The Huppa was an interesting item, but it posed another obstacle for
getting good shots, so I tried to find the best angle. I move up
to a stage behind the bride and groom which provided a nice angle.
The ceremony is a challenge because you have to negotiate a good angle
while not trying to create too much of a distraction. So I try to
move slow and easy. The stage below me seemed a bit unstable, so I
had to step easy and carefully, one eye through my view-finder the other
looking down at my feet.
So I maneuver around trying to time myself with
the events of the reading of the vows, the breaking of the glass and the
mixing of sand (that one I had never heard of before). So I burned
through about three rolls of film, reloading once. I am quite
faster now at reloading 120mm film. The bride and groom exit and
the reception begins.
Now I have a little breathing room, so I switch back to the digital back
and try to take volumes of digital photos and save the remaining
negative film. I am still experiencing problems with the back
disconnecting from the laptop and requiring me to reset it. I am
not sure if it is the laptop or the back, but I am considering buying a
new imac G4 to test it. My next purchase will be either a new Leaf
Aptus 65 or the Mamiya ZD camera. Although the pictures look great
with the Leaf Valeo, it is not a portable solution, even though I have
tried. If only it did not disconnect so often, it might have been
manageable. At the very end of the event, I went through my last
roll of film and my lap-top battery was done. So that all worked
out well, I used about five rolls of 120 film, took about 250 digital
photos.
Now I have reviewed and post-processed some of the photos and they look
great. The negatives should arrive tomorrow with the scanned
digital files.
All-in-all, the game plan worked well. For this session, I would
have liked more time with the Bride alone as well as the Bride and
Groom.
You will be able to see selected photos from
