For church interiors I would suggest -
Use the stock 17-55 lens but the think about Getting a wide angle lens, on a crop sensor something like a 10-22, or I had a tokina 12-28 which was good, or possibly a samyang 14mm or smaller (but these tend to be manual so bit more difficult to use) worth looking up reviews for lenses that have a predictable distortion that can easily be edited out. I use lenstip site for reviews, very comprehensive tests.Once you get through the auto stage then using smaller apertures, say f8-f11 will give greater depth of field in focus but this will increase shuttered opening time and there as above will need tripod (often not allowed) or somewhere to rest/brace the camera. In auto maybe using a landscape setting if it has one will help.Shot in RAW so you can play around with exposure/fill in shadows/convert to black and white etc after the fact.Once you get the hang of it it may be worth looking into HDR where you combine under, normal and over exposed images to even out the shadows/bright windows etc.And finally, as said above read up about the exposure triangle and how you balance aperture, exposure time and sensor sensitivity (ISO) and then how the choice of balance effects depth of view. There are plenty of web pages or buy “understanding exposure” book from amazonJust a few pointers. |
