Hey thanks for all your advice there @logan very helpful!
I feel like I got into this photography situation much the same way as you 🙂 which is okay with me, because I am learning to enjoy the process – after getting over my “fear” of failing or letting people down.I will be doing the photo shoot in a field and possibly beside a barn. Hoping I can get everyone there by about 4:30 to get that “golden hour” light. I totally agree about taking lots of pictures! I often feel like I overdo it but I guess that’s better than under doing it 🙂
So I have been doing a little playing around with my lens and had a question come up that would relate to the group photo shoot. I was practicing with my little sisters toys in my homemade light box. I noticed when I would have rows of “creatures” the ones on the ends or second row tended to not be as sharp as the one I focused on, even though I was shooting at F/5.6 at 1/125. Should I be using more like a f/8 or higher? I don’t really like going higher than f/5.6 but will if I really have to… I am just a little concerned if I cant get everything sharp with miniture people how is it going to end out with 28 adults 🙂 wondering if anyone has suggestions or ideas.

Thank you for the comments. I really appreciated your steps there James. Very clear and easy to understand. I think I will print that out to use as a guide in the future as well! With that list, I have more confidence to be orderly and have a schedule laid out in place before the actual event.
I was very pleased my new 50mm lens arrived today and I had a little window of time to try it out before the sun went down. I am already amazed with it already! The images I got in just that short time are just beautiful! I am looking forward to seeing how this photo shots all plays out and comes together. Thanks again!
Awesome! Thanks for the comments, both are very helpful! I will check out b&h. Great to know about the af-s version as well.
Ok! Thanks!! @buddingphotographer That is VERY helpful!! I do use Lightroom quite a bit but I have never really understood how the presets work. So thanks a lot! I think it will help speed up my post processing a good amount!
