8 Things You Need to Do
June 8th, 2010Weddings are one of the most deserving and difficult occasions to photograph. Lighting, distance from the subjects and lots of ugg boots are all challenges with wedding photography. So, here are 8 wedding photography tips you can use to help make sure that your wedding pictures are just what you (and the bride and groom) want.
1) Bring Lots of Batteries
This is especially important for digital camera users since digital uses more power than film. And if you’re like most guests with uggs, you’ll be using your LCD display to show your photos which will zap even more power from your camera. So pack lots of extra batteries.
2) Bring Extra Memory Cards and Increase the Resolution
You never know which pictures will end up being the ones you want to frame or make prints of for the photo album, so be sure that your cheap ugg boots is set to medium or better yet, high resolution. Extra memory cards will ensure you don’t run out of space.
3) Look for the Unexpected Moments
Along with all the traditional moments that you don’t want to miss: the bride (or groom) getting ready, the exchange of vows, the first kiss, the cake cutting ceremony and so on, there are bound to be many unexpected “Kodak moments.” Watch the children as they will provide many sweet and comical photo ops at a wedding! And don’t forget to take plenty of cheap uggs of the parents of the bride and groom. There will be much emotion on this joyous day to capture with your camera.
4) Increase the ISO
If you have a film camera, use a higher speed film, such as 400, but if you have a digital camera like most will, increase the uggs discount, that is its sensitivity to light. Try increasing to 200 or 400. Use digital noise removing software if needed. The higher ISO can brighten otherwise underexposed photos better than a compact’s built-in flash.
5) Photo Edit Out the Red Eye
Most wedding pictures are taken from too far a distance for the camera’s red eye reduction to work, but photo editing software such as Photoshop and even the free, Picasa can take the red out.
6) Save the Flash for the Most Important Pictures
Since it can take flash a while to recharge, plan ahead. Unless you see a photo opportunity you can’t miss, save the flash for uggs for cheap you want most like the bride and groom cutting the cake or kissing after their vows.
7) Make Use of Optical Zoom or Your Feet
For those far away shots, use optical not digital zoom if you can. If your camera doesn’t have an optical zoom, it’s best to move physically close for the best shot.
Don’t Let Shutter Lag Ruin your Pictures
While this isn’t a problem with film, if you are shooting with a digital camera, be prepared to compensate for the shutter lag. Some cameras shoot slower (or faster) than others, so get familiar with your wedding dresses before the wedding.
When taking action photos like dancing at the cheap wedding dresses, do the same thing you would at a sporting events. Try to guess what’s going to happen next and point the camera in that direction and press the shutter half way down. Be ready to take lots of pictures where there’s people in motion, so that you end up with wedding dress. And on such an important occasion, it’s important to take several still shots as well.
