Would love to see some of your wedding candids.<BR/><BR/>So I've been wondering why they were relegated to the drawer in the SLR era, I think that part of it was that film was a bit more permissive with lightning conditions so versatility was number one priority over fast small lens.Alvaro MAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09262482280637072275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-24600552146806979622008-10-12T14:27:00.000-04:002008-10-12T14:27:00.000-04:00I just discovered your blog a few days ago and hav...I just discovered your blog a few days ago and have been reading and learning for a couple of hours a night. Thanks for all the work you put into it.<BR/><BR/>I like the fact that you are practical about selecting equipment that gets the job done that you want to do without worrying about the cache of shooting with only L lenses or whipping out your 5D just because you have one. What matters is how you compose, light, and capture the shot, much more than knowing that it would still be tack sharp if you decided to enlarge it to 400% just because you could.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations to Mark. I believe he was your assistant when you photographed our wedding in October 2002. When I make my husband act as my light stand or otherwise assist me, we refer to him as "Mark."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-18034807648525908412008-10-10T18:18:00.000-04:002008-10-10T18:18:00.000-04:00I get the feeling you prefer your 40D to a full fr...I get the feeling you prefer your 40D to a full frame sensor camera for weddings. While I only do 6-8 weddings a year by choice, I've been happier with a full frame camera than a 1.6x body. It's nice to have a real wide angle lens with my trusty old 17-40. The 24-105 seems more versatile on a full frame sensor body. And since I always have my 70-200 close at hand, I guess your right in that the old 50 is relegated to a back-up of the back-up role.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
