I'm going to take wedding pictures in a few months and I've only done two other really small weddings. I'm lookin for any advice as to how to best use my equipment, what type of film, filters, etc..and any techniques/advice you can give me for taking wedding pictures- indoor and outdoor. I will be using a Nikon N80 SLR camera and have a Nikon lens 28-80mm as well as a Quantaray lens 100-300mm. I also have a promaster FTD 7000M flash, which I'm not too familiar with. Any suggestions for the best results would be greatly appreciated... Thanks, wedding photography isn't brain surgery. there has been plenty posted on the what and how of wedding photography, read back on google.groups one thing I recommend is that you shoot a engagement portrait. This is like a dress rehearsal. They get a preview of what they could expect from you, and more importantly, they get a clue about what they need to do on their part of the image making. This really gives you a lot of help on the wedding day. I recommend a tripod for the formal shots, you can use a slow shutter speed and pick up detail in the background, this makes the images look so much better and the added exposure to the background makes it much easier for the lab to print. Bright white dresses against a really black background is very hard to for both the camera's and the lab's auto exposure routines. film is film, what kind of paper does it get printed on, what paper does your lab run? filters? are you shooting color neg? then forget filters |

I second that thought. However nothing says that Marissa
can't be or become that person. In article , Randall Ainsworth wrote: In article hYhVc.42641$mD.5205@attbi_s02, zeitgeist wrote: wedding photography isn't brain surgery.
