Re: Measuring colour temperature
Thanks very much for the response everyone.
Bruce, I don't know if I'm misthinking something, but I mainly have in mind the LED lights that let you choose a colour. If it's possible to know, for...

Measuring colour temperature
Question: is there any straightforward way to measure the colour temperature of a light? Do light meters help with this, for instance?

Re: Ceremony-Only Packages?
If you have a reliable second shooter or two, you could ask them to do the job, so that you're still available for longer weddings.

Re: Anyone tempted to get a 1DC?
Actually, about the pricing -- I can see used ones on Amazon for US$9,000. I've seen apparently legitimate used ones sell for AU$7,000 on eBay. Andrew Reid mentions that Dan Chung and James Miller...

Anyone tempted to get a 1DC?
Not only are they now selling for low prices (used for US$3500-$5000), but the cost of CF cards has dropped a lot over the last year. A Sandisk 128gb CF now costs something like $300, whereas a year...

Re: Which Microphone for Wedding shoot
Hey Mark, you're spoiled for kit.
Ok, idea one. Go to ceremony rehearsal, check what the sound sources are and where/if you can plug in anywhere, and do as thorough an audio setup as you can. Eg:...

Re: Which Microphone for Wedding shoot
Hey Mark, do a sound test to be sure, but I'm pretty sure NTG3 wins. The price tag should tell you that if nothing else.
Issue is less which microphone than distance from sound source. If you're...

Re: Random stuff I've incorporated lately
Quick thought re tilt: it's easy to create the effect in post. I don't know why I didn't think of it before. (Or rather, I do know -- it's simply because I'm an idiot).

That's a good tip! I misread it the first time I looked at it. But you're right -- I often get the bride reading the groom's letter and vice versa, but seldom get them reading their own letters. I...

Hey Oren, in all honesty it would probably be a leave at home lens for you. I've got a 90 f/2.8 and it simply adds to the bags without replacing anything. Speaking in Canon terms, for general purpose...

Some random changes I've made to my formula over the past month or two.
1. Belt for female celebrants. It works! If she doesn't have pockets, and doesn't have a belt you can clip a transmitter...

Well, generally at least three cameras. Usually four or five.
Two main cameras are 45 degrees to couple, if that makes sense. They sort of move around within that area anyway, and can get...

Re: 1/4 20 to belt buckle adapter?
Hi Peter, one problem with a belt buckle adapter, DIY or otherwise, is that the clip is still going to dig into his skin if he's just wearing "ceremonial pyjamas pants" with no belt.
So yours is a...

1/4 20 to belt buckle adapter?
So, I was filming an Indian wedding yesterday, and went light on gear -- instead of radio mics, I just took a bunch of Roland R-05s.
Now, when I was trying to mic the groom before he climbed on...

Re: These knee pads work
Taking footage of kids is another one. Whenever possible, I try to get down to their height rather than look at them from an adult's point of view.
