I shot my first digital wedding last weekend using a Digital Rebel and my original lenses

from my film camera. Now that I have all the pictures done, I want to present them to the

client via the internet and allow them to choose the prints and sizes they want from there.

I have looked into Shutterfly's pro accounts and they seem nice. But I wanted to see what

you guys think about similar services before I go and drop $200 on the Shutterfly service.

Anyone have suggestions on another service that has great quality, quick service?

I usually shoot with available outside light, sometimes with a

diffuser or reflector or both. For shots like this I sometimes use

400 film since you can't seem to find 100 film anymore. I wonder

why that is. ???

I just might give it another try. I have another roll of Portra that I

haven't used for fear that the results would be indesireable. I'll

shoot it and see what a different lab can do with it.

Yes, I'm using film. I usually go with Kodak 800 because I often

times like to produce a slightly over-exposed look in pictures. I

do, however shoot with 400 speed film at times, but fast speeds

have become my preference.

As far as Portra is concerned, I did not at all like the way it

rendered colors. I felt there was an strange blue-green cast on

the film.

I will look into the other film you suggested.

I have been shooting quite a few weddings recently, and I am

encountering a slight problem in certain instances. When

shooting the bride and groom next to each other, I often times

have to decide between over-exposing her dress or

under-exposing his tux because of the GIANT difference in the

color: black vs. white.

Although average metering helps, Is there any way particular

work-around for this problem?

Thanks in advance!
