Wedding Day!
Meghan & Dan’s wedding went perfectly this weekend! The rain held off until we were on the road home Sunday, and the day of the wedding was sunny! My flickr has all the images from the rehearsal dinner up, but I’m still working on the wedding photos.
Weddings are very hard to photograph well. The reception site was beautiful, but when you have a canopied deck looking out over a sunny harbor, the people are quite dark (or the water is over exposed). Once the sun goes down, there’s no light left for photos! It was even worse inside - the dance floor had no lights, so it was all flash photography (I hate built-in flash)… Of course this had no bearing on the actual event!! Aside from my photography everything went beautifully!
Another photo-trouble was the moon. It was certainly big enough to fit into some pictures… but a 50mm (or slightly more or less) focal length makes the moon (giant to our eyes) look tiny. It’s very hard to get far enough away for 200mm to get the whole view:
My best picture of the church:
