My sister in-law's wedding

Dooginfif20

Well this 4th of July was my sister in-laws wedding and she asked me to take some candid shots of her rehearsal dinner and some at the wedding. I didn't want to do it at first because I didn't want to get in the real photographers way, but I took a few. I think they turned out pretty good. It was also a time for me to try out the Tamron 70-200 to see if I want to purchase this one or the Nikon 70-200. After this I have decided that the Nikon is what I want. So anyways I have posted a few on here and the rest can be found at:

Feel free to let me know what you think!

What do you not like about the TAMMY??

Decent set of shots.....it shows that you were self concious about shooting around athe hired gun......never let that bother you or should you be hired to 2nd shoot it could interfer subconciously.........

if you really think you need the stabilization the nikon has maybe you should look at Sigma......their new 70-200 has OS along with the HSM(hyper sonic motor).......andabout close to 1/2 price...........I love my siggys.........

Thanks Art. The Tammy AF was just way too slow for me. I actually got mad a few times because of how slow it AF. Also I had some seating issues with it too. I didnt like how you switch from MF to AF also.

As for the pictures. I thought that the lens caused them to be a little soft at times but over all I thought they were good. I was asked to actually shoot the wedding by my sister in-law but I had zero experience shooting a wedding. I have now shot 2nd at 3 and hopefully have 3 more this summer.

Very nice photographs, but I agree...several of them appear to be soft. What was the shutter speed on 1,3, and 5?

It would be easier on those who respond to refer to a particular image if you could number them in the future....:D

great photos though a few are a touch soft as mentioned, the colors in the 1st shot are just super!

Art,

I don't see any Sigma 70-200mm lens with OS listed on their website...perhaps you can provide a link to the lens that you are speaking about. Their new 70-200mm is retailed at $1200.00...and doesn't have OS...hmmm...

1 was 1/320, 3 was 1/160 and 5 was 1/40. I think if I choose to use the Tamron more I will have to use it on a monopod for some help.

Thanks! Ya that shot is actually straight out of the camera. No added post processing.

You caught some nice shots. Good moments and some good subjects.
