Thank You @rocketman122 The wedding happened and I got some good shots. There were problems (like many weddings): The church lady started the wedding with the bride still getting dressed. She didn't even come and warn us first. Thankfully, the groom's mother sent the bridal party back to come...

Hey @rocketman122 thanks again for the tons of info not the least of that being the videos. Many thanks. @lovenikon ( can't get you name too work) thank you too. I'd like to see some images some day, but it's too late for me to entertain using your concepts at this wedding. I hope we can...

@rocketman122 Wedding is in 2 days... I have one final question: You mentioned sniping people with the 70-200. Whenever I zoom in on someone far away with on camera TTL everything closer to the camera (between me and the subject) will get nuked by the flash. Do you just use the 70-200 with the...

@rocketman122 I'm glad you made another video. It made things more clear. At the church, I will use OCF with light stands in one row of seats. At the reception (I think for dance photos only) I will also use the OCF on light stands - flashes pointing up. In the church OCF at 1/16 power, at...

@rocketman122 First, let me say Thank You. You even made a video... Thank You! In the church, should I place the flashes on the seat for the duration of the ceremony? Or should I place them near the middle of the church for the processional and then move them closer to the front for the vows...

@rocketman122 That was a lot to digest! I've read it twice and feel like I need to read it again. First question: What is kappa? I will definitely try to get some nice photos of the church - I assume that it should be empty of people for those shots. Per your suggestion, I got the SB 910 to...

Thanks @RocketCowboy . @rocketman122 The wedding's not until June 27th, so we have a little time still...

Thanks @RocketCowboy . I don't know from your comment if you read where @rocketman122 suggested I use 2 slaves on stands if the church was dark (see photo). Because this is my first church wedding, I'm asking is this church considered dark enough to warrant using the slaves, or can I get away...

@rocketman122 I went to the church and took some test shots. These were taken with a D800 - I'd guess the D750 would be about the same. The church lady said that she doesn't know of any photography rules, but I'll ask the priest on the day of the wedding, just to be safe. I shot some with and...

@hark I already have AFS NIKKOR 28-70 F2.8 G ED and AFS NIKKOR VR 70-200 F2.8 G. The 18-35mm F3.5-4.5G will cover the wide end for weddings. I also have a AFS NIKKOR 50 1.8G

@rocketman122 I got all of the equipment we talked about above except the second camera, which is on back order. I will be re-reading your suggestions and practicing with the equipment - so i should have it down before the wedding. That YN622 manual is a mother! Also, I found a guy who's...

Well, I already bought the wide lens with the new D750 (both of which went on backorder:(). My original post was asking wedding shooters if the 24 -120 F4 was good enough for my second camera body or should I get a second 28 -70 F2.8. Before I got an answer from a wedding shooter, I found...

Thanks @Browncoat and all, I'll call my agent and see if there's an affordable policy for me. No making much money yet but I have equipment hat I'd the to have to replace out of pocket.

@Browncoat Will the inland marine policy cover photo equipment used for business or is it only for personal use equipment? Also, are drops and spills covered? I just dropped a camera and lens at my job that is going to cost $1100 to repair. Of course my company will pay for that, but had it...

Now that Nikon D 750 is back on the market, I am going to buy another one. They are selling the 24-120 F4 at $600 discount if purchased along with the D 750. I already have the 28-70 F2.8 and 70-200 F2.8 For a third lens, is $600 savings worth it despite being only F4 - or should I pass on the...
