I wonder if the Tamron SP90 can produce something similar?

guys, which lens is affordable, and wide ? for my d7000. thanks smile.gif

18-70mm is good for a start. or if u're referring to prime kind of wide, 35mm.

on side note, thanks for the reply bro aldo. i myself find the bit of hut roof and the right bottom corner stone walkway quite distracting too.

D90 + 50mm f/1.8D
1/160 sec
f/3.2
ISO 1000
without flash unit - regretted very much for not lending one, since I don't own one.

Hence, vearn27, I'd strongly suggest you to get a flash unit and learn it quick in time for the event. You might not be an expert within a day, but it can certainly be very helpful especially when you're counting on your kit lens to deliver. You still have a few days to practise and get a little used to it; or maybe get someone experienced to give you a crash course smile.gif

Chillax bro lol. First things first: kindly add spoiler tags to the images that you quote. It's rather annoying to see repetition of images.

I'm guessing the images were fresh from your camera. A little bit of post-processing to enhance the images would be nice. For example, the colour of the flower in the third image could easily be enhanced.

Though your flower looks a bit OOF there. smile.gif

And a little to add on the last image (with the danger sign on the fence): I thought it'd look more interesting to include more of the background building. That, of course, is my humble opinion. Keep posting smile.gif

Chinese Wedding?
Flash gun is highly recommended. It doesn't matter if you have prime with f/1.4, most probably you're not going to use wide aperture and bokeh is pretty much useless unless for specific special shots. You need to capture movement, moments, you need fast shutter speed. When they're playing those games, you can't afford to miss those moments or blur shots caused by slow shutter. Indoors, depending on the house,etc it might be crowded and the lightings might also be poor, shooting group photo, you're not going to risk using big aperture to compensate for the light, you need to get more in focus and people don't have time to wait for you to adjust here and there and keep reviewing your photo and re-take, it's better to be more assured that you got the shots.

Then the more challenging part, the wedding reception? Depending on the location, the lightings can go even worst especially inside the ballroom and the ceilings may be very high. The important moment, the couple walk-in, the lights will be off and you don't have much time to take the as many shots as you can; You don'y really have time to check and review your photo as the couple will be walking in. You wouldn't want to ruin these important moments..... They don't stop for your to take photo and adjust your camera settings, plus, the spotlights might mess with your photo...

People may say the D7000 have great ISO, but that doesn't mean you don't need flash and doesn't mean there will be low noise, you might be using ISO above 1000 easily for indoors even will wide aperture... will smaller aperture, easily it will go up to ISO 3200 or even higher. Under expose and your images will be filled with noise/grain that is worst than higher ISO.
And without the help of flash to fill in the shadows, those spotlights, etc will cause your subject to have shadow on their faces, etc.

Just my cheap 2 shutter clicks.

I second that; and might I add, WB counts too. smile.gif
