"This Takes The Cake"

This Takes The Cake-

"This Takes The Cake"

This is an image I made at this past weekend's wedding.The reception venue is quite unique with its vaulted arching ceiling architecture.

I could've photograph the wedding cake straight on but, since there were guests already in the room I felt the lower vantage point would provide a more interesting view. I carefully position the cake against the plane background being careful not to have it intersect with the first arch above it.

The beautiful lighting on the wedding cake was achieved by the large picture windows on the left side and right side of the reception venue. It was all natural light.  In fact it was great shooting toasts, and the welcome from the bride’s parents at this wedding reception because the lighting was so beautiful.

Okay, this is where I come clean. You’ll never guess what I used to capture this photograph! Look at the camera specs below and prepare to be amazed!

Camera specs: The new iPad (iPad 3) with built in camera, F2.4 @ 1/15 second, 4.28mm (35mm lens – 35mm film equivalent), ISO 250, GPS 40°8'56" N 84°14'25" W. All very cool!  Enjoy!  -David

  3. Interesting. It looks like flash was used on both sides of the cake or was it something else? Looks very good.

  4. I like the inclusion of the GPS co-ordinates. A quick Google search and you can see inside the Grand Ballroom at Fort Piqua Plaza and put the shot into context.
