Would someone mind posting some or adding a link for me. As much info about the shot

would be appreciated. THanks

I have exactly one posted. Not sure how that will help you, though:

Captured with the 17-55mm/f2.8 zoom.

Thanks, just looking to see how it may handle the white dress and black suit as well as how it may handle highlights outside such as the dress.

I second shot with a friend so I played around with the D300 and D200 in JPEG and switching WB (I usually shoot with a 5D and a 1D3).

BTW, I wanted to see if I could should an outdoor wedding with the D300 and the 18-200 alone.

BTW, I used CS3 only to make the borders.

Fantastic shots. Thank you!

[jim_orr]

Fantastic shots. Thank you!What lens were you using with these shots if you remember.

Regarding my photos, I used the 18-200 VR.

Good idea to ask for sample shots. These prove nicely that the photographer is the major factor :-P This is especially true for keeping highlight detail. Nothing beats exact exposure and experience :-P

Omega,

How did you get the red dresses and the red Mustang to "pop" like that?

Were you using the D300 or D200 with 18-200mm?

Love the colors!!!

 

Regards.

<i>Nothing beats exact exposure and experience</i>

<p>

Often there <i>is</i> no correct exposure or white balance since light falling on different people in a wide angle shot (imagine: ceremony in a dark church lit by beams of sunlight, candle light, and colored reflections) can vary by many stops and hundreds of mired. This can be an interesting post-processing challenge. At higher ISO settings the dynamic range (and tolerance for error and post-processing adjustment) is reduced. Outdoor work is in this sense easier, even though there can be direct sunlight, the ISO can be lower, leading to lower noise in the shadows brought up in post-processing.

<p>

I usually increase the contrast so that I get truly black black suits, but I do try at all costs to maintain detail and some tonal variation in the bride's dress. Usually the face and the bride's dress need separate adjustments to look their best. All too often fill-flash is used on the faces but the dress is allowed to blow out. O-oh.

<p>

It would be nice to see a Fuji full-frame sensor in the near future. I would also like a DSLR which is able to take a sequence of bracketed exposures at high speed (e.g. 2-3 exposures within 1/100s), without the mirror coming down in between.

Here is a high ISO (3200) taken at a recent wedding - ISO 3200, f/3.2, 1/25th of a second - Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8 fisheye
