Gosh,I guess I will have the prospective bride read this thread!!!.My friend just wants some casual shots,as it is her daughters 2cnd marriage(so I guess "white" will hopefully not be on the agenda!!!).She does not want the hassle of sorting through 100 odd photos to decide which to keep etc.
Lenses which could be used,Tamron 28-300,a very clear lens when used with a 300d,a 60mm Macro(not sure as to this one-I have been practising on the dog!!),and the 18-55 kit lens.The 20d has gone off to be cleaned,and the 350d will follow when the 20 returns
My main problem is judging the distance,being unable to crouch down to take shots of bridesmaids(I think the brides 2yr old daughter ,may be a bridesmaid),and also the main query,which basic setting to use.RAW is definitely out,I have not used this prog yet,so whether to use,P,auto,or portrait,and whether or not to use the 550 EX flash unit(I think that is the one) or the cameras own built in.Someone did suggest it may be better to have the unit pointing in the air,rather than bent over.
I will suggest to the bride that I send the prints to Photobox,and I am only accepting a token donation for our local Inshore Rescue.
I am just not very good with indoor shots,and I think determining which prog to use is the main query.Just wish I had someone to practise on,apart from the dog-who is black!!.
