Lovely shots David. The tree lined ones are great as are the B& conversions. They must be very pleased with the final results.
Thank you for your positive feedback Kevin. The Salutation Gardens are a great location!
Yours,
David
David, I'm interested in how you approach lens changes at a wedding. What sort of strategy do you have for each lens usage. How do you handle church weddings where you are not permitted to move around - stick with the 24-70?
Thanks!
Hi Robert,
I change lenses a lot. I have a Lowepro rucksack loaded with all my lenses on me at all times. Even if the vicar is very strict this allows me to discreetly changes lenses without problem.
During the ceremony I use the 16-35 f/2.8 as the bride and her father enter, then switch to the 85 f/1.2 and 35 f/1.4 for the exchange of vows, the 35 f/1.4 for the signing of the register and then back to the 16-35 f/2.8 for the exit. Being familiar with the ceremony procedure means you're not changing lenses at key moments.
Hope this helps.
Yours,
David
Yes that's very helpful david. Many thanks. This is a really good blog btw.
What is your que for making it to the exit in time if the Vicar doesn't like you to move? Would it be okay to take flash shots before the ceremony starts generally?
I'm shooting my first church wedding in a few months - and I've got a stern Vicar to deal with. Any other tips appreciated!
Hi Robert,
Thanks for your positive feedback.
The vicar ought to invite you to photograph the signing of the register. Shortly after this will be the exit from the church.
Try and establish the ground rules for photography with the vicar before the wedding. Unfortunately, it's impossible to generalise about what's acceptable.
Good luck!
Yours,
David
Hi David, second picture down in this post - I can see you used flash - how did you avoid the reflection in the Groom's specs?
Thank you!
Ricko
Hi Ricko,
That's a good question.
I typically ask glasses-wearers to lean their heads forward by a degree or two to reflect the flash light downwards. Sometimes a little trial-and-error is required but you can generally get a shot without a reflection.
All the best,
David
Thanks David!
Another question for you:
Like you I enjoy using fast apertures for portraits. I am considering the EG-S focusing screen so I can see the DOF in the viewfinder. I understand you've used one on your old 5D (I think you mentioned it in another post). My question is as these are designed for lenses F2.8 or faster - does stopping one of these lenses down give you the darker image problem you would have if you used a default F4 or slower lens? Or does a darker image only apply if your lens is default F4 or above?
Thank you!
Hi Ricko,
The EG-S focusing screen is only designed to help you with manual focus. It makes it easier to see when a subject is properly focused.
It won't give you any benefit in visualising DOF. To do this you'll still need to press the DOF preview button adjacent to the lens release button on the front of the camera.
When you look through the viewfinder the lens is always set to its widest aperture to allow the maximum amount of light in. It only stops down to the aperture you've selected for your exposure when you fully depress the shutter release button. Hence the reason that a DOF preview button is available (though I have to say I don't find it very useful).
The EG-S screen will transmit less light, hence it's recommended that you only use it with a lens with an aperture of f/2.8 or below. For slower lenses the viewfinder may be unacceptably dark.
Yours,
David
