Well I have finally arrived at part five of the Art of Photograph, and this is the first exercise, I need to tell a story in pictures and I chose to do a bride getting ready on her wedding day, I knew that I would not have room for a tripod and at times I managed to squeeze myself into small gaps just to get not only these shots but plenty of others, I choice to use iso 200 for all the indoor shoots with flash and flash whitebalance, I debated whether to use my 50mm prime lens but in the end I settled on my 18 to 200 mm lense to give me a bit more flexibility, one thing that was challenging was the windows in the hotel were reflective and I had a few problems to begin with for example the flash was bouncing off the window, but I got round it by altering where I photographed everyone. (It was a bit disspointing as the indi car race was on and could be seen from the window I really wanted to take a photograph of the bride looking out at the race).
As I have said in the story board this was my sister in laws wedding day, not only was I present and able to take photographs of her and the bridal party getting ready I was also very honoured to be asked to be the official photographer on the day. My brother in law who was the groom also have a love of photography so there was even more pressure on me to get it right I am very pleased to report that they loved the photographs.
