I'm not insane enough (yet) to shoot an actual wedding. This is a wedding of a very dear friend and they've asked us to do informal shots of the reception. This will be our wedding gift to the happy couple. All they want is 4x6 minilab prints for a small album, but I will keep the negatives in

Unfortunately, this isn't possible in this case unless the rehearsal dinner is at the same place. It's being held about 350 miles from here. Bill, KG4LOV [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > I suggest you make a visit to the place where the wedding reception is to > be held. > Check the lightnings, how high

I suggest you make a visit to the place where the wedding reception is to be held. Check the lightnings, how high the ceiling is, how spacious and big area is, etc... It is always good to be prepared and not arrive at a venue and start cracking ones head. IMHO Jason At 10:41 PM 3/20/2001 -0

At my son's wedding last year I ran out of Portra just before the wedding dance and had to fall back on Gold 200 for the reception and dance shots. The Portra shots came back from the lab just as I expected, great skin tones, less contrast, great detail, your typical wedding photography color

Um...why Gold 200? There are far better films available. Portra comes to mind, as do the Fuji NP family. Doug At 8:00 PM -05003/20/01, [EMAIL PROTECTED] caused thus to appear: > Phillippe. > Don't be such a wimpget in there with your 35mm !!! > Seriously...look thru actual wedd

I've just been informed by the war department that I am to photograph the reception at a wedding on April 7. My plan is to give her the ZX-5n with a 24-50 zoom while I use the PZ-1p with the FA 28-105 and 500FTZ flash, both loaded with Portra 400. Any suggestions/hints would be greatly apprecia
