first question.. is that the couple youll be shooting in the last pic, or is it you and your lady?
This is the couple.
what cameras lenses flashes do you have? radio triggers? ceiling on the lower level is too short for light stands and putting from the flashes on the upper level shooting down or even reflected up so it finally comes down to ground level is angled way too down.
The full list of equipment is in
the other thread about this wedding. There is a link at the top of this thread. Sorry for being confusing!
personally, if youre shooting DX I think youre limited with high iso. looking at the specs and the shutter you were using a tripod? you wont be able to use those specs with people.
The photos above were all hand-held. I took them specifically to demonstrate the venue, hence ultra-wide angles. I don't think 11-16 would be very useful for the wedding, but I'd like to hear your opinion. Perhaps for group shots?
in the table shots walking around that area, Id just use a flash on camera and I would use high iso like 3200 and blend the flash with the ambient. I dont know how experienced a photog u are to do that.
I can certainly do this. In fact, I'm going to practice using high ISO and blending the flash and the ambient light soon. Could you elaborate why I should do this? I mean why blend the flash and the ambient by forcing very high ISO and risking grainy shots? Is it because it just looks better and more natural?
What if I use on- and off-camera flashes as the main light source? I was thinking about having one flash on the camera and another (with a soft box) being held by a helper to get some side light and nice shadows.
Anyway, later in the evening I will not have any ambient light.
as far as outside shots are concerned, you can do some couple "location" shots there together. next to the trees shooting even with them inside and backlit and you shooting them from outside. them at the bridge together a lot of poses comes to mind. just dont know how competent you are. I just dont know your level
How competent I am? I don't know. You can judge my photos
here. But this is a very different type of photography. I don't have much experience with shooting people (or dear, that sounds horrible). But I still have a few months before the wedding and I'm keen to learn. Hence asking all these questions here!
Could you explain what you mean about the trees: "them inside and shooting from the outside"? You got me lost here.
