the dark one is just a light in a parking garage. The rest are shot with off camera flash and an octobox. Camera is a pentax k5iis. prime lenses. My gear isn't even that up to date or anything. Just lots of practice and know-how. :manny:

Good light and good glass
I bit the bullet and bought that 18-105 lens and it's a pretty good lens. The video quality is great.

My 50mm is my baby though, its portraits are so clear. I need to find out how to make my pictures sharp using 6500. What settings do I need the camera on to achieve that.

Good light or a tripod so that you can shoot at a low ISO. Also find out what aperture that particular lens is sharpest at


What's 6500?

Can you explain this to me breh. Im a novice

Say a lens is like f1.8 it will more than likely be sharp at like f5.6 etc. And you'll have more of the photo in focus

The wedding I shot this weekend I shot everything at f5.6-f11

I just like it
