Wedding Photography?
I am trying to start free lancing with wedding photography. The camera I am using will be a Nikon D80 with Photshop CS2. Can anyone give me any suggestions on what lens, flash and anyother things i could use for this, Aswell as any tips or techniques on shooting and editing.

- Personally, I think the 17-55 lens is very well-suited for weddings, although in the church you may want more tele length. If you are shooting at the full 10 MP (which you SHOULD be), you can crop out quite nicely if you want to create that zoom on the computer. The fixed f/2.8 aperture is very helpful in available light shots. From Popular Photography: The most optically capable and physically rugged “normal” range zoom you can buy for a Nikon DLSR, this gun is large, heavy, and unquestionably expensive. If there’s a chance you’ll trade up to a full-frame DSLR or migrate to film, pass on it. For other Nikon DSLR shooters with adequately deep pockets, this sharp, fast, (almost) distortion-free all-purpose lens, with its nigh-perfect zoom spread for people pictures and outdoor photography, will be hard to resist." http://www.popphoto.com/cameralenses/2257/lens-test-nikon-17-55mm-f28g-dx-af-s.html http://www.naturfotograf.com/lens_zoom_01.html#AFS17-55G http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/1755.htm The SB-800 is an extremely versatile flash. It comes with a little booklet showing all kinds of set-ups, so I won't go in to that here.
