[QUOTE="NewNikon, post: 221194, member: 18047"] Hi all, I just recently purchased a D5100 with a 18-105mm lens kit. I actually bought this camera for a very specific reason: I am going to be proposing to my girlfriend, and I would like very good quality photos taken of the event. I have used my Dad's SLR camera before, but this is my first jump into a DSLR, so I was hoping for some advice on setting it up. The pictures of course won't be taken by me, but by someone else, who has a little experience as I do. I've provided a few links (just Imgur picture links) showing the scene these pictures would be taken in. Its a very dynamic scene, with a dark night background, and the subjects (my girlfriend and myself) lit up only by two trees covered in lights (Its at Callaway Gardens). We will be directly underneath the twin trees in the photos below! What kind of settings would ya'll recommend I setup beforehand so that anyone using the camera could get the best photos possible?
