How to start into wedding photography ?
"Randall Ainsworth" wrote in message ... I know it's heresy to say this (here), but I'd suggest going digital. Also no weddings until you have become quite familiar with using Photoshop and digital imaging processes and printing. I've had a 500C and SWC etc., but I consider them all to be collector items at this point. I now use a Kodak 14n and various flash systems including a modified Quantum 400 W-S, and carry a Nikon D100 for backup. Shoot in RAW mode and you can capture a latitude of 10 stops (try THAT with film). Nowdays it is also common to use bluescreen masking methods to position your subjects into surroundings of their choice, and this is very easy with digital. In fact just about everything is much easier with digital, and you'll get better results, too!! (let the flames begin...) I used Hasselblads exclusively for 20+ years but if I were to get back into it again, I'd go digital. A handy trick if you are any good with these digital things is to down load onto a laptop and sell at the reception. Get'em while they are hot so to speak. Myself I'm purely film but I can well see the advantages of digital but don't sell yourself short with cheap bottom end equipment. Quality costs although in fairness there be few who can tell after a few beers at the reception. |
