good work robbie, some great points here…
this is the most honest and good tech reality I heard on YT..also thanks for the sony review
Very helpful! Thank you.
Very good advice. Thank you.
Why does this guy look like he just witnessed a murder
Thank you, this was helpful! Any tips as for a second photographer?
Good video. Thanks I'm also dong my first wedding in a few weeks so this was really helpful.
My little experience advice mi to photograph the rings in the morning or before the ceremony, at the time of photographing the groom and bride on the dressing up, at that time normally the flower arrive too.
funny that he not just spells "photogapher" but also says "photoGApher" verbally.
You aren't screwed on the flash without the "flash commander".. just purchase trasmitter/receivers. I have a pair of transceivers I got for about $30.00 and a yongnuo flash that has a built in receiver that cost about $70.00. So I just need one transceiver on my camera and I have a reliable way to trigger my off camera flash.
nice video. good information also. didn't realize it took so much work for a wedding shoot.
Too much responsability for me!!! Awesome pics btw, no doubt they loved!!!
4:25 yes these cameras are what battery life should be! The A500 is the same its amazing. Its a shame about the A7 because its coming out as a professional in everything but batterylife! They should stick the Xperia Z5 battery inside their cameras and do good for the environment 😀 are you listening Sony!
thx for the advices , what I do before the reception I change battery, sd card and I alway carry xtra I my pocket
Thanks buddy…..
Can you tell me the setting on 70-200 lens?
Were you in airplane mode on the a7?
I repeat what You`ve already said : definitely get some experience as a second shooter. I`ve done around 20 weddings with an established wedding photographer and it gave me so much confidence when I started shooting on my own. Great tips!
You forgot to mention the extra memory cards! 😉
Great video. At a wedding you only need about 500 photos no reason to over shoot.
Like the new intro animation 🙂
