Is it possible your just missing your focus? At 1.2 there isn't that much room for error. If your on 3200 film, and you can manage a 1/2000 shutter, why not lower the shutter and stop down your aperture giving you some more depth of field?

 

Thats such a boring practical thing to suggest.

Haha.

 

i know i could, but i have shot 1000's of photos on f1.2 and they are all good...and to be fair the depth of field at that distance is still enough to have the whole car in focus...so it doesnt bother em....

 

I'll bet that the problem here is that your focussing screen is out of whack a little bit.

See if it moves around if you touch it (WITH GLOVES) or the like

Not bad, although nothing new

 

Just got asked by a girl at work to shoot her wedding in a couple months. Want to say yes but also don't want to fuck it up haha

 

Yeah, you better be ready for it. I fucking hate weddings.

 

I feel like I can do it fine. Not amazing compared to photographers standards but I feel like I can make her happy. I just have to figure out what to ask for in terms of payment. She wants me to be there all day, that means a ton of time editing photos, buying prints and everything else

 

do it for fuck all. I did my first wedding for $350.

That means theres way less pressure, and if you fuck it up you don't feel as bad because they got a good deal out of it anyway.
Plus that way even if your photos are amazing, your next wedding you can charge the standard $1500+

you'll learn so much from you're first wedding. you gotta be ready to think fast and adapt to very fast changing situations...

you better know your camera and light in and out because for example, if the weather of the wedding is a beautiful clear sunny day, that usually means harsh ugly direct sunlight and ugly photos. are you ready for that? do you know how to deal with that?

 

do ya?

 

Find shade or put the sun behind them and use fill flash? It depends what shots ur doing. If it's staged shots like family stuff it's easier. I will learn that's for sure

 

Have my first solo wedding in July. I would recommend assisting with one first if you can.
I think wedding photography takes a lot of repetition to know how to get the shots the bride and family will want. The guy I assist for has it down to a science.
I've never met a pro wedding photog who wasn't a pretentious jack ass.
as for the harsh lighting, remote off camera flash is your best friend.

also, my office was ran sacked and my 7d and few lenses got taken. Still waiting on insurance cover it, until then I can only shoot film. will post some ish soon,

 

Hear hear^

An assistant to follow you round with an off camera flash with a large softbox attached is good for creating even soft fill flash. Just pray you get an overcast day and shoot available light without flash. Always looks better in my opinion. I'm developping a bit of a style of using only available light even in my work, and only using flash if I'm forced to work in a very very dark environment.

Oh and most photographers are cunts, that's all just part of the industry, it's so competitive especially these days.

 

a video of japans dopest and perverted photographer at work... how he relates to people is awesome.

 

^That goofs pretty intense with his subjects, touching them and shit.
Anyways some new pics
