Fellow Nikon Enthusiasts,
I believe I started the great "micro" debate with my question
of which to buy the 60 or the 105. My decision was to buy the 105.
The volumes of info provided were, and are appreciated. When I
pointed out to the salesperson that the lens became a 5.6 at micro he
was surprised and said he never knew that. I got my first roll of
Velvia back yesterday, impressive, at least to me.
Weddings. Being the primary photographer is the most
STRESSFULL position I've ever been in. That includes skydiving,
bungee jumping, and other foolish things I've done to myself over the
last 30 plus years. That being said you've got to start somewhere.
The first wedding I ever did was an outdoor affair on a partly cloudy
day. Thank god for matrix metering and fill flash! I did'nt know
what I was getting into so there was no fear factor. I did not know
what was expected or what the must have shots were. That was 5 years
and several weddings ago. I agree with most of the comments posted
so far. Your most recent post pretty much said you are locked in for
this event. Make it crystal clear that you will do your best based
upon your abilities and they will have to live with the results good
or bad. If they still want you to do the shoot, then research is the
next step my friend. If possible spend the day in a library and read
through every wedding photography book they have. Make a list of
shots you want to attempt to duplicate, copy them if possible for
posing referance. The day of the wedding, arrive early, stay late,
and shoot till the fat lady sings. You are there for one purpose to
shoot the wedding. You will most likely have to be the "conducter" for
whatever kind of posed shots you have chosen. If you need or want
more information you can e-mail me directly at:
