Lens recommendations.. childrens portraits

Hi Stace, The Exif says Auto, You should be able to get the shots with the 50mm 1.8 Maybe using flash, You'll be able to clean up the shots if you open the aperture from f8 to f2 and decrease the ISO from ISO1600 , These were taken at around 8.00 pm indoors , Not a good time for children shots , Try daylight or a nice light through the window to get the action

Thanks William- much appreciated! Though I do confess to being really perplexed at why my EXIF data says I took that image at around 8pm? It was taken in the middle of the morning, although from memory I probably played around with it in Photoshop at 8pm or so LOL
