    How high of ISO for Portrait

    rookies mentioned indoor portrait in the evening.....wrong light wrong place may be a given? There may be a chance that there is no light to reflect. Finding a room with enough light to shoot at 400iso may not be the answer here, during the day may be by the window or doorway.

    How high of ISO for Portrait

    I have been taking photo with just available light for a long time, yes you can get good picture with skill but why mess around with high iso. Having to have expensive high ISO capable camera and reduce noise post processing is a pain in the bum, especially when you got a good shot but end up...

    Canon 1ds Mk2 or 5d Mk1 ??

    I got a 5D on Sunday and its amazing! I just don't have the budget for a 1dsMK3 which is a shame. Using my 50mm 1.8 II the picture is amazing, higher ISO is much better than my 400d. Am I right to struggle to find a lens which is better than the 50mm with a budget? I need to shift my 400d and...

I am glad it did as I learn so much from my mistake and of course missed...
