Last week in our Wedding One module at CDIA we shot a mock wedding, and it was an excellent, albeit chaotic experience. 9 photographers, two fashion models as our bride and groom, and our teacher, the amazing Jennifer Hudson, were packed into a studio loft apartment above the school, where we shot like crazy. We each played second (9th?) shooter most of the time, and first shooter for a very scary 3 minutes per model and 3 minutes as a couple. Giving posing directions in such a short time was daunting, especially with everyone watching, critiquing, and shooting rapid fire. I'm always surprised by the quality of photographs you can make when you pay attention to the quality of available light. This shot was about a stop and a half purposely over-exposed to get that almost blown-out, soft window light. I wouldn't have shot it like that if I had just been nulling the meter like usual and let the camera do the thinking, and it would have been a much less interesting shot. Shot at 1/50th, F3.2, ISO 250, 75mm with my 5D.
