Which lens works best for a 18th Birthday celebration!
May 10, 2012 17:39:38 #
I know that I can get good advice here. Thanks in advance for the advice. My niece is having a 18th B-Day party. The theme is going to be "a red carpet event". Guest will be wearing black and white, B-day girl will be In red. I will be the person taking photos. When guest arrive and walk the red carpet they will get there pictures took in front of a backdrop with all the peoples names who put the b-day party together. Finally my questions. What's the best canon lens to use? Should I use a external flash or a studio light? The time of day will be 7pm out side if the weather is dry in June 2012.

As above. I would also look at 24-70/28-75 so you are not in their face and have the benefit of 50mm also.

BEST Canon lens to use?
Impromptu portraits against a backdrop where you aren't moving and you have a steady stream of guests stop to get their picture taken?
No question: the 135mm f/2.
The sharpest and best-looking-shot producing lens Canon makes in my opinion.

Prime lenses give great images, but create framing problems. The 24-70mm F2.8 can adjust to nearly all indoor framing challenges and perform well in low light. The images from it are very sharp.

You have to move in or out to get the shot you want. With a zoom, the lens does it for you.

I know the difference I was wondering what "framing problems" it caused.
