Great idea, but what are the chances that the lighting will be the same on the different days, or at different times? What if you take the empty shots on a sunny day, and the wedding day is a cloudy rainy one? |
Take them the same day - after the people move, just keep shooting. Or before they are ready to do your shots, just shoot some. Or both. But yes, on the same day, under the same conditions.

I was told that my shots were overexposed based on some landscape shots in my portfolio (see link below). I am a newbie to all this but I have a friend getting married July 18th and I promised to do some amature shots for her, but I would like them to be the best I can do. Since her dress, flowers, and candles will all be white, I am worried about this exposure thing (which i know nothing about). Any advice about my camera settings, raw mode, etc? Its an inside wedding. Should I try the bracketing (where you take 3 shots of exposure)? I am sorry I am so new to this, but I never had experience with a 35mm or any camera for that matter. I just got mine in January and am really interested in learning. I made #7 in the last challenge, so I must not be that bad? i hope! lol
Thanks in advance for any advice

S5000 have 64 segment metering,just put -03 EV so the white parts don't get burned.Don't worry, your cam is very balanced one. |

The only indoor flash photography will be after the ceremony for some group shots at the alter. Luckily (since I don't have any fast lenses)they don't want any pictures of the ceremony.

Thanks for this tip. There seems to be plenty of opinions on this, I'm almost sorry I asked. But I think I can piece together a good plan:
-Shoot in RAW mode
-Bracket
-Buy a 2GB card for all the RAW bracketed images
-Get two assistants: one to hold a 2nd flash & the other to hold the 3 meter-wide reflector
-Photoshop the background in
-Warn the couple the pictures may turn out bad
-Pray it rains & we'll have to shoot inside!
Sorry for the sarcasm, I couldn’t resist. Actually all the replies are helpful, Thank You all!

Excellent movies! Thanks for sharing. I'm not into sports photography (at least not yet), so I initially thought that this wouldn't be of interest to me. If anyone else had the same thought, erase it from your mind & check out the clips - they are not sports specific at all.
