"What A Beautiful Day"

"What A Beautiful Day"
©David A. Ziser

Here is one of the images I made during Saturday's wedding. The large bay window served as a perfect background for this bridal image. I went strictly with the available light to capture this image.  Don’t forget  to frame your subject within the smaller window frame too – it just looks better.

Exposing for the bride necessitated me to over-expose the outdoors. I knew that would push the exterior tonalities to the higher key tones you see here. This is always a nice lighting technique for window light wedding photography and results in a beautiful portrait of the bride.

Camera specs: Canon 7D fitted with Sigma 8-16mm lens at 8mm, F5.6 @ 1/100 second, ISO 1250. Enjoy! -David

  1. David, why did you use such a high ISO when you had so much available light?

  3. David,
    Did you spot meter bride face? If you did then which side, the shadow side (right side of the bride) or left side of the face where light was falling?

  4. Like the 1st post, I too am curious. All those windows with all that light and all that white including your lens at 8mm and you able to recorded detail in that image at those settings?

  5. Hi,
    I too am curious as to the settings mentioned for this shot. It would seem that so much light coming through so many large windows would produce the "Polar bear in a snow storm" effect at those settings.
