[Dömötör Balázs]

 Sziasztok!

 Esküvő fényképezésére készülök, mint ahogy gondolom néhányan közülünk.
 A Pentaxos listán jelent meg ez a levélke, gondolom sokunknak van benne néhány megszívlelendő tanács, ráadásul a rengeteg ökölszabály _összegyűjtve_.

Megosztom veletek!

 Subject: RE: Wedding photographing
 
  
 1. Explain to the bride&groom you have
 zero experience at weddings and they
 are risking getting poor or NO results.
 This is ESSENTIAL because things can go wrong
 and you must make it known you will try
 but cant guarantee ANYTHING AT ALL. That
 way if they are unhappy for any reason
 you can honestly say & know you warned them!!!!
 
 1A. Get them to use two or more photographers
 during ceremony, even if they have to
 resort to amatuers w/disposable-flash cameras, the more
 viewpoints the better. Plus it takes pressure
 off you if something goes wrong.
 
 2. The book will explain the types of shots
 to get. Pre-ceremony, ceremony, reception,
 etc. Individuals, couples, gruops,
 church, hall. etc. BUY THE BOOK!!!!!!!
 Explain to bride/groom in advance
 what amount of time youll need to get these essential shots.
 on day of wedding, many couples think the
 photographer can passively get the shots, not true.
 You have to be the director!!! Ask bride/groom
 what shots are "must-have" in advance, that
 way when you ask for poses wedding day
 they must comply your requests.
 Take notes and bring them with you on day of shoot!!!!
 
 3. Do not drink alcohol, if anything goes
 wrong you will be blamed for being a "drunk".
 
 4. Do not use any new equipment or techniques.
 You need reliability above all. Test flash sync
 on all cameras in advance with back open
 if possible looking thru film gate.

 5. Carry backup cameras, lenses and flashes
 
 6. Carry twice the film and batteries you think youll need.
 
 7. Use flash cord if possible not hot shoe and test
 flash sync between every roll of film/
 
 7a. Use alkiline or lithium batteries for flash,
 nicads run out to fast. Change when recycle gets too long
 . Dont be cheap with film OR batteries.
 
 8. Constantly check that camera is set to flash
 sync speed as you shoot. On many cameras its too
 easy to bump speed setting
 
 9. Shoot film and hand over exposed rolls at end.
 If you take to lab and they screw it up YOU will be blamed.
 Let them pick lab.
 
 10. Shoot two of every critical shot or many more when photographing
 groups. All too often someone blinks.
 
 11. Use Fuji NPH 400 and use EI of 200. This gives you more room
 for exposure errors. The results at EI 200 are gorgeous.
 Use 36 exposure rolls for obvious reasons. Make sure all
 film is from same emulsion batch.
 
 12. If your using 35mm SLR which i recommend, dont attempt
 fill flash outdoors. Use open shade lightling without flash.
 I used a 28-105 F4 lens which is ideal, but it can be
 hard to focus. Thats why 400 speed film and small apertures are a
 must.
 
 13. Ceremony is difficult, get position behind pastor if allowed so
 you
 can shoot faces of bride/groom and also get aisle shots. But dont
 attempt aisle shots too long, flash has limits...
 
 14. Reception - ALWAYS take table groups shots BEFORE food is
 served, afterwards tables will be too messy.
 
 15. Get pix of band or DJ, ( my book didnt suggest this
 but its nice).
 
 Then theres the OBVIOUS!!!!!
 
 16. MAKE SURE film is advancing after loading.
 
 17. Dont forget to rewind BEFORE opening camera back!
