If you have "good glass" like an f.2.8 f1.8 etc... this does NOT mean that shooting wide open is the best choice. If you're doing a portrait, maybe, however the best part of any lens is not wide open. If photographing a group. the depth of focus can often be too small. A common saying with photographers is "f8 and forget it" Not saying that f8 is winner, however using a less shallow f stop will allow you to use autofocus and concentrate on other things.
Even manual focus is only so good, meaning on a portrait if you're on manaual focus you sort of want more than one part of the face (and eye, etc) to be in focus. Yes smaller numbers on a wider lens are easier than f.2.8 on a 200mm, but just because you have "fast glass" dosen't mean shooting wide open is the best choice.
If you don't have any longer lenses you might be able to pick up a 2x converter to make youself a 100mm lens when you stack it on the 50mm. This was all I had when I first started photographing and it gave me a more "portrait lens". I've also discussed with Archer that it's good to not have too many lenses / gear as you must learn on piece of equipment at a time before mastering it.
Keep up the good work.

I agree with @kevinpalmer that TweepMe is like those myspace friend adder robots from back in the day (wait maybe they still do that, I avoid myspace, because it's just a cluttered community)

AlohaArleen, I don't dislike you, you're probably cool in person, I just don't use twitter like you. It makes sense to follow more people, but follow people who have some sort of common interest, friends, location, etc.
Please explain the point of randomly following everyone.
Later,
