Still sorting through hundreds of shots from my first portrait shoot. This one was good, just a little crop and b&w to make me look better for the parents, so I'll share it /p/.

Now back to Lightroom...

No, that was a fault of mine on the B&W conversion. Will be cleaned up before print.

You can do fine with that camera; unless you find yourself being limited by your camera and missing otherwise great shots, then you only want a new camera and don't really "need" one.

It limits great shots. I need to upgrade to a Nikon or Canon. Seriously, it blurs nearly everything. I've tried changing ISO speeds, f-stop, everything the limited GUI lets me. I could upload a whole batch of wedding photos on Flickr so you can see what I mean.

I can take some ok shots, my wife is the real photographer and she hates it.
