So I have this amazing opportunity to shoot for a hot shot well known photogrpaher from New York who was in San Diego for a wedding. He picked my name out of 150 other photogs applying to assist him. I threw my hat in for the hell of it, I never expected to be picked but he called and we talked for a while on the phone about photography and availability He was impressed and picked me. So I show up feeling very good. Have all my gear and nothing to fear. I start shooting around 1:30 pm on an overcast day. I shoot for a couple of hours and everything is going great until I realize I'm in 2500 ISO OUCH!! Can you believe that CRAP. I cant believe I did it. Oh well Noise Ninja can help. Fantastic shots none the less, Cant wait to show you guys.
BRAAAAAAAD I need your help!!!!!! |

I think it's time for someone to invent a little plastic card that has "checklist" in it and goes into our key chains. Just to look at it before you start shooting.
ISO = checked
WB = Checked
Aperture = checked
...and so on. I have done this a few times too, and it is very very annoying. I learned my lesson less painful than yours honestly, but I still think there should be something other than our experience, think about the pilots, they go checklist in every flight even they fly 45 years... although photography checklist would have only 4 items, they are very important... crashing an airplane one thing, but crashing your wedding photos... my gosh... heavy.
good luck

Sad to say, and I won't be the only one giving you grief, but, check, double check, and triple check your gear, your settings, and your surroundings.
Don't go in to a job over confident because you will be tunnel visioned.
A pro in my industry never turns over a frame before checking the settings, the light levels, and any distractions or bogeys in the frame.
Good luck.

Luckily the Mark III has pretty low noise even up to ISO 3200.
Still... not a good way to start out a relationship with a Pro.

Can I assume I will see a Jeep pull in the driveway in the morning? PLEASE tell me you shot in RAW !!!
And here I sat most of the day doing almost nothing.
Well, almost nothing:
