Ross's Wedding


I shot at another wedding this weekend. As a guest, the best I could do was perform as an "Uncle Bob". The venue photographer put us into the bar while she did the group shots. I missed out on those.

No one moved around to photograph the wedding ceremony. I politely remained in my seat and did the best I could from that viewpoint. It was a late Arizona afternoon with harsh light.

Overly warm colors ruled the dining area. My white balance was all over the place. It was my first attempt with the Canon 580 EX. Challenging.

After processing the images, I was greatly disappointed in the work. Too many shots seem the same as other events. (I guess I have my own style...boring.) Still, there is plenty of room to grow. I can only hope things go better when I assist at the wedding in New Jersey next week.

Wedding Shoot


I hope to shoot more weddings when I retire. Slowly, I am beginning to recognize how hard it is to work alone.

I photographed a beautiful couple yesterday. They had far more energy than I.

Two more shoots are coming up in the near future. Certainly, I need more practice and more stamina. Retiring from the day job is bound to help that somewhat.
