I photographed the wedding of friends the other day. Full Day – starting with the preparations for the wedding and ending with restaurant congratulations. I planted 12 batteries for the flash, 2 batteries and scored 8 GB flash drive. The result is … well, 40-50% percent I squeezed out of what could be – the conditions were tough, there was very little time.
In this post, in fact, want to share my first experience, I hope that many beginning wedding photographers in handy as a reference on what to do is, but it is not.

It all started with the fact that only 25 of December, I learned from a young couple, 9 January I still trusted to shoot a wedding. Preparation time to spare, thank God, at least got to buy a spare battery for the camera – otherwise, would be sufficient only for half of the wedding.
are ready to seriously – after all the time responsible, but experience shooting weddings, I actually do not.
First of all, I read a series of forums on how to remove the frost. The problem of condensation when taking the “heat-cold-warm” has raised me (read the comments must continue to http://focused.ru/3801 !), but if a consensus with Sergei, we did not come. According to the results taken can say the following:
Sally for 10-15 minutes at degrees-frost does not lead to subsequent fogging the camera when you move into heat. The camera does not have time enough to cool, then to condensation. So I had no problems in the room otschelkal bride, then left for 15 minutes to meet the groom at redemption, and then moved into the warm entrance.
A long finding in the cold (30-40 minutes) before moving into heat (in this case a car), I pre-wrapped the camera in a normal plastic bag and stowed in fotoryukzak, who always carried with him, that is, He also cooled as the camera. This strategy allowed for driving on a wedding are not subjected to strong differences of the camera and as a result – no sweat. But the outbreak once I got out of the bag being in the car – just plastic covered with condensation.
In general, the outfit had no problems. Looking ahead, I say that without an external flash, perhaps, could not be removed and half of the frame – the dark doorways, no less dark apartments, a strong contrast between light sky, white snow and everything else.

The portrait, like a finished picture, made ​​up of many things – the surroundings, the light pattern, the model poses, facial expressions, the ability to make-up … And for all this must follow during a photo shoot, control the process to get good shots.
Today I tell you, but mainly – show – as even a small change in posture can affect the model for the better in the final shot.

Little treatment in LightRoom. It seems to look good, interesting perspective, a soft diffused light, but here’s a little unnatural posture. Also near to us hip girl looks like a massively. We must do something.
“transplanted” model.

Immediately evident as elongated legs … It was beautiful.
Now we can go further and hide even the thigh with herbs.
The impression from this picture more pleasant than the first, disappeared the voltage present before.
In general you this advice: try different positions, looking for the best winning option, do not get hung up! If not 100% sure, then do a few different shots, so as to fully appreciate the final result can only be viewed on a monitor.
