind of lens is used in picture three and is it a wide angle? Thanks for the time.

It's an 18-55 at 18mm (according to exif). Which is considered wide, but for most DSLR's that are not the full-frame type, you would consider 10-17 ultra wide.

You can get an exif viewer here for free (if you have a compatible browser):
Exif viewer : Opanda IExif - Professional EXIF / GPS / IPTC Viewer & Editor in Windows, IE & Firefox
That would allow you to view photo details by right clicking and choosing the exif viewer. Since you said your new, if all this is confusing, I would suggest starting a new thread and opening a discussion with the questions you have related to this.

That night was probably the most I've used my 18-55 kit lens. My usual go to lens (tamron 28-135mm 4-4.5) just wasn't cutting it. The tamron is a FF lens, so I lose quite of its field of view on my d5000, the 18-55 is a little faster on the wide end and I needed all the light I could get.

My next lens will probably be a prime in the 12-20mm range.
