Quoted: Pulling the trigger on new photo gear always gives me a warm fuzzy. Congrats, hope you have lots of fun with it! I plan on it. My daughter graduates this June..I'm not ending up with either under exposed blurry pics or ones with so much noise it looks like a snow storm..  |

2.8 will help, but don't get too exicted yet! Like HK940 said, you are going to need more light or everyone stand real still. Now get a high end body with high ISO to low noise ratio and you can do wonders! When I jumped from an XTi to a 5D, it was like jumping from film to digital. It is amazing what I can do at 1600 ISO on my 5D or 3200 ISO on my 7D compared to my XTi. This time last year I was shooting with my XTi at my sons graduationi. This friday I get to try out the 7D with the 70-200 2.8 at my daughters graduation.
What body are you shooting? |
