Wedding 21st May 2007



4th April 082 Silver's for March '08 SWPP awards first one taken of Clare & David at The Imperial Hotel, BlackpoolFirst time out with the Canon 5D I did have the 24-105 F4L but found I had to go to 3200asa too often so I now have the 24-70 F2.8L version.

Strangley enough I did some basic tests between the Canon 5d v's Fuji S2 and for outdoors I couldnt see much difference,however indoors without flash is a different matter altogether. The above image also receives a Silver from Storrs Hall this time Fay & Mason.

Had I moved a table directly out of the way(weighing about 1 ton) which would have allowed me to get a perfect circle in the composition, then I suspect it would have received Gold but theres always a next time. I did also submit the wrong one with some photoshop errors in which didnt help my cause.
Then one of my favourite images I took this year gets 'unclassfied'below???? I have to scratch my head sometimes as to what the judges are smoking.
