That's an easy one: I bring it. Mostly for the reception, and as you said, "just in case" but I want one there.
That being said if I had something smaller and very high quality (Fuji X Pro 1? M9? Hey, I can dream) I might prefer that. A bit less conspicuous than a dslr might be nice, but I have always gotten nice feedback from the wedding party and/or guests when I've shared photos of such events afterwards. Hey, the paid photographer can't be everywhere. As long as no one gets in his/her way, I don't see a problem. Geez, I've even had a wedding photog sidle up next to me and say, "Yeah, this is the shot, thanks!". Sorry to go on so. To summarize, I vote "bring". ;-) cheers, frank "What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof." -- Christopher Hitchens --- Original Message --- From: Christine Nielsen <[email protected]> Sent: April 25, 2012 4/25/12 To: "Pentax-Discuss Mail List" <[email protected]> Subject: Wedding photography (or not), + peso... Here's a survey question... as an invited guest at a wedding, do you bring your dslr? A good friend of mine got married this weekend... I almost didn't bring it, but in the end, I threw the k-5 & FA 50 in my purse "just in case" I wanted it later.... It's funny territory, I think. There's a pro on hand to capture the day. Yet, the number of cell phone and p&s cams being held aloft in the pews is almost comical... On the other hand, maybe the dslr seems a bit much? I mean, you don't want to be Uncle Harry, elbowing the pro out of the way to get your shot of the happy couple... Hmm. Maybe the K-01 (in white, of course) for this type of occasion would be appropriate. I'll have to see if it fits in an evening bag... :) -c http://www.flickr.com/photos/23028562@N04/6967449816/in/photostream/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
