Couldn't agree more 🙂 Over the time i have learned to take advantage from it. I let them fight over who's going to take the most beautiful snapshot with their compacts.. So while the couple is posing for them i can take some very interesting shoots 🙂
Shooting in bright sun sometimes we need the flash as a fill light. But like i said previously , what he does has nothing to do with fill flash.
i am using eos 50 d with 17:85 usm, and 50 mm 1.8f i hardly use flash cuz what available light provide result flash cannot u guys can see my work on Facebook its Sunny Gill Photography
15 years of wedding photography.. to much and direct flashing for my taste. I am a 40D owner myself. I turn on the flash only when iso 1600 can't provide me enough light. NOISE isn't the enemy ! Noise can be artistic if you know how to take advantage of it.
hello may i know what lens did you used with your canon 40D camera for wedding in this video?
Very good! I'm surprised he doesn't bounce the flash more though. I still use a 40d for my weddings-and we think alike! I use the Tamron 10-24mm lens quite a bit for the wider shots. Mated with my 50mm f/1.4 & 100mm f/2 it's my trio i use 85% of the time! Great stuff!
Nice! 🙂
@rookierok Dat's definitely no L lens……………..but I'm not dat's smth to worry about , it all comes down to atmosphere of the moment not the equipment used 🙂
Great Photos, I hope our photographer has your eye!
What I hate when I shoot wedding are amateur photographers – I mean guests with compact cameras, they ruining when wedding copuple poses. Photography looses then integrity, when people runnin into images with nonwedthings – pink cameras…or so…And especialy I dont like when people not acutaly needed in image are shown there and dont respect instructions of photographer…even theyre shadows can make some good shots looking like crap.
Amazing shots and tips…Can you keep adding; I'm a newly inspired photographer and can use all inspirations. thanks
Felicitaciones al fotógrafo….fotos muy lindas y de buena composición…

I`m a non-Flash-User but his Flash-Pics are awesome
" Direct flash? I'm disappointed in Canon allowing a photographer that can't light properly be representing you as a company. Take this crap down plz."
your"lame" direct lowered flash light is in photographers world known as "pulling the shutter" (or similar in english, sorry if i wrongly translate that term) and its allowing him to expose background and freeze movement.
his work is professional, your comment is not.
Oh man, I would love to score an Italian wedding.
tell nasty aunt bob to GTFO the way at 1:40
Many professionals use 40D's. What would you rather see? An Ansel Adams composition or some laywer's insipid macro photography done with a 5D mkII and a $2000 zoom lens?
His work is professional. Of course un-sharpened, high res, raw images wont blow you away in a low res youtube video… Are you bitter amateurs really saying the couple is going to be unhappy with these pictures?
You must be looking at a different 46sec. The profile shot pointing to the left, after the guy grins – that's a 5D, and the shot after, pointing to the right, that's a 40D
Personally the only reason why I would opt for the 40D is only because it shoots faster and has a high flash sync speed compared to the 5D otherwise he would have been happier with the 5D, smoother images, slightly better dynamic range, faster focusing and full frame. What kills me is his n00b lighting. Direct flash? I'm disappointed in Canon allowing a photographer that can't light properly be representing you as a company. Take this crap down plz.
its a 40D @ 46-47. you can see lines on a pop up flash and the 5D has more of a rounded top for the viewfinder. and its a 580 ex(ii) not 530, there are 430's
the video is better than the pictures….
1:28 that picture sucks ass! i actually got goosebumps seeing it!….
he's right – at 46-47 sec, it's a 5D, and then the next clip it's a 40D
At :49 it's a 40D – it has the 40D layout (unless the 5D is the same?) – the lenses do change quite a bit throughout in this, though it's not always clear if it is the 40D throughout – or they're telling porkies!
He means journalism style
i'm going to embark on wedding photography soon. seeing these kinds of videos is inspiring.
Some of the viewer comments seem petty. I enjoyed this video.
he likes to shoot in a REPORTAGE style
what does he say in :38??? he likes to shoot in a "_____ style". any help would be appreciated.
ur so dum… its something called youtube degrades the qaulity and its no HQ feature…
30 years of failure
Hmmm, pictures aren't that good, a 40D is just an expensive consumer-grade camera, and he's using sigma lenses…he has nothing to offer me
yes it is
lol
nice. although the canon eos 40d isn't the good camera…
Excellent video, excellent photographer, and great motivational ideas to get you to buy a 40d.
is this a advertisement
at 2,15 u can really see how small he is.
great film
Great videos and great photos! And its the man (or woman) behind the camera that makes the pictures not the camera. Maybe more grain or less depth of field, but what is shown here is beautiful.Belissima! (i owe a 40D too and will be shooting my first wedding this week *yikes*)
Yes, your videos are much better!! perfect style, beautiful pictures. BRAVO! stop throwing tomatoes from the sidewalk until you can back up your critical words.
Great Video
great vid. thats my dream cam. just gotta wait for a half more paychecks to get it 🙂
that was a great little video – really enjoyed it 🙂
