I'm not saying you were wrong, I'm just saying what worked for me in my circumstance. It was a rather unusual wedding insofar as the ceremony took place at the reception hall, and the reception immediately followed the ceremony, so there was no "church wedding then go take pix in the park for a couple of hours before the reception" thing happening. All the shots were in the reception venue (not in the hall, but in the same venue) and although there were different locations, it was a matter of picking up the tripod/camera and moving it to another room. It all worked for me, but I recognize that different things work for different photographers in different circumstances. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
