Dom, I have a D90 along with the 50 1.4g, 80-200 2.8d, and a Tokina 11-16 2.8

Weddings and portraits are mostly what I do.

I want to upgrade or buy a more professional camera. What would you recommend ?

[dombower]

@johnny48166 nikon d700 if you are doing weddings

[trumpetman50]

When you used the flash Off camera, could that still be done with just nikons creative lighting system?

[dombower]

@trumpetman50 not if you are outside and you have the flash off camera behind you unless you have a sb700 or 900 pointing behind you

[zhugekoming]

in addition, cls will only work when built in flash is fire? tat will cast a shadow below the image if the lens is long. am i correct?

[dombower]

@zhugekoming not if you shoot fast enough. it should not affect the image

[dombower]

@tourdumonde77 you clearly have not had a macro lens then.

[cyberzan777]

can i know your backbag brand?

[MI6CORPORAL]

So, for my wedding photography, I'm thinking a 70-200 f/2.8 on a full frame camera, and a decent wide angle to normal zoom, such as a 24-70 or and 14-24 or 17-40, also on a full frame camera, perhaps a 5D mk. II or D700? And drop a 100mm or 105mm macro in the pocket and a little normal lens such as a 50mm f/1.4 or 1.8? What do you think?

@johnny48166 i had the d90 when i started to do weddings,and a d50 as aback up i sold everything i had and i bought a d700 with 24-70mm and a sb800 it felt like a taxi ride vs ferrari,.....it is worth the investment and pictures are just amazing d700 is a super great camera i love the d3 same image quality if you do weddings get the d700 and use the d90 as a back up

Hey Dom!

Big fan of all your work, just wanted a bit of advice as ive been asked to shoot my first solo wedding on saturday (its only 30 people attending), ive assised 2 before, but would like some advice from someone that has experience in that area. Im an 18 year old photography student, and would be using a nikon d300s & d90 with a 24-120, sigma 10-20, nikon 35mm f1.8 for the day, with an sb-900. do you have any tips you could give me? ie lighting positions, flash etc?

Thanks

Gareth
