Hey everyone!
<p style="text-align: justify;"]
Last year I bought an EOS 550D DSLR. Before that I used regular digital cameras. When I got my 550D I was stunned with the IQ and all the settings you could change to have it set your own taste. I bought it with the stock lens, 18-55mm F3.5 IS. Now I've reached a point where I want to improve my pictures more and maybe start shooting as a hobby/financial income on the side.

<p style="text-align: justify;"]In june we're have a dog show that my family every year manages. I have an idea of having a phot booth taking pictures for the exhibitionists. So I have some questions for you.
<p style="text-align: justify;"]
<p style="text-align: justify;"]1. Lens: I've been reading on the The digital picture everyday trying to understand all words and what the difference between lenses are. Its a big djungle, I can tell you! I've been looking at the 70-200mm f 2.8L IS lens. It's quite an investment buying this lense. But also alot of people recommend the 24-70 f4.0L IS lens aswell, it was my initial lens that I planned to aquire. I want an allround objective but also suitable for portrait and sports. Do I really need the f 2.8 or can my wallet have some relief and stay at f 4.0 ?
<p style="text-align: justify;"]2. Portable studio: What lights do I need to shoot with? What background is suitable? Dogs come in all different shapes and colours so a neutral colour would be best I think? I'm gonna shoot outside under a big tent with grass, I dont want them to stand in the grass either so what should I use as "floor" ?
<p style="text-align: justify;"]3. Price: I'm planning to make a little profit and PR by shooting at the show, Is 25 bucks to much to ask for a A4 sized portrait? Or should I lower myself?
<p style="text-align: justify;"]
<p style="text-align: justify;"]Thats all I guess, maybe some strange questions but maybe you can help me.
