Good Morning Everybody,
Schimmel Hall, was the location for the debut of the very famous TriBeCa Film Festival years ago as well as being the stage for Al Pacino, John Goodman, and Jeff Goldblum, and many others.
We spent most of our first real day in the city walking, and walking, and walking - about 5 miles worth. With Elizabeth's graduation events, the B&H shootout on Thursday, and the Broadway play tickets we nabbed yesterday, our calendar is pretty well filled up for the week. And that's a good thing ;~)
You know, even with all the walking we did yesterday, I took very few photographs. The day was cloudy and we seemed preoccupied with to many other activities. Well see what happens today. Anyway, that's the latest, greatest update from the Big Apple. How about we get on with today's Technique Tuesday. Here we go.
Getting The Money Shot! Getting The Essential Photographs Of The Bride
Because this is a big family week for LaDawn and I, and also vacation time for the both of us, I decided to share with you a Technique Tuesday from a few years back. I'm also sharing it with you because it was not heavily viewed and was probably missed by most of our DPT readers in spite of the important content on how to make people look good in front of the camera.
When I reviewed this video this morning, I was surprised just how much detail I went into when making the original post. I really do think it points up the important reasons why we need to get these essential bridal photographs at a wedding.
Every now and then, someone will comment on one of my images of the day and that comment will give me an idea for a future post. That’s exactly what happened a few weeks ago when I posted "Rocky Mountain High" and someone commented about my cutting off the bride's gown in the photograph. You should never cut off the bride's gown.
I agree 100% with the remark, except when I cut off the bride's gown. So, how about a discussion about when to cut off the gown and when not to cut off the gown. Hey, wait a second, let me give you the whole scoop on photographing a bride - what you need to cover, how to cover it, what you should expect as final result. Fasten your seat belts and hit PLAY below and watch and listen.

Hey gang, that's it for me today. We're going to take in a few more sites of the city before we head to Liz’s Honors Ceremony this evening. Tomorrow is my daughter's actual graduation ceremony so I'm planning to pass on tomorrows post and plan to be here with a very "lively" post on Thursday. The title? The Worst Wedding Advice In The World For Photographers! I'm really fired up!
See ya’ then, David
