Getting ready for a wedding......(photos inside)

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Shot another wedding yesterday......I keep saying I'd never do it again as I get so freaking nervous and worked up lol!

As always, I went to the brides house early, and messed about with (probably) my favourite lens, the Sigma 85mm 1.4.

Got narrow DoF!?

(I was also asked to take a few photos of their cat....as you do )

Still going through the actual wedding shots, and haven't even touched the reception photos yet.

This is probably my favourite from the wedding itself (the couples son):

Nice pics, you say you got nervous? Our photographer knelt down to take a pic as we left the church and split his trousers in half lol.

 

[Sym0n]

Awesome shots Dan, love how sharp your glass is (ok I don't I'm insanely jealous...).

 

[Revels]

Brilliant

 

[Zmaster2k]

lovely DOF on that! great lens!

understand the nerves too! Got a wedding to do in a few weeks myself.....always question yourself.....everything will be fine

 

[Hixle]

Fantastic work Dan.

 

[bully]

Great pics as ever Dan.

 

[Tigger]

EPIC work as always - knew it before opening the thread TBH :hail:

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Thanks Tigger, just going through the rest. Delivering them on Friday, hope they like them.

Getting paid too! Yes, for the first time ever, I charged someone for my photos!

Guess that finally makes you a pro? :rasp:

 

[Brazo]

Those pics really have that 'pop' 3d effect you often associate with ultra sharp leica/zeiss glass!

That's the Sigma 85mm 1.4 for ya

Especially combined with full frame goodness. Cracking photos, I bet they'll be thrilled with them.

You dirty dog!

Excellent photos.

 

[DeeKay86]

I've said it so many times, and I'll say it again;

Dan = Photography God! F*cking EPIC!!!!!! I love your work.

If I ever decide to bite the bullet and get married, I wouldnt want anybody apart from you taking the pics!

 

[Leeshez]

Truly amazing pictures again.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Thanks guys, means a lot

I went to see another couple at the weekend, I'm doing their wedding in a few weeks. REALLY nice venue, should be a very extravagant wedding indeed.

This will be the wedding that decides if I want to carry on doing it. There is so much pressure it's unreal.

I'll be hiring another lens as I want to have the best photos I can possibly do too!

 

[Tigger]

What other lenses do YOU need Dan? lol

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Fast lenses!

24mm f1.4.

Really think it will help for those super narrow wide angle shots.

 

[Tigger]

What's the widest lens you can use on the D3, compared to the lenses on a crop body?

I'd imagine a fisheye on a full frame is out of the question lol

24 1.4 is my ultimate want lens as a club photographer. Been thinking about chopping in my 24 - 70 for one for ages... :S

Dont Nikon have a FF fisheye? Theres no reason you cant as long as they project a big enough image circle. Canon are certainly ahead on the fisheye front, the 8 - 15 is EPIC.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

I think they do, but I wouldn't touch one personally. Certainly not at a wedding!

Still torn between the 24mm 1.4 and new 35mm 1.4.

Decision!!!

Awsome Photos Dan!

I would personally if I had the choice go for the 24mm f1.4 - I currently have the 35mm f1.8 DX and find 35mm useful but also restricive at the same time. I think you could cover alot more with the 24mm

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

I think that's what I'll end up going for. I'll make the arrangement for hiring one when I get back to the UK. I hope I don't really like it, or I'll end up buying one lol!

 

[Tigger]

I need a bloody loan lol and a hell of a lot more skills to keep up with the gear too

EDIT
Samp if you're selling your 24-70 - ahh-em lol

 

[DB.]

Knowing the standard and style of your photo's, I have to say I can see these being better than the majority in terms of wedding photo's!

Shame mines for a real camera system and it'll work well for you.

 

[Tigger]

Ahhhh so you upgraded to one off the stand in....Boots or Superdrug?
