Please send something, good ideas are sometimes hard to come by and I hate reinventing the wheel. I like rfnikon’s shooting ideas too. I’d like to see some of his shots.

To Stane and rfnikon - I decided to try Stane’s idea of Paper Source this morning ordering some of the white stock. Could I ask other than 4x6, are there other practical settings you use?
Thank you,
Digger

I've had one since April and I'm still learning new things about it every day. Latest 3.0 upgrade brings more to learn. I want to get more of the mirrorless lenses to see what it can do. It is heavy compared to my D500. Some of my sports images are magic. I'm still practicing my wildlife shots like the attached northern Minnesota loon at takeoff into the sunrise.

Hello Muddy - Sorry to hear of your GPS problem. I checked several shots in my catalog from my Z9 and everything appeared spot on for me. I am running the latest firmware update - 2.1 I think. Have you updated? If so, was something corrupted in the update process?

So bkyser, I had to take some time and get back to you. Lots of things to fess up to. 1 - hadn't been to a wedding in a long time, this was the first of all the cousins in that age group. 2 - for me, times have changed. It seems in the digital age quantity of pictures is way more important and no one gets the old traditional media anymore. 3 - the photographer does have a legit business website and the wedding photos are all nicely displayed in a gallery for purchase. 4 - Can't argue with the results because they were all close in focus and properly lit. AND YES, I have to admit it - the wedding was for them and the couple as I saw them this past weekend were quite happy. Satisfied customers are what build a business and so they have recommended her to some of their friends.
Lastly for any other photographers that followed my rant - times have changed and I have to admit it. I'm now living in fear of the next nephew getting married in November - out on the left coast! For those who chimed in, thank you.

That's a good way to word it, very clear when talking to the couple. I do agree, try to be invisible, but if you HAVE to get in there to get the shot, get there, do it, and get out.

It was youth oriented. I'm sorry I didn't catch the age(s). The place was busy and parking was at a premium!

E. L. - That's me last Saturday in your last picture (guy on bike). Where did you find me?
Thanks for reading my rant however so as not to identify the photographers, I did not upload the most offending picture and it is a doozie. Point taken from Stardust earlier, I am totally chastised for mentioning the pregnant thing - my REALLY bad. I have to say you were right about everyone being really wrapped up in the bride and groom.

Hi Weddingguy - thank you for commenting. This has been a learning experience. There maybe won't be too many more family weddings to go to for me so this was one time for me to get something no one else had. Someone in another wedding thread made the point that truly experienced and refined professionals make all the difference. Being prepared, knowing lighting and posing, people skills etc. I wish I had read more of the threads before going to this wedding. If nothing else, my attitude would be way different !!

Your point #2 is well taken - you have a duty to the couple. If that is what they ordered, so be it. This was sort of a new church with fewer rules. The times are changing.
Thank you for commenting.
