Shooting a Wedding

Ooops.. that's what I'd do if I had miscue by rewinding the roll and shooting again.

Yeah.. I think I would do the same also.. Otherwise won't know where to hide my face..

all you need is just to overlap one frame, so you miss two shots, no PS can save you. :bsmilie:

Dun need one frame lah.. 1/4 of a frame is bad enough!

Yep, it's not about money, it's not about reputation, it's about other people's happiness

Too risky, I'd rather waste the film by anyhow shooting than rewinding... :bsmilie:

Exactly!! :thumbsup:

I'm sure if it's your wedding, you won't want the photographer to do this.

Yeah.. with the bride and the groom separated? Or the mother and the mother-in-law morphed together? Prize winning shots!! Yeah!! :thumbsup: People will think you shot with medium format somemore hor?

I aways come back with a few rolls of 3/4 exposed rolls during my film shooting days.

you can make a 2R print out of this.:bsmilie:

Yeah.. find some kids to pose for you, but remember what's going to come up next, remember to have enough time to rewind and load a new roll.. If nothing good to shoot. Then just don't shoot anything.. it's just a few inches of plastic.

2S you mean?

 

[catchlights]

2S you mean?

That's why I always use 2 bodies for weddings. And you don't change film when you know something is going to happen. If you know something is going to happen 5-10 mins later and there is probably nothing going to happen at the current moment, it will be wiser to check your film counter, if you have less than 5 shots on a body left, time to put in a new roll. It should not take more than 2 mins. If you think that something is going to happen, then don't change. That's why very important to use 2 bodies and stagger your shots so that if you reach end of the roll on one body you still have half a roll on the other body.

But i don't have 2 SLR bodies hehe...i've heard that in some cases the photographer have an assistant so that the assistant can load a new roll of film for the main photographer while he continues shooting.

You won't want to use anything wider than 24mm for film when shooting people. The corners are quite unuseable for people because of the perspective distortion of such lenses. Faces will get distorted and I'm quite sure the guests won't like that.

Oh...well i guess i'll just try to see it as 28mm's not very wide enough for the table shots.

If you don't have a 2nd body, then you really need to schedule your shots properly lor.. Bring along a PnS, it will come in useful if the situation arises. Better to have a lower quality shot than no shot at all.

You'll be surprised. 28mm is quite ok but good to have a wider lens just in case there is really no space. Distorted picture better than no picture.
