thanks mtnman. my aim is to get better..

thanks apaflo. I did mention I was a beginner...I can make some minor adjustments but those other things mention will take some learning..just what I need though to get better photograghs. thanks again.

thank photo friends... I used a d7000 with a sigma 17-70 lens attached..

thanks.... and tough it was...

last week I took some wedding photos for a friend of mines..the wedding took place in a poorly light small livingroom..2 daylight fluorescent lamps on one side of the room and 2 incandescent lamps on the other side..there was a white ceiling so i tried to override the ambient lighting with flash trying not to blow things out..here is a couple of examples...and im just a beginner so be easy on the critiquing. hope the pictures loaded ok. the first photo I used 2 sb600 flashes 45 degrees left and right of subjects...in the second photo I bounced the flash off the ceiling..

I will be using flash....good thing is the room have a white ceiling. I guess the 17-70 and my nifty fifty will have to do this time. thanks peeps.

I have the sigma 17-70 contemporary...the newer lense.
I will be inside in a livingroom with not to much light. thought about the 70-200 but don't think I have the room for it..

a friend of mine want me to take a few wedding photos for him. he wants some full body shots of him and his wife when they are married. Im using a d7000 with a sigma 17-70 lense. thinking about renting the Nikon 24-70 for the same purpose...full body shots... will the nikor 24-70 be any wider on the d7000 than the sigma 17-70? or what other lense would be perfect for the situation? thanks for any input photo friends.

maybe I can put the main and hair light in one group and the fill in the other group.

yeah I kinda want a main light, a fill light and a hair light..with different settings.

they may possibly work sonny.. thanks I will give it a try.

I have 2 sb600 speed lights and want to get 3rd speed light to use as a kicker. my d7000 only have group a and group b. how can I get control for 3 speed lights? will I have to combined it with one of the others or do I need pocket wizards for this kind of setup? thanks in advance for your responses..

very nice sugestions..I will be putting them to use...thanks photos guys.

thanks ptotodon.. those are some helpful tips. I will consider one ore 2 of them..

thanks fuzzy. I may make me something to save money..
