[QUOTE="Blade Canyon, post: 425950, member: 15302"] Sorry to be so late to the party, but I agree with your decision to shoot in "landscape" mode. As Peter Hurley said, all of our devices are now landscape mode, for the most part, and portraits can look good that way. A little more fill lighting, plus some more time spent getting your "client" (wife) to relax would be the real key. I took a Jerry Ghionis course, and it taught me that your camera body is the least important thing. Good glass is important, but POSING, LIGHTING, and CREATIVITY are the most critical things to shooting a portrait that your subject will truly love. Getting the subject to relax so you can capture that spontaneous energy is worth more than the price difference between a DX and FX body (said the guy who now has three FX bodies...). [/QUOTE]
