Wedding photographed with M4-P


Recommended Posts

In March, I photographed a wedding with my old M4-P. The couple wanted "different" pictures so I figured I could shoot the wedding with a documentary feel. Capture the moment, instead of posing. What do you think? (I usually never photograph weddings)

looks good! I like it a lot. What did the couple think? I expect that they were pleased. The thing I like about them is that they have a sense on motion and because of it, they are more likely to be returned to later than more static poses.

Thank you! They liked them.

Definitely has a different feel to it than a typical wedding here in the US. Simple, clean, urban look to them. They should be very pleased to get these as a journalistic, documentary themed wedding.

 

Did you shoot all B&W or was there color involved? I've been shooting weddings for 20 years and started with medium format on a Bronica ETRs then graduated to 35mm Nikon F4 and F5. Eventually added Leica M6's to the mix... Digital came about in 1999 for me and I stopped shooting film professionally about 8 years ago.

 

At that time I sold my F4, F5, M6's and associated Leica glass (BIG mistake)... Today I am slowly getting out of weddings here in the US - 20 years is enough!

 

Nice work - keep it up!

I like the mirror shot in series 2 second picture. Did you manage to capture the official in reflection with the trio?

Sadly no.

I shoot this with tmax 400. The inside photos where pushed to 1600.

 

Good work. Did you shoot a 35mm lens?

 

Yes! The zeiss biogon 35/2.8.

How did you 'digitise' the photos?

 

I waited for someone to answer your question. I do not know what the Landburg used to scan the photos, but there is a bunch of info on this site about scanners. I have two, a flat bed (Canon 8800F) and a Plustek 7600…. something. There are treads about these, and others here.

 

I do not want to start another discussion on scanners, so just do a bit of searching and I think you will find info that may help you if you are shopping.

 

Maybe my response will also stir the Landburg to answer this question too. I would also like to know, since his scans look nice.

 

I do not do much scanning anymore (I wet print most stuff), but I'd like to know what others are doing.
