thanks for summarising the tips, Marnie. I appreciate it very much. I don't tend to like shooting close to people -- in fact, I slap on the 70-300 lens so I can shoot from across the room. I guess I'll go back to the 24-135 lens the next time I go out and see what sorts of photos I get then. -- skye
