A friend recently got married in Allerton Castle in Yorkshire. A grand and spectacular venue for a very special day. A nightmare photography wise, at least indoor, as the main room is floor to ceiling clad in dark brown oak panelling. Looks wonderful, but where do you get the light from……
Interesting for me was to see the official photographer running around with the same canera I am using: D300. For all those who have kit envy for most professional photographers: his main lens was a kit lens: 18-70mm. And his results are stunning. So no need to re-mortgage the house just to get some decent results!
The photographer was Mike Browne and you can find some details here. Lovely chap, didn’t mind me constantly talking shop to him. Then again, the champagne went down a treat! Sorry Mike.
Here are some of my photos I took with my trusted S95. Who needs a DSLR when you have this little gem in your pocket! Mostly set to auto, it dealt with the conditions brilliantly. Most flash pictures were taken with second curtain sync as I love the effect that gives!
