[QUOTE="Deezey, post: 254958, member: 13223"] Welcome to the forum! For the doll shoots I would just treat them like a portrait. Invest in a speedlight or two. The kit lens while it does get some flak is still a great little gem of a lens. For outdoor family stuff I would look into the faster primes. Say the 85 f1.8G. And maybe a longer zoom. Say the 55-200 or better yet the 70-300. While lenses are not cheap, with a dSLR they absolutely make a difference. Buy the best you can get. As for getting out of Auto. I would suggest the book Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson. Get familiar with the Exposure Triangle. Then jump into Manual. Manual is not as scary as you probably think. [/QUOTE]
