[QUOTE="Felisek, post: 558496, member: 23887"] Right, I think I should write something here. Sorry for being silent for so long, I was not very well, I was on holiday, I was busy. All the usual excuses :rolleyes: The wedding went, I think, fairly well. Daz was a star and helped me a lot. I had no idea how to herd people and pose them for various pictures. He was doing most of this job and I just followed him with my camera and took pictures. Thanks again, Daz! The one thing I learned the hard way from this wedding, the thing that makes wedding photography quite different from any other type of photography I experienced so far is that [B]you don't have time to think[/B]. Everything is going so fast! People are posing and I have 5 seconds to look for light, set my exposure, set the composition and fire a few shots. This gets even more complicated when you have a flash or even a few remote flashes. These remotes did not like co-operating with me. The Nikon CLS system did not work at all, even indoors. Either not fired remotes at all, or over/under exposed shots terribly. It was surprising to me, as I used it for a studio-type portrait photography before and it worked well. I guess when you move away from the remote more that a couple of meters, it struggles. I switch to YN662 receives triggered by YN662TX commander and this worked much better. I wish I could have an on-camera flash with YN662TX on! It was a very long, exhausting, but fun day. I will probably never do it again, but please, don't let my experience discourage you, if you want to do your first wedding. I think we should try various things! I will post some pictures very soon.
