Yes.. my first shoot for wedding event..alongside with my friend who already got experinces.. any good website to refer for extra knowledge?

Rule #1 - don't block the main photographer
Rule #2 - stay invisible (call if you want everyone to look to you)
Rule #3 - cover what the main photographer is not covering
Rule #4 - anticipate
Rule #5 - adapt

Here are just some that I look at to get inspirations

In wedding, moment > composition.

Best if you can have both.

Remember that a moment with action and emotion even with slight motion blur or a little off focus would still hold better value than a sharp image of nothing to appreciate.

Very good rules..thank you sifu

Btw, we might divide into 2 parts:
1. Ambient and wide potrait
2. Tight potrait and details/macro parts



Awesome!! Very inspiring photos!!

canon got 60mm macro meh? i used the canon EF 50mm F2.5 macro before though..

Got leh.. but EFs mount.. 60mm f2.8 macro USM.. or tamron 90 SP better? However, with cropped factor, it will extend the focal length..

depends on what u want to shoot ler... how to compare apple vs orange?

from macro standpoint, i will say go for the 60mm. it has a shorter focal length = shorter working distance, basically you have to get closer to the object but if you are running flashes the light diffusion would be easier to control.

at the same time you can use bigger aperture yet still getting enough DOF at 60mm compared to 90mm, causing less amount of light is needed for the same exposure.

and not to forget the tamron has a really noisy and slow autofocus

The one and only Canon EFS Macro lens.

Oldest is 50mm.

The long the focal length, the better the DOF.

100mm is a good start.

wahahaha yes, but the quality n sharpness is sweet, i can vouch for that

Although 60mm focal length gives you better dof, the shorter working distance gives you lesser dof. Even it out if you need it at a certain magnification.

During CNy any place to take photo?

temple
chinatown
open houses
empty streets
fireworks
time lapse

define better

oh yeah i forgot about this. i got greedy and bought myself a 150mm macro lens, seriously hard to get enough of DOF although the working distance is sweet.

eh, 150mm macro? i should try with food!

should be good? too bad that mine is nikon mount.

Helped my friend took one food image, A Pie Thing
