STEV said:no.. heard they are enaged from jb from the bridal studio. nothing personally against photographers there, but for indoor photography using direct flash from built in cam are :sweat: .
madmacs said:that shows that you never know what you going to get when you engage photographers from studio, esp if studio charge you cheap like $400.
If u are saying Tea Ceremony, well I had done it with built in flash. Shadows a little harsh on the walls. But bo pian, cos flash battery ran completely flat.STEV said::dunno: went to attend my wife's friend dinner recently and saw 2 photographers using build in flash and shoot all night long... dun know what will be end products... was kind of speechless when i saw that.
Jio me along to back up you next time, I'll do CLS ;pmpenza said:it's the end results that count. as long as they can deliver, using built-in or external, doesn't really matter much, and having external flash does not automatically mean good results (e.g. bouncing off high or colored ceilings could make things worse!).
that said, i like to use elaborate flash setup (wireless trigger plus Lightsphere) for weddings, especially when i'm just a backup.... quite fun ;p

Pro Image said:Usually, studio photographers skills are ok for actual wedding day shoots but you will not get higher standard like JOHO and Kelvin. JOHO and Kelvin do post process but those in JB just shoot, transfer and print.:bsmilie:
I'll use color-gels even ;pmpenza said:with 8 SB800 sticking out behind ur back? would be fun ;p

wish i could use "batteries running flat" as an excuse for poorly lit images.. :think:STEV said:If u are saying Tea Ceremony, well I had done it with built in flash. Shadows a little harsh on the walls. But bo pian, cos flash battery ran completely flat.
If u are talking wedding dinner... I don't know how the hell that is going to be possible. Serious.
with v. high ceilings somemore...:what: normally i brought 20 AA size batteries out for wedding, if built in flash is able to make it, well that cut a lot of the weights...
STEV said:do u brought tripod for the setup? kee..kee... must try one day.

synapseman said:But really, not all couples really bother about actual day photography. The fact that so many of them have their budget between $0-$50 sums up a lot. They are not so interested in whether your pics turn out with great composition and exposure. Can see face, can already. They just want the table-to-table shots to see who got come that day to give ang-pao.
hmm.... sad to said what you said are quite true.
