I finally have an appropriate response to the “Oh wow, your camera takes amazing pictures” comments I always get
Good Luck?
I’ve heard it’s good luck if it rains on your wedding day. I don’t think holding an umbrella on a sunny day counts. Next time turn them around and use a shade tree if it’s that hot of a day.
If you get stumped again check out The Wedding Blog of Darren Hull Studios for some wedding party posing tips.
Am I the only one seeing the yellow stream under the far left bridesmaid?

What Apollo 11 Astronauts Did Right Before Neil Armstrong Set Foot on the Moon
- Aldrin: You've got a good picture, huh?
- Houston: There's a great deal of contrast in it, and currently, it's upside-down on our monitor, but we can make out a fair amount of detail.
- Aldrin: Will you verify the position - the opening I ought to have on the camera?
- Houston: Stand by.
- [Armstrong begins to descend.]
- Houston: We can see you coming down the ladder now.
- Armstrong: Okay, I just checked getting back up to that first step, Buzz. It's -- not even collapsed too far, but it's adequate to get back up... It takes a pretty good little jump.
- Houston: Buzz, this is Houston. F/2 - 1/160th second for shadow photography on the sequence camera.
- Aldrin: Okay.
- Armstrong: I'm at the foot of the ladder. The [Lunar Module] footpads are only depressed in the surface about 1 or 2 inches, although the surface appears to be very fine grained as you get close to it. It's almost like a powder. Down there, it's very fine. I'm going to step off the [Lunar Module] now. THAT'S ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN, ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND.

Things I Learned Today
One of the most important things I’ve been learning about shooting photos these past few weeks is not to look at the LCD after the shot is taken. It may be worthwhile to just disable the auto-preview. Accept that not all of them will turn out satisfactorily and don’t bother to re-shoot unless you’ve found a particularly special moment to capture. You’ll appreciate the results more when you stop thinking about them and focus on the shot.
