"First Kiss Of The Evening"

"First Kiss Of The Evening"
© David A. Ziser

I think this is a great image of the wedding couple alone in this magnificent ballroom moments before the guests arrive and begin the reception. The light, colors, and composition all combined to make it a favorite for the couple. Camera specs; Canon 5D fitted with Sigma 12-24mm lens at 12mm, F6.3 @ 1/8 second - handheld, ISO 800. And yes, my remote Quantum flash was being held by my assistant behind the couple. Enjoy! -David

  1. What a great shot! Was this hand held? I dont know how you could take that shat at 1/8 even at ISO 800. Please tell us how you took this shot.

  2. Great picture. The 12-24 is an excelent lens, and you make it work extremelly well.

    Do you shot with a tripod? The 1/8 seems to slow for my hands.

  3. Hi Everybody,
    Hand held as always - I never carry a tripod to a wedding these days. (I'll probably get some emails on that one.;~) -David
