Hello! Have you thought about photo sfxart tricks (do a search on google)? My buddy Phil made some very incredible pictures with their video lessons.

(indoors, by the way). depends on the lighting/scenery

[asidemobilestudio]

blur is due to low shutter speed. you can get away with 1/50, f1.8-4.0 and 400-800 ISO depending on your camera/lens. the grain is from the ISO, 800 is usually the safe zone for some cameras.

Is it Ok if I use 55-300 lens ?

[Tonyrd3000]

Wish I would have found this sooner.  Graduation pics last night had blur :( only had my ISO at 800 because I was afraid of graininess on my d300s. Guess I shouldn't have been afraid if going to 1600?
