Hello Brian You website works very well. Navigation is quite easy, your work - the pictures are beautifully represented, background, writing etc. is very neat and the main impression is of very high quality. I would prefer a little less heavy site with perhaps a little less letters - maybe even pictures. What customers want to know is, that you make brilliant photographs at an acceptable cost, you keep your time, do not disturb the ceremony etc. unnecessarily, which packages to buy and how to get in contact. In addition, I just loved the photograph of the two small girls running across the floor -their shadows in front of them - laughing and smiling. It's just brilliant. All the best

I used a flash bracket, Vivitar 285HV, and a second 285 on a self deployable stand with radio slave for a second light. My wife just used a hotshoe flash, and next time she'll have a bracket for it as well. The ZX-M was used as a quieter camera during the ceremony. I once used a K1000 during a church concert and had heads turning when the mirror slap went off. The funny thing is the ZX-M is not much quieter but it's a noise which people are more familiar with. Its rewind sound is really loud though... I found the split image in the ZX-M viewfinder to be deceptive when photographing faces. It looks sharp, even when the image is not in focus, unless you happen to notice the split image doesn't line up. I had to be sure to concentrate on the micro-prism ring instead. On the K1000s I had a center micro-prism without a split prism, which seemed to be fast and intuitive when under pressure. The primary lens was an SMC-A 35-105 f3.5, which seemed to be a great range and a fairly fast fixed aperature. Wider than 35 you can distort humans a bit much, and the flashes only go that wide anyhow. This is a used lens of 'bargain' grade from KEH which changed focus when I zoomed. I'll replace it with an 'excellent' grade one next time. The other lenses were an SMC-A 50mm f1.7 on processional and a generic brand 135 f2.8 for the ceremony. Fuji Superia and HQ, various speeds, developed on a Fuji Frontier, with probably too much image manipulation. I don't really like their scans, but they'll have to do for now. What I'm mostly interested in is opinions about how well the website works, how well it is designed, how well I present the images and information, and various suggestions. The images themselves I will improve on next time. Thanks! Brian Dunn [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bdphotographic.com
