Help /p/
Decided to take my camera to my friends graduation to snap a few pictures of people and the town. Then heard my friend telling his family to not worry about bringing a camera because his friend was bringing his "professional camera"
How do I go about not disappointing everyone? I have a beginner DSLR and a kit lens of 18-135 as well a a nifty fifty and a 35mm. I don't have a lot of experience in this still but I understand the exposure triangle.

1. Practice as much as you can in the same lighting conditions you'll have that day.
2. Pack the 35 or the 50 1.8 for low light and general use (I'd recommend you the 50 because in graduations it's better to have reach than a wider angle). Use it for group pictures with relatives and indoors closeups. Never go wider than f2.8 unless you know what you're doing, a narrow depth of field can ruin your shot with defocused areas that should be sharp. Higher iso+denoising in post production is preferable.
3. If you plan to do a portrait session outdoors or the classic parents&son/daughter, set the kit lens at 135 f5.6 and frame just their heads and part of the shoulders (in other words get close to them for bokeh, plebs crave that shit and will distract them from possible bad framing).
4. If you find yourself in a situation in which you need your tele lens don't be afraid (again) of bumping up the iso. Noise can be fixed in post production, motion blurr due to stupidly slow shutter speeds can't.
Good luck, take it as a challenge and a chance to improve by staying out of your comfort zone. If pressure is too much just approach your friend's parents and be honest, you're just a hobbist and relying on you for such an important day is not only a huge responsibility but also a risk for them, so they better pack their cameras or at least their phones.
Although you should do your best, who knows if this can lead to more jobs.

Been trying to get my hands on a tamron 1.8 35mm or a sigma art 35mm
Problem is my budget for a new lens cant go more than 350. Ive been creeping ebay auctions and whatnot but it goes 0-100 real fucking quick.
Wanna find a nice 35mm at atleast 2.8 for around my price range or just a nice wide angle for that matter.
Whats some nice alternative glass you guys could recommend?
needs to be Canon EF
Working with a canon 50mm 1.8
tamron 28-200mm 4.0
and I just regrettably sold my rokinon 14mm ultrawide
Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM is decent.

The problem might be that it is not a camera but a phone. Just throw it out and buy another one. And buy an actual camera to make photos, and don't look for a "phone with a good camera".
It doesn't exist and now you see why.
>>2978780
Probably a crap sensor reacting extremely to heat or such.

>What are Prime Lenses and how do they differ from Kit Lenses and other types of lenses in general?
only one focal length
>What are the advantages/disadvantages of using such lenses?
only one focal length, primes will be cheaper and have better sharpness/wider aperture
>How do Prime Lenses interact with cameras who have a cropped sensor and a full sensor?
exactly the same
>What to look for when buying a Prime Lens?
sharpness, size, cost, sealing, coating, autofocus or manual focus, aperture ring, filter compatability, as you would any other lens
>>2978152
So one could use a Prime Lens with a lower end DSLR as well as a high end one?
Do any of you build cameras?
I'm currently prototyping a handheld 4x5. I've got a 90mm lens that covers 4x5. The lens is attached to a m42 focusing helicoid, but it looks like the helicoid is giving me some vignetting.
Do you know of any sources of helicoids that have a larger diameter than the m42 helicoids but aren't super expensive?

Cool, how hard/expensive is it?

Look at what you decided to photograph, Anon.
Therein lies your problem.

It was just an example of the weather conditions. Also, I kinda like the contrast of the abandoned mower in the snow. It's obviously not meant to be a prize winning photo.
