Manual on-camera bounce flash
With the response to the article on bounce flash photography at wedding receptions, it might be good to continue the topic. While I prefer TTL flash when I use bounce flash, there are times when I do use my on-camera flash in manual exposure mode when I bounce it. Julie & Kenny's wedding, at the Laurita Winery, NJ, proved to be a bit of a challenge with the reception. The reception area was in the winery which had a beautiful interior ... but it wasn't white. Bounce flash was a touch more difficult than usual here. Read more inside...Bounce flash photography at wedding receptions
Bounce flash photography at wedding receptions
This photograph from a recent wedding got a few comments and questions in the album on Facebook. The questions really hinged around "where did all that light come from?" or whether I had used off-camera flash. The purple and blue light in the back-ground is from the up-lighting from the entertainment / DJ company. The light on the couple entering the reception room ... is all one on-camera bounce flash.

Podcast with Ed Verosky - Wedding photography tips
Over the weekend, Ed Verosky did an interview with me for his latest podcast. The topic is wedding photography tips. It's nearly half-an-hour of me motor-mouthing it on various wedding photography related items. Not only does it sound like I am in a rush, I sound serious too! There is one "typo" that I picked up listening to it now. At one point I mention the "first 30 books" on photography. What I meant to say was, the basics covered in the first 30 pages of any good introductory book on photography. I'm sure there are other Read more inside...Tips on improving your photo-shoot workflow
Wedding photography - improving your shooting workflow
As a companion piece to the previous two articles • Tips & advice for second shooters at weddings , and • Tips on improving your photography technique, I want to offer some advice on shooting workflow. Not post-production workflow, but rather some things to look out for while shooting. These articles with tips are just as relevant for any area of photography. The techniques here are applicable to any field or level of photography. I feel so strongly about the advice here, that I'd go as far to say that the further Read more inside...Exposure metering when using video light for photography
Exposure metering when using video light for photography
In response to the article on how to shoot romantic wedding portraits, using video light, someone asked about exposure metering with the video light. "Much in the same vein as using flash, do you establish the ambient exposure first (to your taste) and then add the video light to expose ‘correctly’ for your subject? How do you meter for this video light and therefore adjust the light power to the right level? By chimping on test shots?" While this would certainly be a correct way of doing it, the practical way of doing it, Read more inside...Photographers – Tips on improving your photography technique
Tips on improving your photography technique
When I posted the article with tips and advice for second-shooters, it generated a lot of conversation in the comments. I want to follow it up with a related article on how to improve your technique as a photographer. It is general advice for any photographer. And it is especially pertinent if you're a second photographer / 2nd shooter. Camera technique can be distilled into a few elements: - composition & framing, including lens choice - timing of the photograph, ie that moment - choice of aperture (for depth of field) - choice Read more inside...Wedding photography: Using high ISO and flash at the reception
Wedding photography: Using high ISO and flash at the reception
Chatting with other photographers at the recent WPS convention in Chapel Hill, NC, I was again struck by how there are so many different ways of approaching lighting. In this case, lighting at the wedding reception. The one photographer I was chatting to, set up multiple speedlights around the reception room, and then controls which are fired, from his on-camera Master speedlight. Very impressive. In recent years, the wedding reception venues where I've shot on the East Coast of the USA, have moved away from being the Read more inside...A wedding in Central Park, New York
