I have been on the processing side for eight years. Now I'm going into photography. What would be the best camera,setting and lenses for weddings?

A photo was taken of me going about 30 miles a hour on a motorcycle from a photographer of 30 years and the photo was crystal clear!
I'm not sure the type of camera it was other than it being a canon (d?) 8 megapixel w/lense.
I would like to able to take fast action shots, low lit or candle lit weddings, and far distance landscape shots. I'm not sure of the settings for each and what camera and lense is recommended. Please help
Thanks,
Dee

Dee,

The Canon XSi listed above would be a fantastic fit. I've shot a few weddings using a Rebel XT and the XTi. I would recommend getting yourself an external flash like the Speedlite 430EX and a fast, telephoto lens like a Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8. You might want to get a longer lens as well (up to 200mm) to utilize a shorter depth of field and get more artistic shots.

If you do shoot weddings, make sure you pack plenty of batteries and extra memory cards. I would suggest taking the photos at the largest size, with the highest resolution to give you the largest print sizes you can get. This also will aide if you have to do any cropping later for different print sizes.

Any of the cameras listed above will also work great for the artistic shots you want to get. They have full manual control for maximum flexibility. I would also recommend taking a course in photography at your local community college or even a more inclusive correspondence course. I've sharpend my skills through the New York Institute of Photography's Professional Photography program. It really helped me learn alot more about the ins and outs of my camera and photography in general.

Hopefully my rambling has helped you out today. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck and happy shooting.

Andrew
