Hello all ,
Yesterday I was tasked on one of the scariest mission on earth : beeing
the official shooter of a wedding !
I had never done it officially and I can say this is really scary .
Scary to miss the particular shot I was asked to take , scary that someone
crosses in front of me at the decisive moment ( it actually happened ! ) ,
scary
to develop the films .
I was the only one authorized to take pictures in the church during the most
important ceremony .
Before that wedding , I began preparing my photo bag with M6 and M2 , the 3E,
a 50 'cron , a 35 'cron , an Elmarit 90 , and loads of Tmax 100 , not to
forget that
SF20 .
But finally , I ended up going the only the M6 and 3E , the SF20 , and 5
films .
No bags , no weigh , no inconvenience .
This plan worked well . I didn't forget to take a spare set of batteries for
the SF 20
and the M6 TTL . This helped me well since I had to replace those CR123's on
the
SF20 in the middle of the action .
I have developped the films yesterday evening and made contacts . Everything
is OK .
One of those nice pics is the one taken at the end of the church ceremony
with
everyone throwing rice and paper flowers . 1/30 th at f11 with the 28 ( on 3E
) , the
result is what I expected : you're really in the middle of the action with
that one .
Regards
