|  | I was a guest at my good friend Ching's wedding last Saturday, June 28. I was itching to bring most of my photo gear but I told myself that I should enjoy the wedding AS A GUEST. And I was with my wife - I think it might be a little rude if I left her alone while I cover the wedding as a "guest" photographer.
I brought my D80, 50mm F1/.8 lens, a 2GB SD card, and the neck strap - nothing more. No speedlights, no camera bag, no handstrap, no extra battery and memory cards, nothing.
I wanted to move around the church but I forced myself not too. The lighting was warm and diffuse inside the church. I told myself that I would have had a grand time shooting if I were the official photographer.
For most of the reception photos, I used the pop-up flash. |
| | Our Friend, Jacque, along with some of her friends, organized a birthday party last June 11, 2008 for her long-time friend Sarah. The party and mini-concert doubled as a fund-raising event for Children's Garden Philippines.
It was a night full of song and music. Almost everyone who held the mic did a song or two. This was one musical bunch!
Jacque did a great job at setting up the venue. The venue was already elegant, but the balloon accents and overall setup certainly added festivity and character to the event! I suggest that you check out Party Boosters or drop Jacque a line if you want to liven up your party!
Side note: This shoot almost killed me out of anxiety. One of my favorite photography equipment, my speedlight, got busted a few minutes before the event. I had to use my low light lens more often. I had to step back a great deal especially for group shots because this lens' zoom is fixed (2x-3x of the more common wide setting). And thank God for the mobile's flood light, most of my shots would've been impossible without that. |
| | No, I'm not talking about rules for the beach.
It's been a while since I took artsy photos. Yesterday, I had the quick opportunity to take photos in a beach resort in Nasugubu, Batangas while my family is resting after eating a heavy lunch. |
