Hi all,
I am a happy owner of an EOS-3, Speedlite 550EZ and a L-lenses set and experienced with wedding photography. With my former EOS-100 camera model that is. I now have another photo session upcoming (my brother's, so better be good to keep the family together) and wonder whether anyone has experience with applying EOS-3 for wedding pictures. I am looking for exposure tips and especially fill flash technique with above listed equipment. I studied PhotoNotes.org articles, but cannot find anything regarding correctly exposing and compensating contrasts like for the B/W bride and groom dress. Any tips or links I ought to refer to?
Practice, practice, practice. I can't believe you're going to shoot wedding photos (aka once in a lifetime) without at least a practice run. It's very very difficult to shoot formal portraits of bridge and grooms and get the details in the white dress and black tuxedo to come out properly.
Note the 550EZ is not fully compatible with the E-TTL flash on the EOS-3, you need the 550EX. But you'd be better off with studio strobes for formals.
For the PJ (photojournalistic look), just load in a bucket of Tri-x and shoot away. But you might want a pro to handle the formal shots.
