Captain,
I certainly agree that everything can't be had from a forum, and as you have obviously noticed there are many people who think that photography is a lot more simple than it really is. Given that, those who know more can certainly just take a few minutes to point those who know less in the right direction, where they'll start to understand just how much of an investment it will take. From there they can take it or leave it.

Dang - all those wasted years practicing, going to week-long workshops, entering print competitions, studying lighting, posing, composition, investing $$ in lighting systems.....

I am only pointing out that one cannot learn how to get that look without hours and hours of effort and at least some hands-on training accompanied by some pretty honest critique - not the critique offered on forums, but hard nosed, I-don't-care-if-I-hurt-your-feelings evaluations.

So Louie, you are right to ask questions, but a blanket."How do I make it look like that?" makes it tough to give a decent answer - an answer that is truly helpful.

I agree 100% - I was hoping to get Louie to ask specific questions, not something so broad.
It is one thing to ask where lights were placed, but "how did you get that look," entails way too many disciplines.

You're good with the camera for now. That camera can produce really good results with the right knowledge to go with it. When you're using the 18-55 with people just try to have it zoomed in all the way and move yourself to get the correct framing. Otherwise I would use the 50mm most of the time with people if I were limited to the equipment that you have. This will prevent the distortion effects that you have in some of the photos you posted earlier.
Look up the points that I posted earlier, and the information that you'll find while doing that, and you'll be well on your way!

Learn to take photos that look like those bounce flash one of the couples and you are on your way. A photograph must reflect reality or life and if shows how it,s done with glaring flash and or lack of flash they can be lsers at a basketball game shoot bounce and high speed asa or try available light at 3200 or 6400. Also it takes practice so wear the hell out of digital camera shooting 100,s of photos sometime over and over till you get good at taking ther same shot with the same results time after time and you are in charge and your camera is the slave to you being the master.
