<p>Martin,<br>

I like that...I am going to have to get me one of those! Thanks.<br>

Nadine - thank you!</p>

<p>So Tommy and David,<br>

Use my 1.4 on f1.8 and the pictures will look better, should I keep the ISO 1600? The light is dim in that church.<br>

Thanks!</p>

I have a monopod and a tripod, but I am just thinking that alot of the pictures will be in portrait not landscape and so that probably would not work right? </p>

<p>I am shooting a small wedding for a friend - she knows I am not a professional but trusts me that I will do anything I can to make the pictures look right. Okay so...I bought the Canon 1.8 the other day and played with it since it is in a catholic church and the lighting is dim. The test pictures were ok - but I want better. Right now, I am going to go for it and buy the Canon f 1.4 and maybe I will be happier. My question is should I still shoot at 1600 and app. 1.4 - since with the 1.8 I was shooting at 1600 and app. 1.8? This is probably a no brainer - but thought I would ask. I have to say - the test pictures had good lighting - but just a little grainy, not too bad.<br>

Thanks!</p>

<p>Oh, Simon - what noise/grain removal software did you use? I am looking for one. Anyone out there have some comments on which one they prefer???<br>

Thanks!</p>

<p>Thanks everybody for your comments!!!</p>

<p>Okay, here is what I was talking about, this is mine that I took the other day at the church. I am just not used to seeing so much grain - I mainly take outdoor pictures and I can't see it!!!</p><div></div>

<p>"Nonsense" - as in "Viola, I can't believe you put your camera on 1600"? or nonsense as in "using 1600 is just fine for this camera"?</p>

<p>Hi, I just got Adobe Lightroom 2 and I also have Photoshop Elements 7. I took some pictures of some people in a big Catholic church and the lighting was fine, but the pictures are pretty grainy. <br>

I have a digital Canon Rebel XT, I used my 50 mm 1.8 lens on 1600 ISO and f 1.8 aperture. <br>

Has anyone used these 2 to correct the grain? Or should I put the ISO and/or aperture on another setting?<br>

Thanks!</p>

<p>Francie,<br>

My friend said that she could lend me her Canon Xsi...any better?<br>

Thanks!</p>

<p>Hello, I am shooting a wedding in a couple of weeks. I have only shot 3 weddings and they have been in small churches with low ceilings. This new one is in a huge high ceiling catholic church. Yikes! The lighting is low and I am really scared of how I am going to take these pictures. I know I don't have a super professional camera but I love it and I have shot some great pictures with it! I have a Canon Rebel XT, I mainly use my 18mm-200mm Tamron lens and my 430 canon ext. flash. I bought a 50mm f1.8 also. The bride and groom don't care if I use a flash...so I have that option. I wanted to try not to use one though. I did some test shots and I put my iso up to 1600 and they look really grainy. I also put my diffuser on my flash and I have been shooting some test shots in my living room with dim lighting and that may work. My question is - am I missing something - I am more into the daylight outdoor portraits shots...I am not sure that weddings are for me since I don't know my camera as well as I should. Any suggestions to calm me down for the lighting??? New lens??? New Flash??? THANKS!</p>
