Can others edit my Photos
Photos OK to edit
I will be doing some team pictures, no action shots, and was wondering if I should use my wide angle on all the pictures or if I should use my 28-300 lens.
 
Shoot with a small enough aperture to make sure everyone is in focus.
 
What do you mean by small aperture?
 
What kind of camera are you using? If you look on your lens it will say something like f/4-5.6. This is the largest aperture that your lens is capable of at certain points of zoom. By using a small aperture(large f/#, like 16) you will be able to focus on the whole team instead of having a few people in focus and others not in focus. This is called depth of field or DOF. You want a large depth of field when shooting a team picture. On your cameras setting you should be able to adjust the aperture to suit your needs.
 
What are you referring to when you say "wide-angle". First of all you should use the fastest lens you have also, while you want to have a lens wide enough to get an entire team in the shot you do not want to get so wide that you start to get distortion.
