Can you be more specific as to which photograph you were wondering about?

A 580ex & a 580. Nothing off camera, I am pretty minimual when it comes to set up, as in there is no set up. If I can't carry it with me then I won't use it. Do a search for Planet Neil. He has just about the best online resource I have seen for the use of flash at a wedding.

The only other time of the day I will use it is when I am taking portraits inside of a church. Otherwise, (paraphrasing Jeff A.) if I have a bad lighting situation I use more of the enviorment to cover up for bad light. It's always worked for me.

I despise the use of flash unless it's a reception. I am pretty close to Jeff Ascough on this philosophy. That's one reason I have a small army of 1.2 & 1.4 primes. They don't like flash either.

Nah, I had three camera's with me that day so I had all the focal lengths covered and didn't have to change lenses.

Jam to trance/house music and stop every 5 miles to take pictures of something cool. Makes the trip pretty long though when your driving 3,000 miles!

They weren't cheap, but I do think you get what you pay for. I really like the way they work on outdoor shots, because that's where you can really see the neat film like effects. I know of no other preset that can do what VSCO does in those conditions.

Almost all the time, otherwise why else spend the money on it?

First of all my 50 1.4 (when I owned it) stopped working at wedding! :( It literally stopped focusing, even manually). Picture wise there is no comparison and it handles flare beautifully, I can shoot straight at the sun with it. The 50 1.4 is a good lens, the 1.2 is better.

Rework my blog a bit.

Which type of processing? I have different approaches for my wedding vs fashion work. For weddings I do as little as possible & add no toning to my basic workflow. I just try to get a look that is a bit less digital so I use curves and a couple of film emulator plug ins. Whether or not it looks like film i could care less, I just like the way it looks.

Only about 6. I prefer around 7.

At this time I shoot only digital. I am going to start shooting film in the future.

Used to be fall but the past couple of years I have spend part of the summers on the beach, so now I seem to be favoring the summer time.

No Brian does not. I'm real.

Yes. We defeated them in Independence Day. They won't be back.

Actually still learning English. ;)

I have been eying up the 24 1.4 and I think that one will be my next lens purchase. I like the idea of tilt shift, but not sure if the cost can justify how much I will use it.
