Weeks ago I was asked to do some photos for a Munich church - for the first holy communion. And this was not a privat photoshooting - it was an offical shooting as they want to avoid all parents standing in front of their kids and do some photos. The kids wouldn't concentrate on their first communion so now in most of the churches here it isn't allowed anymore to do photos when there are some parochial ceremonies. (From the churchs view I can understand as then there is always a disturbance during these cereomnies - from a mothers or involved peoples view I think its hard not to take pics from your little one who is standing in front ot the pastor....
First thought yesterday was yipppeee - sun is shining and there will be a good light at church as the roof of the church has some windows so the sun can come right in front of the altar and the children. Bad luck - the sun was there and the children always blinked with their eyes. Then my camera went wild because with all those white dresses and the sun on it the camera was confused - too bright because of the white dresses - background too dark - aaahhhh - I really did sweat yesterday...and I am not soooo happy with the result - but I couldn't ask for doing the holy communion again on another day :)
More when I am done with checking all pics....
I feel and understand your frustration and not being able to use a flash as that would have sorted a lot of the shadows.
AntwortenLöschenI know the feeling of sweating when your camera goes wild, but mine was not half as much pressure as yours as you were the official photographer....heavens I would have been a wreck.
I do love the atmosphere all the photo's have with the shadows and light, but know with your perfection eye you wanted that little bit more.
Thanks for your kind comment on my blog, after a comment I got there I did feel that it was not really good.
So thanks for lifting me up while feeling So down.
