I want my background to be a bit overexposed. not really to be more out of focus or more blurred.

Yup. I understand that he angle against the sun is a factor. But in instances that the situation can only give me this angle, can center weighted or spot metering works? Can fill flash work as well?

I just brought my camera for group shots and just so happen that the couple is free to pose for a few shots before I went home. I created a thread in the critic corner but somehow my thread isn't still there and I need your help. Shots taken with d90 + 55-200 kitlens. PIC 1 - How...

1. in what area is critique to be sought? Shots were taken after my friends ROM. I just asked them to pose for a couple of shots using my D90 with 55-200VR kitlens. In the first pic, The shadow on the face of the bride is quite dark. Can this be overcome during actual shoot?I know it was...

True. As someone new to this field, priority is to educate themselves. You can't justify any upgrade or any new purchase if your knowledge is little and so limited. I read a lot of topics asking whether to upgrade, which one to buy first, do i need this or is it a must, etc. If you understand...

maybe he's just thinking that there are more appropriate lenses to use for this kind of photo shoot.

very well said. dslrs nowadays become obsession to some. alot are itchy to upgrade equipment and buy expensive lenses without even exploring what their kitlens or current set-up can provide them.they give so much time in reading than practice. I myself can confess that I've been reading alot of...

I agree. You should know by now what kind of photos you usually take. Of course we take photos from 17mm-200mm and beyond. But with the problem you laid down, which is to chose which to buy first, it's just choosing which focal length you use more often. If you know the answer, then just buy the...

Have you tried the cameras that you have listed? Base from your "wants" in a camera, I see that your budget is the limiting factor for choosing. Choosing a body is just the first step. You also need to plan for your lens line up. I tell you, that's the most difficult part to budget. Look at...
