If im using an iso speed of 1600 on a nikon d40x what is the best f-number to use for portraites in well light rooms+churches at night, and WHAT are they. my camera manuals about as vauge as my history teacher, not good...please help. i tried taking still life pictures indoors with the same lightting as the church im doing the photos would have. I used 1600iso not sure bout the f-numbs but the shutter stayed open for a long time, a bit too long for really crisp handheld shots of people because i amagine the subjects would move, would the f-numbers affect this.?? and if not how do i make the shutter speed faster...sorry, i kmow ive been asking loads of questions about photos latley, but im kinda in at the deep end here, and im stuck at boarding school and iv had very littl time to practice, my bad!Thanks
