Weddings - The First Dance Advice Please
I have downloaded the wedding custom preset from this website, the ceremony looks great!
I am white balancing before each section - I am not using a light on the camera and I am about to shoot on the dark dance floor. Does anyone have advice re shutter speeds/gain/exposure etc to capture the mood, and keep the darkness true on the footage of the first dance when using the custom preset. Should I continue to use the TV mode, or the Spotlight or Low light modes? My second family wedding is forthcoming (in the UK) so should be able to experiment - but would like to hear of your preferences out there. |
I tend to work with around 6-9db of gain in at this point in the proceedings. Assuming we're talking about typical night time/night club lighting then it seems to work ok in terms of representing the mood truthfully ?
I don't like working with the iris wide open, certainly no more than around f2.8 and ideally narrower when possible? It's a tricky situation, you can always ask for the lights to be left up a little for the first dance or two, without killing the atmosphere for the party goers. |
Allen, just out of curiosity why dont you like to open the iris all the way?

I found this little clip via another forum and thought some of the wedding guys would appreciate the sentiment... http://www.videobycarol.com/home_pag...otography.html |
Allen, that was very funny.
