Hi all. I have had my Nikon d3200 for 2 years. I practised on my kit lens until I figured the basics and after a year bought a 50mm 1.8g lens. I struggled at first to get sharp images away from auto but after almost a year of playing I think I've mostly got the hang of it. I'm confident in taking photos in good lighting. However, my indoor shots are awful. My living room is always dull and photos always come out grainy or dark. Kids birthday photos were a failure. I have it on slow shutter speed, larger aperture, higher iso but have never managed a decent shot in the poor lighting. Is there a lens that will improve this or is there something more I can do (besides artificial light) that would improve my indoor portrait shots? It's my birthday coming up so I can treat myself if I want to, but I don't want to pay out if there is more that can be done with my existing lens.
Thanks!
Thanks!
