Greetings All,
I attended the wedding of a friend recently and was pretty surprised about
the photograghy situation. The wedding and reception were photograghed by a
fairly well-known local professional. I didn't pay very close attention to
what equipment he was using, but it seemed to be a recent model all-black
rather large N*k*n.
A few weeks later my friend brought by the "Proofs" for me to see. I was
only moderately surprised to see he was sent a CD-ROM with the images. I was
very surprised by the number of photos...close to 600 images were on the
disk! All were in JPEG format each approximately 150kb in size. Clearly
these image files are too small for any size prints which raises two
questions: was he shooting with a N*k*n D1 and storing the full sized images
on a computer (whew..must be some hard-drive) or did he shoot with film and
scan the negatives? Now like I've stated, I didn't pay close attention
during the ceremony but I don't recall seeing him change any film...and yes
he was the only photogragher.
The sheer volume of images was overwhelming. The poor bride and family
members are not too happy with having to view images on a computer and would
much rather have a "proof book" to pass around.
My own bias is that the vast majority of images were grab shots taken with
little thought of composition or art.
