    Seek Suggestions For choosing Prime Lens

    Check in the price guide how much a 35mm f1.8. You can also try the Nikkor AF-D 50mm f1.8 but it doesn't have an internal focus motor so on a D60 you would have to resort to manual focus. There is an 50mm AF-S but that is way out of your budget.

    Take landscape shd use kit lens or 50mm 1.8

    Yup. And if you find that 50mm is not wide enough, you can even try doing a panorama using multiple vertical shots and then stitch it post.

    Mac Aperture Raw

    You've got a strange problem. What version are you running? Canon EOS 7D is supported according to Aperture specs sheet - with a footnote. Requires Aperture 2 with Mac OS X v10.5.8 Leopard or Mac OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard or later. Lightroom and Aperture are apps for managing your photographs...

    Why is MacBook (Pro) much more expensive than normal laptop?

    Sorry, which bit have I misquoted? Look at the "Originally Posted by header" - the second part "Better specs from other brands at lower prices" is Cartman's.

    Why is MacBook (Pro) much more expensive than normal laptop?

    I agree with you wholeheartedly. And FYI, I have never made such type of statements. I did not say that Macs are superior than PCs. All I am saying is that Macs don't suck as much as most people think. Just to remind you that the topic is "Why is MacBook (Pro) much more expensive than normal...

    Why is MacBook (Pro) much more expensive than normal laptop?

    Sure, but the people making such complains are mainly die-hard Apple haters who are always on the lookout for opportunities to annoy and make fun of people who buy or adopt the products that they hate. Haters do not understand that there is nothing wrong about providing justifications for a...

    Newbie into Candied & Portrait shots

    I've got good results using a camera mounted SB-600 flash also zoomed to the max. I'm sure your new flash can do the same (depends on how far though) It would also work if you can take your flash off the camera and remotely trigger it. Ask someone to hold the flash for you and point it at...

    Newbie into Candied & Portrait shots

    Good tips. Additional newbie tip. Turn on your flash and set it to TTL. Now, use your favorite mode to properly expose the background. You might need to frame it first so your daughter is not visible - that will correctly expose the background. Now press the exposure lock button, recompose with...

    I use manual to expose the background properly. This definitely underexpose your daughter. Then light up your daughter with a reflector of some sort or fill light with flash.

    Newbie into Candied & Portrait shots
