Guys, need some serious help here.
I had a family dinner earlier with my relatives of about 30 pax in a restaurant private room. I brought my 40D + Tamron 17-50mm f2.8. Problem here is, the photos I took didnt come out as I expected. I dont care so much about the composition but I just feel the color is not vibrant enough.
I feel I am missing something. Can you guys advise? What camera settings I should have used?
Recommended settings
1. M? Tv? Av?
2. How much ISO?
3. How fast f-stop?
4. How much shutter speed?
I mean what's the recommended settings for indoor? I just played with Av and Tv. When my sister took shots, she used the auto portrait mode.
Now I know I need a 580EXII for indoor shots.
At the same time, I am going to Cameron on Merdeka so I will need a tripod even more.
Lastly, I am quite interested with macro shots, so I was considering the Canon 100mm Macro lens which will make a good portrait lens, yes? But it was discussed few pages back that a non-macro prime lens can do the job better, such as a 85mm f1.8 (but which brand were you guys talking about, gogo2 / vikingw2k)?
