Hi Guys,
This is my first post here, seems like a great community.
I really enjoy photography, I know the basics (shutter, aperture, DOF etc...) I currently own a Nikon D70 with the included kit lens (I think it's 28-70 might be wrong though)...
Anyway, my wife is expecting and I really want to be able to capture some nice pics of our baby. I've been seeing some real nice pics of various photographers of close ups of baby feet (or in some cases the feet are in focuse and the rest of the body isn't) other nice pics of the face with shallow depth of field... etc...
I wanted some suggestions on a lens I might need to take such shots. (I'm guessing I'll prob need a fast lens 1.8 or 1.4?!?! not sure what mm though)
Also wondering if it might be an idea to get some type of light I can setup to use instead of flash...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Chaim
