This past weekend was pretty busy. I had two shoots on Saturday to go to. The first was a shoot at a firehouse that I've been asked not to make public. Rest assured though, the photos came out great, thanks to the 5D and a little help from a button-pushing-knob-turner.
(OK, Maybe just a couple.)
That was from about 9 A.M. to about 2 P.M. Lots of fun there. The firemen were really cool even though they had to go on about 5 runs while we were there.

The second shoot that day was a wedding that I w
as second-shooting for. It went well. It was a nice wedding at a nice location. Can't complain. Half-way through the reception though, we began to print portraits on the spot. This was a little distracting from events going on in the reception, and had us side-tracked for a short time. There is a high demand for portrait prints on the spot. The bad thing is you need at least 3 people to tend to the event. 1 for the computer/printer, 1 for shooting the portraits, and 1 to not forget about the job at hand, which is covering the wedding reception. We only had 2, so it was a bit of a juggle.

On with the pics:
This next photo was taken by our 12-year-old assistant, Megan. She used my Canon XTi with the 50 1.8 lens. I'm impressed. She got several good shots that night.
And now back to the 5D/ 70-200 2.8L IS.
Dancing with the Father of the Bride...
Example of on-site portrait printing shot:
This was the setup: Two White Lightning 1600s, Two 60" shoot-through umbrellas, a Sony Laptop and a huge Epson Printer, off to the right.

It was really alot of fun shooting that wedding, and I hope to do more soon.
