The most important thing is the active AF point (either use ECF or practise quick selection beforehand). Keep the point always on the face of the bride! (It's probably more important to get good photos of her :-) Not only will you get better flash exposure this way, but this will also ensure that you won't focus accidentally behind the couple (between them). Flash exposure compensation... dunno, I'd trust the E-TTL as the exposure can be ruined just as easily with the development... or by fiddling with the FEC at the wedding. (I would shoot with M-mode and use about the widest aperture and then fiddle with the exposure time trying to get nice backgrounds... that's enough for me.) But I'd do the same as what Peter said: shoot Portra 400 as 320 (or 250). If outside, I'd go with Portra 160, but again over exposing at least 1/3. -- Hugo. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
