busiest week in recent memory; my body hates me. (4th of July, dance short, wedding work)

This week has been unreal.

The night before Independence Day was spent down the street at this local carnival they put on every year. It's walking distance from my house, which is very cool because parking would be a bitch. My friend Mary had been teaching in Thailand, so I haven't seen her in years but she was there. Molly, Ali, and Teresa came ( Read more... )

Oh it was wonderful! And don't worry - we actually filled the cups with water instead of beer (high risk of lake water splashing up into them, lol) and every time someone sank a shot, we just pulled from our own personal cans.

I need to fix it. My old layout was so outdated, not to mention the fact that it looked like shit on my new laptop, so I just threw up a background for now and screwed up the code. I'll darken it this afternoon.

Thank you!

I haven't even seen it yet as a finished piece. I'm dying. I know it's done because his friend Aaron commented on Facebook that he's seen it and it's perfect. I will absolutely post it. Indoor natural lighting is a bitch, especially at weddings because everything tends to be dark and ~romantic~. Sometimes you get lucky - one I just shot was in a room that was extremely well lit, lots of windows, but another I shot was dark AND had a red wood ceiling so whenever I'd bounce my flash, the image would come out red. It was very difficult. Couple of things I can tell you off the bat - consider renting a 70-200mm f2.8 if you don't have one already. What lenses do you have? Don't be afraid to open your shutter - I use 1/80 most of the time but the woman I shoot for uses 1/60 and cranks her ISO. To me, cranking up ISO is always the very last thing I do because I fucking hate grain, but she doesn't care as much and frequently shoots 3200 or higher. What camera body do you have?
