Rolo Posted July 10, 2008 Share #162 Posted July 10, 2008 Rolo, that shot of the kids is one of the funniest shots I've ever seen. thanks for letting us see it. Hope the bride and groom thought so too! Many thanks Riccis (thought you were in Mexico .... wish me too ) & Steve. He was a little gem. Two weeks later, his dad took him for a walk in a park. He ran ahead back to the car park, as kids do ..... picked up a stone and striped his dad's company car, both sides. His company made him repair it at his cost. Oh the joy and pleasure of ......... Who would kill him ?? Rolo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Roberts Posted July 10, 2008 Share #163 Posted July 10, 2008 Rolo--those are great shots, and the tonality, even with the crummy screen representation, is lovely! Thanks for posting those! As for the kid and the car... well, I have a 4 year old son, so I sympathise completely! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vieri Posted July 10, 2008 Share #164 Posted July 10, 2008 Thanks, will not be shown in the Hall of Fame, but one that always brings a smile. Had to scramble on hands and knees to dig the negs out to take a look. It was shot on Fuji Superia 400 and actually on a Leica M3 and probably a 50mm Summicron. In a way I'm glad you asked because I have a discarded sample album that I come across from time to time and the tonality of the bride's preparation shots always stop me and I think WOW, wonder what film I used for that. Here's a sample and on screen it looks nowhere near as good as in print; in fact I'd be disappointed with a screen view today, but the prints !!* The film I'm referring to is Fuji Superia 800. Because I only had one camera body, plus a Mam 7 backup, I changed over after the first film to Superia 400. Ended up with Superia because it was my first wedding (of my 'Professional career'), was unpaid and I was invited to shoot only 5 hours before the ceremony. Next day, I bought a Nikon D70 which made life so much easier, but the end result was not as good. Sorry about the bio .... here's the 800 iso scan. Rolo And if you'll forgive me, on this digital thread, here's another from the same day, Fuji 400. The tonality is quite different from what I capture digitally today. Am I making sense here? I can bend a digital file as good as the next man, but this is untouched and all the pics from the sequence are perfect matches - very little post work needed. It was here that I learned to hand hold an M for 1/15 sec whilst holding breath and praying atthe same time. I shot a wedding in the same church a month ago with a DSLR and probably from the very same spot and probably at an iso that spoiled the image. Must compare the files. Rolo as dear friend Jamie said : With the M bodies, when you nail the focus the focus is indeed nailed Rolo, thank you very much for the information and for the bio which I enjoyed reading very much. I do agree with your points re: film vs digital and post, once you nailed it on film there isn't much you gotta do in PP; digital is a different beast altogether, more convenient most times when you are in a hurry and when you got your workflow down, but still film's character is IMHO unmatched in the end. This, of course, doesn't mean I don't use digital for my pro work, I do and love the time saving & convenience especially for color work; for my personal stuff is all film, and for BW digital doesn't come close - still, of course, IMHO.

Rolo Posted July 10, 2008 Share #165 Posted July 10, 2008 This might interest someone. (Hope so ) Two weddings same spot. Digital - 24-70L @ 28mm, wide open @ f2.8, iso 1250, 1/50s, -0.33 stops, ambient light. Leica MP, 35mm Lux Asph, Superia, iso 400, 1/30s (?), ambient light. Very little processing of either. On screen the digital image wins technically, but what about the aesthetics? No prize for guessing which is which. Can anybody post similar with the M8 + film or DSLR for interest?

Riccis Posted July 15, 2008 Share #167 Posted July 15, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Back home and ready to revive this thread From this weekend's wedding in Cabo San Lucas (I leave hot South Florida to wind up in hotter Mexico, what's wrong with me?...) Nothing special, just wanted to share new work. Captured with the M8 and 35/1.4 ASPH, ISO 160, f/8 and 1/1500s, custom B&W conversion.

NB23 Posted July 15, 2008 Share #168 Posted July 15, 2008 Extremely nice! Love it! I'm not sure it has anything to do with the M8 but it's a fine extra. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riccis Posted July 15, 2008 Share #169 Posted July 15, 2008 Thanks, Ned... You are right, anyone could have taken this image but I was really happy to have a lightweight kit such as the M8/35-75 with me since it was extremely hot and uncomfortable during the ceremony.

ryancrouch Posted July 15, 2008 Share #170 Posted July 15, 2008 Riccis, I disagree about anyone being able to take this! But at least you probably didn't look like you were on TT's payroll or advertising expenses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Tyler Posted July 15, 2008 Share #172 Posted July 15, 2008 Gorgeous, Riccis. My problem is getting comfortable in my routine, always sitting at the front of the aisle for the processional. I never would have dared to be so far away from the action like this, but the results speak for themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'Ate Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share #173 Posted July 15, 2008 Fabulous Riccis. Fantastic shadows and your positioning was exemplary. Most of us would only get that dashing back from the car after forgetting the flash gun. A classic for your portfolio. Glad your back safely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Roberts Posted July 15, 2008 Share #174 Posted July 15, 2008 Wow Riccis! Stunning shot, man! I have to admit I'm usually a lot closer to the couple LOL!!... nice to have the space to do this, but it takes guts as well. Well done! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StS Posted July 15, 2008 Share #176 Posted July 15, 2008 Newfangled contraptions - M3 and collapsible Summicron. One gets a lot of happy faces, nobody believes the old camera actually works... I'm happy when a professional is covering a wedding. I can enjoy the party and take images just for fun. Welcome, dear visitor!

gaelsteve01 Posted June 5, 2010 Share #177 Posted June 5, 2010 You travel together to the wedding destination and also shoot each and every moment of the wedding. Also you will shoot full wedding coverage and can make the wedding memory unforgettable. Hope this helps! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giordano Posted June 5, 2010 Share #178 Posted June 5, 2010 You travel together to the wedding destination and also shoot each and every moment of the wedding. Also you will shoot full wedding coverage and can make the wedding memory unforgettable. I wonder if there's a correlation - positive or negative - between the number of exposures made by the wedding photographer and the number of years before the divorce?

wilfredo Posted June 5, 2010 Share #179 Posted June 5, 2010 I'm at the other end of weddings as the officiant. I'm the nasty priest who says, NO FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY and no running around the altar. Weddings are a drain on clergy hence I admire wedding photographers. I hardly ever think of shooting weddings but some of the stuff shared here like Ricci's work might inspire me to try it. I do however enjoy using the M8 in low light church situations like these shots and can see why it would be very useful for weddings. Most of what I usually see is Canon and Nikon gear, lot's of bulky stuff that really doesn't have to be. Welcome, dear visitor!
