HERE'S LOOKING AT YOU MR PHOTOGRAPHER !!!!!!!

tartin69 — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 01:40:36 +0100

by: tartin69

Description: Another candid from yesterdays wedding,i must admit when i'm not being paid to capture priceless moments at weddings i find it a lot easier than when i am,for anybody that hasn't yet covered a wedding,i've always said it sorts the men from the boys,high pressure,you "have" to come up with the goods,no second chance unlike landscape photography where the same images have been there for millions of years,and if you screw up you can just revisit,wedding photographers haven't got that privilege,people in my experience at weddings "Suck",don't listen,drink to much,dont want a photo,and to cap it all,your working with the two extremes of exposure,black suit and white dress,why do i do it,because of images like this,in my opinion PRICELESS,Mart.
