Dear PDML:ers A close friend asked me the other day if I would be his wedding photographer. I said I would be honored but am beginning to think I might have taken on more than I can handle <g> I've been secondary photographer at a couple of weddings, but never taken the actual wedding pictures.
I need your advice dear friends. 1. What should I think of when the big day comes? 2. What film do you recommend? I will concentrate on portraits of bride and groom, some pictures from the ceremony and a lot of digital from the party. 3. I've got the opportunity to rent a Hasselblad 500C with Planar 80 and Sonnar 150 for the weekend for ~US$30. I've never used a MF-camera and only once touched the Hassie. Do you think I could "learn" the Hassie in a day and use it with any success the big day or should I concentrate on what I really know? And what I really know is my MZ-S with 28-105/3,2-4,5, A-50/1,7, Takumar 135/2,5, Zenitar 16/2.8 and, of course, my beloved backup Program-A. The reason they asked me in the first place is probably money. Both the bride and groom are students and can't afford a professional photographer (can easily be US$500 here in Sweden) I've got about US$150 to spend and that includes developing. Any advice appreciated. Thanks! Petter Jarbo - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
