bro,aku shoot event wedding semua pakai kitlens,50mm dgn flash...kastemer tak ngamok pun...most important is how you utilize your gears...having all the best gears wont produce the most epicwin image if the person behinds the camera doesnt know how to use it to its advantage...

i agreed wit u

... but your are lucky that u haven't been into that situation.. i did

.. i was helping covering an event.. gomen dinner at hotel in png for my friends..... i was approach by one of the organiser.... asking me why i'm using kit lens..this is a paid job.. actually i just arrived and 1855mm is oledy attached to my dslr as i planned to get more wide angle shot before attaching 24105mm...i explained to him that i'm not the main photographer... i'm just the 3rd shooter and the 1st and 2nd photog are at the VVIP area (MINISTER+KETUA2 PENGARAH)... AND they are using much more better lenses (CZ & L lens).
He said... " to cover an event like this..you need better lens and other more professional gear...not just some kit lens.." he also said that they have paid a quite high price to photographer to cover the whole event........
i told him that my gear are more than enough as my position tonight is more to " candid" rather than " bergambar bersama menteri".......
i got fed up with his attitude and attached my 24105mm + Battery grip+f58+softbox and asked him..it this " look " professional enough? he then smiles and said.." WELL ..THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH... AT LEAST OTHERS KNOW THAT WE HIRE A PRO RATHER THAN JUST SOME PHOTOG".....then he walk away.........
Really spoiled my mood...
well one thing that learn from this incident is... not all will judge u by looking at the results...they just simply say NO.....
and fact is " i'm not a pro

"
Wedding event - only pengantin can complain cause they are the one who paid u
BIG event like Fussy Gomen Dinner 500-700 pax - usually will be organize by comittee members..maybe gred 27-40... but they will be monitor by Ketua Unit..and ketua Unit will be reporting to TP1 n TP2..and so on to the PEGARAH... If let say pengarah received complain..than die la...all mesti kene "kan"...So every body will try not to kene... so just imagine how many person that we have to be " JAGA HATI".....
