Hiya fellow nikonians,
Seeking your valuable advices (esp pros in this field adopting Nikon for their wedding setup)
Done a fair bit of homework for my brohter-in-law upcoming AD Wedding this sat. Already famaliarized with my cam bodies and lens and flashes deep inside out for the past 1 yr...& on theory knows how to nail that exposure in normal/tricky lighting conditions...But put those aside, have no prior experience in shooting a AD.
To emphasize, i'm the secondary shooter.
The only thing bothering me right now is how to juggle among my gears to derive 2 combinationS such that i got most shots covered, from grp/table shots to space constraint HDBs to closeup shots to tele portraits etc.. (Already came up with a "What to shot in a Wedding" list )
Detest the idea of having to change lens in the middle of such a impt event knowing that nth matters more than capturing that perfect moment.
To give a brief walkthrough of what to anticipate on Sat :-
Morning Session
Make up from 4am
Gatecrush from 6am (5 room HDB flat)
To Groom House from 8am (4 room HDB flat)
Back to Bride House from 930am
Lunch Wedding Session (Ballroom for 55 tables but only 38 invited)
1130am to 4pm
Much appreciated if you will to kindly share your thoughts or shed some light onto my proposed selections (feasible or impratical) and any other ideas/lens suggestions are most welcome though ideally i will wish to stick with my arsenal for now.
Note : The above poll is segregated by a "|" in which in between is the Morning Session | Lunch Session
GFCLoud /DembFlip/Stofen will be used on my 2 SB900s (one's borrowed) as and when required.
I might use only one SB900 on my primary set up in the morning session and my 105macro for detailed shots of objects with great sentimental values (wedding bands/bouquet/bride's shoes etc)
Thanks in adv~!
