Haley n Wes




Had some fun this weekend with some friends of ours. This is a crop of a horizontal shot since the details got lost when shrunk down to the size I usually use on this blog. The full picture is better but I couldn't stand for you to miss the expression on his face. They've been married a couple weeks. :)

For you photo guys, if you couldn't guess, it's one umbrella off to camera right, although in addition to my normal sb800, I had a vivitar 285hv in there to give it more juice. By the time we shot this, we didn't need both flashes since the sun had gone down, but I used them both anyways. I split them with a cheap pc cord splitter. Incidentally, the 285HV seems like it was made by the people who make cereal box toys, but it puts out light just the same. If you need a flash and don't have much to spend: 285HV. I got the white of the dress and the black of the pants to co-exist by opening multiple raw versions, -1, -2 stops in this case and painting in what I liked about each exposure. RAW has more dynamic range than jpeg so I always shoot RAW. I might not if I was a wedding shooter with 2000 shots a day to wade through. I think this was my 16-35 but I'm not sure. I was shooting with my 50mm 1.2 at 1.2 originally but man I had trouble getting it to focus properly shooting into the sunlight.
