Any advice? I'm batshit nervous to take portraits of other people. When I take my shots, I'd say I'd get maybe 10-20 solid shots out of 300-400 photos I take. I have no real experience posing people, which would suck for the first friend, but second friend prob knows how to. I'm thinking about bringing both cameras so if I can't get what I need with my new one, I can rely on what I know I can do with the old one..
