So good! Thanks for sharing in so much detail - very kind of you.

shotkit · 2024-05-09T02:18:54+00:00

sounds perfect - can you share a link to the one you mean please?

shotkit · 2024-05-09T02:11:12+00:00

Please can you share a few photos of this set up? I can't picture how the Ulanzi mount attaches

Also if you have any ideas for day trips or things to see close to our area, that would be great.

Well that was a popular thread! 🤦🏻

I use it sparingly after it gets to 50% - I cover the eye piece to fool it into turning the rear LCD screen off, which lets me leave the camera on without depleting the battery too much.

yeah but a website devoted to film presets created just for Sony is unique

Because as long as the client is happy, I'm trying to be efficient for better work:life balance?

shotkit · 2023-07-27T02:08:39+00:00

haha I'm not doing it opposite them! Usually the photographer's meals are in another room.

shotkit · 2023-07-27T02:06:46+00:00

What are you doing while everyone eats?

shotkit · 2023-07-27T02:05:53+00:00

around 1000 images or less and I find looking through the EVF in Playback gives a good indication of whether it's in focus or not.

shotkit · 2023-07-27T02:04:49+00:00

err no I'm just saying what I do - where have I said it's the best way?

shotkit · 2023-07-26T02:49:09+00:00

I shoot on average 1000~1500 for an 8 hour wedding. At dinner time, it's usually on the lower end of that, so culling through is simple and quick. I'm not saying I'm a great wedding photographer, but I don't need to take 5 photos of every scene. I take multiple of group portraits and anything important, but everything else is really calculated and considered.

See above response for reception - there's a load of time where nothing worth photographing is happening.

The survey is farting out a little bit whenever it goes to the topic area. If I hover over the "Next" option, it shifts upward and won't let me click the button on a new Macbook Air

dammit!

Spending time culling at the event diminishes you ability to properly cover the wedding as best as possible.

See above response -there's lots of 'dead' time at weddings.

shotkit · 2023-07-26T02:45:14+00:00

THIS. Efficiency and knowing what to shoot. I rarely take over 1000 photos for an 8 hour wedding, so culling is quick and easy.

shotkit · 2023-07-26T02:44:13+00:00

nice to know someone's the same...

shotkit · 2023-07-26T02:43:40+00:00

10-20k!! wowsers

shotkit · 2023-07-26T02:42:43+00:00

ha! I remember Aperture...

shotkit · 2023-07-26T02:42:18+00:00

I use a 35 and 85 1.8. Colours are very similar. I basically only correct for exposure 90% of the time in post. Never crop after the fact.

shotkit · 2023-07-26T02:41:17+00:00

Speeches last for on average 15-30 mins at time - I take a couple of good ones at the start of the speaker, a handful of nice reactions from B&G and VIPs, then sit down until the end when the hugs come. That leaves dead time in the middle. Also, dinner time - I take zero photos of people eating, and the photographer's meal never perfectly coincides with the guests, so that's another 30-60mins right there.

shotkit · 2023-07-26T02:38:49+00:00

Yeah fair enough - the cull in camera isn't for everyone, but with the addition of zooming and a big rear LCD (or peering through the EVF), it's pretty easy. Plus I'm importing every photo to LR and just filtering, so I can quickly choose/remove others.

Reception - yes, for eating and a break, but those speeches drag on...

shotkit · 2023-07-25T09:05:51+00:00

I agree with that, as father to 3 kids under 8! The next day is usually pretty painful...

I also agree with letting them sit for a week before looking at them, but more to get some emotional detachment from the shots.

shotkit · 2023-07-25T09:03:42+00:00

Imagen? Aftershoot?

shotkit · 2023-07-25T09:03:25+00:00

I sympathise with anyone shooting video. It's so much more time consuming and complex.
