Hello,
I'm doing my first engagement shoot this Sunday and the couple has selected a town (Cromer, Norfolk, UK) close to the beach.
I plan to shoot in the evening time, a couple of hours before sunset. I'll be under-exposing the background by about a stop and using a shoot-through off-camera SB-700 flash (triggered with my pop-up flash). Not all the photos would be on the beach but some will. I own a Nikon D7100 crop sensor camera and the following lenses:
Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8 G
Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM
Nikon 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX ED VR
Tamron SP AF 70-300 F/4-5.6 Di VC
I want to use only one lens (or possibly two at the most) so was wondering if you were doing this shoot, which two lenses out of the ones I own above would you bring and why? I want a combination of full body, 3/4 and head and shoulders. Also, do you think using wide open apertures such as F1.8, 2.8 would be too shallow for close up shots of the two of them?
Thanks for any tips!
