I've known about the existence of such an extension tube for quite a
while. But I can hardly remember a time when I might have seen it
either offered for sale or photographs taken with its help. It is a
curious item. The most curious thing is why Pentax did not produce
such thing on their own.

It is a AF extension tube that works even with SDM lenses. It is

I have an idea, that is even crazier than most of mine.
You don't need people to actually get married, to shoot a wedding.

excuse to have a fun party, get the word out to a bunch of your friends

In the ancient archives is a 3+ page wedding post,
maybe by Bill Robb, listing all the key pictures to take.
Visit this if you can find it.
As my kid's friends got married, I took pictures and
enjoyed offering them to the parents. It's a painless
way to practice. I did some of this on
That sounds an awful lot like a stupid idea I had when I was single. I
suggested to someone that because we were both single, we should have a
practice date on Valentine's Day. Not surprisingly (or at least, not
surprisingly from a more mature perspective), it went over like a lead
balloon.
Well, I approached my friend Dan about using the unfinished area of his
home as a studio, and he readily agreed (as expected) and wouldn't hear
of charging me for the use of it (again, as expected -- though, I'll
insist on compensating him by hook or by crook). I'm supposed to go over

I believe that the monetary returns on wedding shooting are
commensurate with the effort required. If you decide to go ahead with
it, you should be prepared to spend some money on some training -- at
the *very least* -- and I can recommend the Creative Live videos. They
range from $79 - $149 and
Thanks, Bruce.
Are there any specific video courses that you'd recommend?

went to take my second sip of my first cup of coffee, only to look down
and discover that a fly had decided to end its life therein.)

I think your choice is between these three:

http://www.creativelive.com/courses/wedding-workshop-zach-and-jody-gray

Were it me I'd likely go for the first, Ms. Star. It's also 5
The little I know about wedding photography comes from reading this list plus
watching the photographers at my own weddings. So, no specific advice, but if
it were me, my preparation would probably involve a few aspects.
First, read. (By coincidence this offer showed up in my in-box today. No
Thank you, Bruce.
Based on what I saw, I'd have to agree with your choice. She's pretty
engaging (and easy on the eyes) -- though, I wouldn't want to be her
stenographer. ;)
Welp! Time to start saving pennies again.

Thank you, Stan.
One of the reasons I'm so hesitant about this is that it's going to be
in a setting of the type I've never, ever been in before. From what I
gather, this is going to be a fairly swanky affair replete with bigwigs
and such. So, I can't help feeling I'll be the proverbial turd

One additional thought. You might want to see if you can hire an assistant.
Someone to hold your camera bag, to hold your off-camera flash in position, to
hold your spare camera body, with alternate lens mounted, to hand you as
needed (faster than switching lenses). Note that tv, a former list
Walt: listen to Stan! Especially if you are the sort of person who
puts things down randomly and loses track of them. Like me.
