My latest wedding

[Robin Usagani]

I noticed you used ISO50 in some not a good idea, i tried it when i got my 5D and it is not as good as ISO100

I havent noticed that it the IQ isnt as good. I sometime push it down to 50 when I shoot wide open. Ill keep that in mind.

Nice series. Looks like a crappy time of day too; how were you lighting those?

During the ceremony it was back lit by the sun but the blue sky is on the other side. Hazy sky, i hated it. I didnt light it at all during the ceremony. I just meter the subject, underexpose it a bit and hoping i can get some detail back from the sky. During the formal photos I used on camera flash with big group and reflector for only b & g.

Alright here's a silly question. When you use a reflector, do you have an assistant with you? I've never figured out how to hold a reflector and work the camera at the same time without putting the camera on a tripod.

You can hang the reflector on a tripod and adjust the leg to get the vertical angle you want. But on this shot I just asked one of the bridesmaid to hold it. She is the bride's MAID afterall hahaha.

Assistant or a reflector holding arm that mounts on the tripod swivel head thingy with a counterweight. They are oh so handy.

 

[Robin Usagani]

You use reflector only on a smaller group. You will always have somebody hold the reflector even if you dont have an assistant.

Schwetty the time of day looks rough dude. If you won't go OCF ever tried the lastolite trip-grip diffuser? This size should be enough for the B and G Amazon.com: Lastolite 30" Tri Grip 1 Stop Triangular Shaped Translucent Diffuser: Electronics

I got the -2 stop version and beats flash most of the time.

 

[Robin Usagani]

So face them toward the sun right? So you can only do face shot?

Yeah you can do that too. But what where I used it the most is when the sun is up high to avoid the harsh shadows. You can even use it to diffuse flash as well.

The images are extremely flat, the WB is off in many and they are underexposed. Sorry, not your best at all.

Here's one of the ones you posted on FM:

It was a very hard venue and wedding. It was at a lake house. Big wedding party (10 bm, 10 gm, flower girl, ring boy, bride and groom) on a platform surrounded with water. Not a lot of angles to work with at the ceremony. I needed a boat. I just want to post some of my favorites. Still a lot of culling and processing to do. CCs are always welcome.

Kinda sound like your last wedding Mo. Your WB was off, skin was red. And a few days later you fixed it. Thats why I post them here. I have only published 3 pictures on facebook. Doh. Really Mo, can you avoid my threads? If you havent noticed, I dont post on yours.

The girls are at it again!

Good luck to you too! I already took the pledge not to post stuff on beginners forum. Just trying to improve this forum.

And I gave you my C&C. Don't be too thick skin. You ain't gonna improve on any forum if you keep that attitude. I always used to tell you, learn from your mistake and prove it rather than getting mad at people. Obviously I am at where I am for a reason getting into it months after you.

 

[Robin Usagani]

Then give me a CC. "Sorry, not your best at all" comment at the end, I dont take it very lightly especially because of our history. I dont like you, you dont like me. Let's avoid posting on each other's post. Very simple.

Quoting you "Mo, it's ok if we don't stay friends on AIM and I'm happy with us just being friends on forum (TPF, FM, etc) and comment on each other's stuff there" - DOH!

Anyway, I just came here after a while and saw your post, gave you a C&C. And no, they're not your best work, which means I've obviously seen work done by you which I admired. You have a history of this. You had a history of bringing up how this photographer sucked, how that photographer sucked, matter of fact, you even used to tell me how I sucked and I could never get jobs with my crappy work. Which is the reason why I stopped talking to you. I don't like bringing **** up on forums but when you try to go make me look like an ass by bringing **** up from personal "history" it doesn't work well with me.

End of the day, I gave you a C&C if you don't like it, sorry, that's just your problem. But coming into a public forum, expect it.
