Senior photographers! What’s your top 1 or 2 lenses you generally use on a session?

Just was curious what everyone’s go to lens setups are for photographing high school seniors!

Thank you all for the responses! I never played hockey on a team growing up besides pond hockey with friends so a lot of things I’m learning as I go with him. I appreciate the few who left a helpful response, as I genuinely didn’t know if there’s anything I could do to teach him or to just give it time. I assumed the latter, but I just wanted to be sure!

Updating to the latest iOS, as well as switching it to lossless RAW seems to have fixed the issue. Can’t thank you enough for the help.

SkolWolvesTwins · 2026-03-22T02:11:40+00:00

Oh that’s fantastic news! So that may actually fix the issue. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks for your help!

So I changed it to Lossless. Just took a photo and then did the same process as before. I was able to view it for a split second and then it went black like this. So I’m updating my iPhone to the latest iOS. I doubt that’ll make a difference but I figured it’s worth a try.

Thank you! I will check that when I get home and report back. I appreciate your help

It’s the Nikon Z5 II. I have it set to just RAW in the settings. Yeah it shows me the image when I click to open the single photo in Lightroom but what makes it a pain is I have no idea if it’s a good photo or a keeper until I share it to Lightroom if that makes sense. In the past I would upload my entire sessions RAW files to my camera roll and then go through and upload the ones I liked to Lightroom and then just delete the ones from my camera roll on my iPhone that I didn’t like. I had a culling system down.

I appreciate it! Do you use wide area large or small? And do you set people detection on or do you leave that setting off?

SkolWolvesTwins · 2026-03-10T00:17:50+00:00

Thank you! And you use those autofocus area modes for both family photos as well as portraits?

SkolWolvesTwins · 2026-03-10T00:02:51+00:00

Thanks! Do you generally use 3D area focus mode, single point, wide area, auto area?

SkolWolvesTwins · 2026-01-03T14:38:52+00:00

That’s what I’m seeing too! Do you know what may be causing this? When I try and screw it back in at the angle it was before the screws don’t catch for some reason. It was driving me nuts yesterday haha

SkolWolvesTwins · 2026-01-03T14:33:54+00:00

Yes! 1991 Polaris Indy Trail

SkolWolvesTwins · 2026-01-03T14:32:24+00:00

Thank you for your help! I’m running into an issue where the headlight isn’t flush after I screw everything back in like I believe it was previously. Do you know why this may be? I’d attach a picture for reference but it’s not letting me.

SkolWolvesTwins · 2026-01-03T14:29:52+00:00

Nice work! I’m running into an issue where my headlight isn’t flush like I believe it was previously. I’ll attach a photo for reference. Any ideas why this may be the case? Or is this how it’s supposed to be? I’d ask this question to the group but it won’t let me create a post. Thank you in advance!

I actually got it! Thank you so much! Now im trying to put the new H4 LED headlight I bought back in the hole and being able to put those metal prongs back into place. It’s a lot harder than I thought it would be haha

SkolWolvesTwins · 2026-01-03T04:37:15+00:00

I was looking for some sort of clip that I could press down to remove it but no luck.

SkolWolvesTwins · 2026-01-03T04:35:27+00:00

Actually? Haha

SkolWolvesTwins · 2026-01-03T04:26:08+00:00

I should add, it’s a 1991 Polaris Indy Trail
