i had thought the 50mm 1.8 would give me better quality images but i was wrong lol. i tried the longer lenses like you sugested and upped the shutter speed with the flash directly on the frog. much better in my opinion but its still hard to get the eye perfectly in focus.
the first 2 are with the 75-300 at 300mm f8 1/200 shutter and 100 iso. the last one is withthe 18-135 kit lens at 135 mm f8 1/200 shutter and 100 iso. thanks for the pointers Pat !
