First E-Shoot Need Suggestions Please

Bsimon

Hey folks,

Well, I told my buddy I would do him a favor and shoot some engagement photos for his fiance and him. I have several questions:

Gear to use: I have all the items listed in my sig below though I do have access to a D90 if need be. I am guessing my prime lens would be best but do you think it would make a difference if I went the D90 route as far as IQ? I am very well versed with the settings of my D60 but have little time on the D90.

Poses: I will be posing the couple outdoors at a city owned mansion. Issue being, the groom is around 6'4 and the bride is 5'. Herein lies my problem. Since I have never done this before I am not well versed in the different posing tecniques many people use with couples of very different heights.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks everyone!

Jeffreaux2 had a couple that had similar height issues last year or so...
And his work is always stellar:

if you are not shooting at night (hi ISO) then IQ is fine with D60.

Thanks folks. Shot will be during the day. Around 10AM. IQ still fine with the D60 compared to D90?

absolutely..my post should read if your are "NOT" shooting at night then D60 is prefectly capable. Even if you had acces to a D3 I don't think your IQ would be an issue still. In a controlled shoot like and engagement session..the camera body is not going to make lick of difference. Concentrate your effort on getting them comfortable and study up on posing and choose a nice setting/location and time of day.
