- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Ok, so I've searched and searched. Nothing. Read all the tips, manuals and books I can find. But this time, I've got a curveball for you.
To put it lightly, I'm no professional however the reason I am posting in the professional forum is because I need a professionals help.
So, Im still young but I have shot a handful of weddings, with few complaints as of yet (from myself and clients). However this upcoming wedding has presented me with a challenge. Even though I myself don't have absolutely the best equipment I know what I have, how to use it, and use it well. At my best friend's brother's impromptu wedding that is soon to be here, he has asked me to photograph. However he ABSOLUTELY INSISTS that I use his camera and lenses. Now I know that he has an Olympus E-500 and maybe 2 lenses (which I'm sure are not very fast). At this point I have not a clue where the wedding is going to take place. What I need you professionals help with is.....
How can I compensate with this equipment and still get some decent photos?
I know that the ceremony is going to be rather small, and that a larger one will follow later in the summer, however I want to get some good photos during the actual marriage.
Basically I am stuck at this point, and I don't want to let him down. Using my own stuff is out of the question, even after insisting and pleading.
I know that he understands my experience level and what he should expect from me, but do you know of any tricks to enhance lighting ect. using maybe a flash or two?
Any and all constructive help is appreciated.
