Location for a story board
As mentioned in some of my previous posts, I do a lot of scouting prior to a wedding shoot.
This way, I can show the couple that Wedding Photography, as captured by Nomad Photography, is not just clicking the trigger on the day of the Wedding.
I try to compose a story with the location that they chose. I plan for plan B for “what if” scenarios and also I make sure to show them the photos and have achat with teh couple so if they have some particular request, we can discuss during our final meeting before the wedding day.
Actually, I met the couple of my last wedding during a scout on a previous wedding. We had a chat, I gave them my card and 6 months later, I got a call from them to book their Wedding Photography. How good is that !
Here are some shots from my last location scouting. It’s in Lennox Garden, in Canberra (ACT).
I’ll post a few more later on.
Wedding in the Gardens
As promised, a few photos that I just finished to PP.
This was a sunny day and I had the joy to shoot this wedding in The Botanic Gardens. We almost had the gardens for ourselves until some … locals came along to join in and share the happyness of the newly wed. Check out by yourself.
Oh, also that I love rings, especially when they are engraved. A few words meaning a lifetime of love.
See what I meant when I talked about Locals ???
The Ring
Canon canon canon …
I just realised that my recent posts only concern the new Canon 5D Mark 2 and nothing much about wedding photography.
o be honest, I am a bit behind with my wedding post processing but the hype of this new camera is so … WOW that I can’t concentrate on post processing 🙂 (I’m sure that my brides understand that I take time to deliver the best photos for them…:p)
Ok, let’s get back to the main topic of this post: The Canon 5D Mark II, again.
There were, and still are, so many posts around the blogs and I have replied on forums regarding this camera.
As a professional photographer, I welcome the new comer (5D2) geared with never-seen-before features, such as, MP, ISO range, Full HD video and an incredible announced price of 2700 USD.
Of course, the price tag would put tis camera in the hands of a wider range of users and that’s a very good thing.
I can still hear other “pro” photographer complaining that the business is under threat as uncle Bob, or aunt Mary or again cusin Harry, could have the same gear as the “Pros“.
Well, my answer would be that it’s not the camera it makes the difference, but the way one uses the camera.
Is the profesional photography bsiness threaten because of the price of this camera? No. And the proof is that workshops, books, online publications around the world yell out the need for education. There is no bad tools, ony bad users.
Anyway, jst take a look at the ability of the camera to shoot video. Check out this incredible video, shot with the Canon 5D Mark II, by a french Photographer Vincent LAFORET.
Here is the Video from Youtube
While the quality of the video is incredible, it is worthwhile to have a look at the behind-the-scene of the video itself (BIG bandwidth recommended).
That is what I meant when I say that the difference between a profesional photog and uncle Bob is using the cmera as a tool and not a toy.

Story Board
As usual, before a wedding I use to scout around the location to plan for the shoot and an eventual plan B. The next wedding will be a japanese wedding and will be at Nara Park, the Ceremony will be hold at a little pagoda next to the lake.
What I use to do is “imagine” how every thing is gonna happen. Locate my spot for a photojournalistic style of shoots, and also find out the spots, and the direction of the light, for the formals, posed shots and for the bridal party.
I went there yesterday afternoon and snap a few shots. I’ll post more later on.
