Hi Everyone,

My cousin is getting married this year in Florida and they want me to take photos for them.. it's a small ceremony and nothing over the top so they don't want to spend a lot of money so I said i'd be happy to do it.

I've never really taken photos of people so don't really know what to use.. so was hoping I could get some ideas from people here...

I am thinking I will probably need an external flash and a diffuser.. what about filters and stuff and what settings are best for indoors etc?

any info would be helpful :cheers:

You'll want a fast lens to start with. I have a few that I use for that sort of stuff. Canon EF 135 f/2L - EF 24-70 f/2.8L - 70-200 f/2.8L etc.. If you want to bounce flash check out the gary fong lightsphere clear and cloud diffusers.. They look really good. I haven't used one yet, but I will each of those 2 I reckon.. www.garyfong.com

using a diffuser outdoors is a good way to flatten your flash batteries, and overheat your flash (they are great indoors though)

outside, just point the flash straight at them dialed down 1/3 - 1 stop just to fill the shadows

    • Ended up spending a WHOLE day yesterday cleaning and rearranging my shed.  Due to the aforementioned disorder, my shed is as cluttered and confused as my brain. Again, because of said disorder,  at any one time there are 5 projects on the go at once and because they're still on the go I don't put everything away so I can "get straight back to it" which rarely happens.. So anyway,  I bought a couple of cheap 2mx2m all steel "pallet racks" to put in my back shed.  The idea is to then take pretty much everything out of the main shed that isn't car related. Most of the garden and building stuff is now booted out to the back shed and onto to the shelves where they belong! There's still more rearranging and reallocating to do and it's still a bit busy in there but it's a massive improvement on how it was previously. I've discovered floor space I forgot I had...  For those that have fully dismantled a car before will understand just how much space it takes up!  Particularly panels, bumpers, engine/trans, etc.  I've got stuff hanging on every available wall to get it up off the floor!  This is not exciting content for a blog but has certainly made the shed feel like a more work ready space now!
    • Updating results from our ATR43SS-1 turbo in T3 .63, OEM bolt dump pattern. Not a big number but pretty sweet for a stock Rb20det. Car's managed to pull 220rwkws at 20psi, perfect boost control internally gated with EBC and excellent mid top end power band as they usually skydive after 5.5K. Usual bolt on supporting mods and inlet plenum and factory location exhaust manifold. Pump 98 fuel was used (Ron 93).     
    • Yeah, well, it's not as though anyone is ever going to buy one of those noisy f**kers and put it into a new installation when there are better pumps that are near silent for less money from Ti.
    • I'd suggest having the engine builder listen to it, especially if they assembled it, and minimise how much you run it in the meantime. It may have a serious issue like a big end bearing from the description and I assume the rebuild was not cheap
    • Quite right, typing without checking, it is an 023 which was effectively the replacement for 040 (not that I could find either of them on the Bosch motorsport AU site), and it has a mesh inlet at the bottom of the pump rather than a separate filter
