Wah lau Clive, y u spoil marketclive said:
.I know you mean well, but seriously, I would not offer to this free unless it is for close friends or relatives, not very fair to the guys here who make a living from this.
Just me thots, take care!
oops...ehehe..er..didnt realise got the other side of the picture.. :sweat: :angel: dunno if mr hagenuk himself is the "comissioned pro tasked to cover the wedding" or if he is the "enthusiatic family member wanting to get good pics for his sister"...paiseh paiseh ..my motive was just to lend a lens for a small small fee, pop down say hello, shake hand wif mr hagenuk himself, chat abit about photography, witness a wedding ceremony, lend myself to help mr hagenuk cover more angles; if he is the "commissioned pro" then i be his freePA for that day, if he is not the "commissined pro" then me n mr hagenuk still take a few shots by the side but dont onstruct the commisioned pro, ..u know, that kind of fun arrangement..guess i being too friendly liaoz..kekeke =)
Thanks for so many replies... Actually i'm the only photographer for my sister. Btw, i'm not paid, only asking for an ang bao and she pay for the developing.
I'm not a pro, but do have a few experience covering friends wedding.
Used to own a few lens, but sold off most of them since I have no time to shoot. Thought of getting a new 70-200 f2.8, but than I think it will be another white elephant in the dry cabinet, so might as well if possible rent it from some kind soul

u had been convering friends wedding b4, then u should know unless there is outdoor shoot, or church wedding at churches where the pastor/priest do not wish to see flashlights and photographer, the 70-200 f/2.8 is virtually useless.hagenuk said:Thanks for so many replies...

Hi there BB,blurblock said:
I was intending to use exactly that lens for my sis's wedding ;p , why do you say it is useless? Wouldn't it be good for indoor candid portraits? Be happy to hear your thoughts.
Cheers,

well, my 2 cents worth. Indoor is normally too cramped to use a 70-200.. even at 70 the crop is too tight. In wedding, the fav is 16-35 and 24-70.
most of the time end up shooting wide.
Heh heh! So true. I know clive has good intentions, and is volunteering out of 'love for photography'. But I think pro photogs are facing a lot of price pressure these days, and for serious hobbyists like you and me with pro level equipment to come in and offer all-comers FREE service must be very disheartening. Of course our skill level may not match the pros, but it will still create downward price pressure if every hobbyist here offers to shoot for free.blurblock said:
For me its a hobby, for others, its bread and butter.....
Just my personal thots, YMMV.
Cheers,
actually the 70-200 is more for outdoor shoot only, for indoor i still have a 28-70 f2.8.blurblock said:
