I'll be doing some DIY lighting and what not eventually, but lacking funds atm. I'll see what I can do about lamps, that's a good idea.

Thanks. I figured as much but I have to work with what I've got. Maybe I can find a quick release pad today so I can use my tripod.

Sorry I had to catch a bus and realized I left out some details once I was there. It will be indoors at night (hence the crappy lighting reference). It will be modeling (swimsuits optional) but I can't guarantee they will always be staying still. I did just get a tripod off craigslist for $10 but I don't have the quick pad and can't seem to find one locally, so I probably won't be able to use it unfortunately. I'm not sure exactly what the lighting will be like, but most likely normal overheard room lighting. I might be able to buy a couple lightbulbs if you think that will improve things. Any suggestions there?
Thanks Jatrax for the advice on starting with Av mode. That's exactly what I was looking for. Alizarine you're right I am lucky. I posted the pics I took around my neighborhood the moment I got my battery charged and now I have quite a few people wanting me to shoot them, which is good because I really need the practice. I did alright with my Lumix point and shoot I bought 5 years ago (was surprised since I didn't think I'd be happy with less than an SLR) but I've been itching for something better for years.

I just got my K-r this week with what seems to be the standard two lens kit. I'm enjoying it quite a bit a bit but it's been 20 or so years sincce I've taken a photography class so I'm a bit rusty. Some lady friends want to do a practice photo shoot this weekend and I'm looking for some advice on where to start with settings. I'm assuming I'll have crappy light to work with and can't currently afford to buy anything to help out. Yes I've read the manual quite a few times and I'm definitely going to play around to see what works. I'm just looking for a starting point and any other suggestions you might have.
thanks ahead of time. :cool:
