P&P-Part 2; Exercise 6; An organised event


Exercise; An organised event

For this exercise, I had to research look for and prepare in advance, an organised event where there will be plenty of people, so I can photograph confidently and freely, so, for this exercise I choose to photograph a wedding, I had to liaise with the bride and the other photographer, go to the rehearsal and discuss the plan for the day as I was the ‘add on’ photographer, I would mainly stay out of the way of the ‘major’ photos and photograph the candid shots.

For these photos, it was a real challenge as it was the first time I had photographed a wedding and trying to capture moments was quite difficult, although the kids actually made it a lot easier!, they always say “never work with kids or animals”, but in this case they helped me get the shots I wanted to achieve. I used as flash for all of the inside shots and no flash for the outside ones.

1/60 seconds at f/4.5

I like this natural image; it’s a great start to the day as well as this series of images.


1/60 seconds at f/4.0

This is one of my favourites; it’s such a natural image of getting the bride ready, I photographed in black and white as I felt the image required some softness of the event.



1/60 seconds at f/4.0

This is a really fun image of the children being fascinated with a brass dog statue; I feel it gives a great feel to the day.



  1/250 seconds at f/10.0

I couldn’t do this exercise without including the brides and groom; I included this image as it’s a natural shot of them listening to a family member.


  1/400 seconds at f/10.0

I included this image as again it’s very natural and I wanted to get images of the people not looking at me.



  1/320 seconds at f/10.0

This girl was hard to shoot as she kept looking at me, however, for a split second she looked away, which is when I managed to get the shot I wanted.



  1/60 seconds at f/4.0

I couldn’t get an image where the little girl wasn’t looking at me for this one, however, it’s rare that you get a photo where the adults aren’t looking at you, as they are normal always more aware of a camera, so I’m pleased I managed to achieve this shot.



  1/400 seconds at f/10.0

This is a great shot, I love the way that the brother and sister are communicating.



  1/400 seconds at f/10.0

This is my favourite shot of this series of photographs, I timed it perfectly and it defiantly captured the moment.


  1/60 seconds at f/5.0

I like the essence of this photograph, but I am unhappy with my technique, the light is to bright and I didn’t check my settings before shooting it, which I’m really annoyed by, I wish I had as it would have been technically perfect otherwise, I included it for the fun and cute factor, rather than the technical.


  1/320 seconds at f/10.0

This is a cute picture of a moment between grandmother and grandson, again the light was bright and I should have bought put it up a notch or two.



  1/320 seconds at f/10.0

This is a lovely image, they aren’t quite kissing and he is almost uninterested as she goes in for the kiss, but I still think it works well.



  1/320 seconds at f/10.0

She’s playing peek-a-boo with me, which was great and luckily for me, she stayed in this position for quite a while!.


 

  1/15 seconds at f/2.0

In this image I changed lenses, fortunately the other photographer was a lovely chap and he lent me his 35mm lens (after using it I have since purchased one) this was a real eye opener for me as I had only used my zoom lens for this type of photography and had no idea the images I could achieve with a really great prime lens.

All in all I loved this assignment and it gave me the confidence I needed to continue with the course.
