Day 565



8/2/2008

taken : 8/2/2008

(damn the internets for ruining my photos yet again...oh well...)

...

My dear and long time friend Kristi.

Doesn't she look beautiful?

...

Morgan and I headed down to Carbondale for the wedding.

After some bad and pointless traffic on I-70 we hauled ass down there.

...

The location and wedding were both beautiful.

It was a really fun wedding.

...

I had some time to go through just a handful of pictures of the bridal party (I walked away having shot 9 gigs of the whole wedding).

...

So here is the set up for the party pictures.

Shooting mode manual. ISO 200. f/9. 1/160.
Vivitar 285HV firing @ 1/2 power into a soft silver umbrella camera left triggered via PC synch(pictured right). Sunpak 383 firing @ 1/2 into silver umbrella triggered via cactus v2's camera right (pictured left).

I dialed the exposure down to underexpose by 1 stop to get nice shadow tones in the background, and dialed the flashes in for some solid fill light.



...

Surprisingly enough...the Cactus trigger fired reliably the whole time. I was worried that the sunpak would end up misfiring a lot because of those triggers...but it worked! Wooo!

...

...a candid shot


...



...thanks to Morgan for directing people for these pictures...because I usually just say, "uhhh...do whatever...?"

...

Eventually the sun came out and a few of the pictures of family and parties had a nice goldeny light...I over exposed slightly on those...should have dialed everything down a tad...but nothing I can't fix in post.

...

..anyways..

...
And so starts the long process of actually sorting through and editing all these pictures.

...

Thanks to all for making it a fun a good wedding.


And thanks to Scott for letting me use his pimp ass 1D Mark III and 17-40mm f/4 L Lens while my shit is in the shop. Word.
