Re: some basic experience re group photos

P.S. a 25 is not the most ideal FL for large group photos you have to backup quite a bit...

My rule of thumb for ordinary social settings, where you are taking photos of people facing you at a "normal" distance:

45mm will do 1 person well

25mm will do 2-3 people well

20mm will do 4-8 well - my favorite

12mm will do 20 well

Spot on... I have to swop your 20 for a 17 though! But I get it done.

Credit to whoever said that first and my wife for saying it to me. Make the best you can of every day!
