Photo Forum / Digital Photography / Digital Photo / June 2007WEDDING PICTURE DURING NIGH TIME
Dear Members, Can anyone give me little advise on how to check my vendors camera specs before assigning to shoot my customers' wedding. Several cases, Wedding during night time, under the low light for long distance objects, the result turn unsatisfactorily, not so well catched. Reasons sometimes I got was : - Ocean humidity (open air shoot) - Different quality of light affect (fires, bulb, and th eflast itself) How shal I respond to this situation? Several successful picture, I took and put on the sites...(some of them are affcting by theis case). Thank you www.baliroyalwedding.com > Dear Members, > Can anyone give me little advise on how to check my vendors camera [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Thank you > www.baliroyalwedding.com You are asking very basic questions about photography. Do you really think you are qualified to be doing Commercial Wedding Photography.?? You could very easily ruin their memories of the "Once in a Lifetime" event. If you were operating in the UK or USA, you could find yourself being sued for considerable sums of money due to your professional incompetance. It sounds to me as if you do not have a sufficiently powerful Flash-Gun, and do not know how to set the Camera to the correct White Balance or work out correct exposure settings.

I did look at the Website and most of the stuff shown was good, but he did say that " the result turn unsatisfactorily, not so well catched". Naturally he is not going to put the rubbish on the site, and he does not include any Galleries of actual Weddings, so we can't assess the general standard of the work. The comparison to US Pros might not be all that good a recommendation, if theirs is anything like some of the output I have seen from UK Pros. I am not saying they are all bad, but a number of them are not even as good as me, and I just don't trust myself to do Weddings, not even as an unpaid favour. (I recently shot some snaps at a Wedding using my wife's Fuji S5100, and the Mother of the Bride said my pics were better than the Pro's stuff, and she was correct. I don't use that camera much, so its control is not instinctive, and I was nothing like stone cold sober). If he knew enough, he should have been able to work out the answers for himself. He is supposed to be, or is employing PROs, and is charging money for his / their services, so any degree of incompetance is inexcusable. Roy G > >> <baliroyalwedd...@gmail.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 65 lines] > > Roy G My reading of the OP is radically different than yours -- granted there's a bit of a language barrier here. I read the post as the OP is a sort of caterer, if you will, who arranges wedding packages: food, locations, licensing, photography, etc. and that the OP is dissatsified with some picture some of his/her vendors are providing to the clients. Therefore the OP is asking for assistance is specifying an equipment list for photographers -- with the assumption that good equipment equals good photographer. Okay, than might more-or-less hold true, but it's sort of like saying a good stove means that the person knows how to cook. If you are shooting as good as on the website, you should go pro. Those shots are hard to pull off in wedding photography where you are dealing with people, weather, time, etc. etc. >> >> <baliroyalwedd...@gmail.com> wrote in message >> [quoted text clipped - 89 lines] > Those shots are hard to pull off in wedding photography where you are > dealing with people, weather, time, etc. etc. I suspect you may be right that he is a Venue Manager, or similar. He needs to start checking that any Photographers he employs, are capable Professionals. Too many of this type of Agency will employ just any-one, who comes cheap but seems to have the right equipment.

The photos there are all very good. Shooting people at a distance, in dark conditions, if very tricky. I'd say the problem that you are encountering is one of the hardest things to do correctly. It is a test of any photographer's skills. I am not sure an "camera spec" is the correct way to go. You would not judge the quality of someone's cooking based on what kitchen equipment they own. I think you might do better asking to review the photographer's portfolio, with particular attention to low light work. You might also look at past weddings and see who does a good job on that kind of work, and assign them the more difficult projects. It appears that you often use the same locations for events. Another option would be for YOU to install a professional lighting system at the site, so that you can do it in a very discreet nature. Then let the photographers use your lighting -- once they are familar with it. That would allow you to pre-position lights in all of the right spots. I hope this helped. > It appears that you often use the same locations for events.
