A friend of mine's maid is getting maried, and due to the lack of funds, I was/am willing to photograph the wedding. I don't plan on asking for any money, except to cover the cost of getting the pictures printed (where should I do that btw?).
Anyway, I have never done special event photography, but I have wanted to do it for a while. I am clueless though, as to how I should conduct myself, and my camera. I consider myself to be shy sometimes too, and I am afraid that might get in the way of things such as conducting group shots.
My guess is that its going to be a very low-end wedding. I plan on taking a tripod, my Canon PowerShot S1 IS, and the camera I finaly convinced my mom to buy yesterday, a Rebul 300D.
I don't even know how to start asking, or where to start looking. I just want to do as good of a job as I can do, especialy since it will be the first time I will have an SLR all to myself.
Does anyone have any experience in the field? Any tips? Any tricks? Should I be using the highest quality? I have a little more than 700 MB worth of memory (compact flash). Will the battery on the SLR last long enough?
