First Wedding - Third Shooter

[Lyncca]

I switched around quite a bit, but I believe 1-7 were with the 50mm, if not, some 35mm may be mixed in there. #8 is for sure with the 105 macro and possibly #9. If not, then #9 was with the 50mm. I know I shot some full flower arrangements with the macro lens, just not sure which ones.

I'm not home or I could look at the EXIF data.

Good shots, but #1 makes her head look HUGE and the face seems extremely pale. It looks almost as if the head was photoshopped onto someone else's body.

Hey Josh,
I was just looking at your signature. You have a lot of expensive equipment "coming soon". Did you win the lottery or is that a wish list??

Just been saving up for a while. I am trying to space it out some though.I got my 18-200 just a few weeks ago, and an SB-600 about a week ago, then I'll be ordering a new tripod/ball head soon which is another $5XX. After That, I'll start working on the really fun stuff in my signature. I just keep in there so I have a visual reference of where I am at vs. where I plan to be.

Sounds like my Amazon wishlist It's full of things I can't afford yet! The 18-200 is really great for a walkaround lens or vacation. I don't use it for anything professional, but still a very worthwhile investment I think, just for the convenience factor.

Yeah, I got it for when I go offroading. Don't want to be switching lenses in such dusty situations. My plan is to purchase one item on my list each month until It's taken care of. However, I am a bit compulsive so it might take less time than that A few things still need to be refined too... The 24-70 is backordered, I am not 100% sure on the D300 (vs. the D700 or D3 FX bodies), and a few other small uncertainties.

 

[Lyncca]

The D3... I went and looked at the pricetag once. Once I got off the floor, I decided the D300 and eventually the D700 would suit my purposes just fine!

I'm working on lenses now so that when I go up to the D700, I will be off running.

I think the D3 will be overkill for my current needs, and my future needs for quite some time for that matter. That's why I am thinking the D300 is good for now, then get the D3 when I become very serious. D300/D3 is a very popular combo among pro's. Either way, I am only buying FX lenses from now on, so the transition doesn't make me pay twice. Hence my $6,000 list of lenses.

Yea, me too on the FX. Ouch, it is so painful!

I say bonus points for using prime lenses. Cheaper, smaller, lighter, better. ^.^

Great shots!

The shots outside are nice - but it seems when the transition was made to the inside we went into "auto" mode.

 

[Lyncca]

The shots inside and most outside were in full manual. Even aperture priority made the subject very bright with a nearly black background.

I was talking technique/aesthetic not function.

 

[enufced904]

These are excellent. They all look great!

Wow! #5 is amazing! I love the colors! Do you mind sharing the exif for this shot?

Cheers,
