I was a second shooter at a wedding rehearsal and wedding over the last two days and am very tired. I was glad to do it though because I have a wedding next week that I am first shooter and needed to refresh the brain on a lot of things. I can't believe how quickly I was able to jump back into it. It took about ten minutes of shooting at the church and the reception hall before I had my camera's settings dialed in at both places.
I shot at the ceremony using an ISO around 8000 with no flash. those pictures turned out just a bit grainy but should be fine with a little processing. At the the reception I was using a Sunpak 544 pointed straight up into the ceiling between 1/2 to 1/16 power. My camera was set with ISO 800, a shutter speed of around 1/100 but it varied which was dependent on the effect I was going for. As always I set my camera to rear curtain sync so the flash was firing at the end of the exposure. You can really get some cool affects by dragging the shutter but you need to make sure that you compensate with the shutter speed.
I'll be posting more about the wedding shoot but I'm really tired right now and have to get to bed because I have a scouting trip tomorrow to look for places for a wedding shoot that I have next weekend.
