This photo was taken at a wedding that was held at a golf club in Guelph OntarioTime
It was around 4:00 in the afternoonLighting
Lighting is just natural ambient light. The interesting thing is the rim lighting formed by the dark void created by the grooms men standing, huddled below him.Equipment
I used my Nikon D750 hand held with a sigma 35mm lensInspiration
This is my take on a photo that totaly inspired me that I saw on line.Editing
Oh yes I added mauve to the sky to complement the outfits as well as some sharpening and contrast.In my camera bag
My Nikon D750 a 35-1.4 a 70-200-2.8 and a 85-1.4 a couple of radio slaved speed lights, and a 500 w/s battery powered portable.Feedback
Its always exciting to try new things at whatever is your choice of venue. I do weddings and I am always on the lookout for ideas to try. If they are challenging or technical I will try them out on my own, or with friends first. These guys just loved it, I had to lay on the ground and shoot up, it took about 3 takes trying to get him in the frame as well as the fear of him falling right on my face. The focus was a bit soft but they were ecstatic, so I was happy.
