Thank you for releasing this. Although it is old, there are so many interesting things to take from it. Seeing you both interact with the Bride and Groom, the guests and, most interestingly, with each other is a real treat. I like the no nonsense, efficient conversations you have with each other that don't allow for any drama, but just work toward the same goal. The group shot discussion that ended with you both wrestling the hammock out of view was a great example. A majority of the edits you did could be done solely in Lightroom now. I'd be interested in how much your editing style has changed now all of the software has matured. I would love to see a wedding where the weather is a complete berk and see how you would still deliver a high end result. Thanks again. I always enjoy your videos - no matter how old! Take care.

Learning like this is PRICELESS for me/us who are wanting to be so much better at what we do. I was sweating just watching you-yet, not having the pressure of being there. What I loved the BEST was seeing the set-up on video of the shoot and then immediately after showing the finished image-PRICELESS!! Thank you guys soooo very much for doing this for all of us.

A very honest and as true to real life a wedding photographers day could be. A great fly on wall video. I like how Lovegrove uses +/- Exp Comp when outside shooting. I have done a few weddings and outside in bright Sun light is hard going. So getting people in the shade is a great touch. Plus the changing white balance inside a venue is challenging enough!

I am just checking this out. I'm a quarter of the way through the flash course video. It is the best I have seen. I am in awe of the photographers at this wedding. In most of the wedding tutorials pictures or videos I have seen, the photographers looked like they had dressed out of the rag bin at the local thrift store. It seems as the last 20-30 years in the US, the trashier the wedding attire and decorations, the better. Don't, just don't, look for Diamonds and Denim wedding themes. You will sleep better nights if you never witness one. I will never shoot a wedding, but for what I expect to learn for people pictures and portraits, I expect Lovegrove to be tops. And another thing, Damien is very courteous and respectful to his staff and models. I suspect that he is the same off camera as he is on.

Dear Mr. Lovegrove, Thank you very much again for one more fantastic educational video, I'm very grateful that you share your talent and valuable experience! I'd like to ask two questions: in the backlit pics at Aperture priority, e.g. directly in front of the window, did you use any exposure compensation which brought about the shutter speed written in the caption? Second: some shots are high ISO and high shutterspeed: why not to use ISO automatic?
@LovegroveTraining
@LovegroveTraining 4 жыл бұрын
Thank you AstroRicky. This was shot 11 years ago and Auto ISO was not a thing on Canon 5D cameras ;) On old school DSLRs I used Aperture Priority with some exposure compensation dialled in for every shot. I looked at the background and chose the amount of compensation depending upon it's brightness. That is all history now as I've shot with mirrorless cameras exclusively for the past 8 years. I work in manual mode and what I see is what I get and there is no need to let the camera make any decisions. Kindest regards, Damien.

@LovegroveTraining
@LovegroveTraining 11 ай бұрын
The zooms are a bit soggy at f2.8 and more importantly f4 gets both eyes and the tip of the nose sharp whilst maintaining focus separation. We shot f4 for 10 years (400 weddings) and it gave the finished work a consistent look. Just like feature films are shot at one aperture we did the same ;) I hope this helps.

I’m still in that ‘old world’ of DSLR. I’m shooting a beach wedding Saturday, if the weather repeats what it was like today I’ll be shooting my formals with a very strong sun above and behind. There’s at least three full stops to balance out, I’m going armed with 2 Canon 600 speedlight and a Godox AD200 so hopefully I’ll be able to keep some colour and highlights behind and nicely expose the wedding party. I have a smaller mirror less, the M50 but that’s just for video and recce. I’ll move into it soon enough though, will be nice losing some of the weight

what if using the flash with its diffuser on ,pointing up to the ceiling!i saw you did that in a few shots!

The flash was pointing up to cut the light going direct and to reduce contrast in the scene. The flash then becomes like holding up a light bulb. It is not softer in any way just lower contrast than direct flash. :)

Hi, this is a fabulous video, really informative. I'm looking for a similar monopod but can seem to find one with the lever. Can ask where it's from ?

The info about my monopod is in the video description. Here is a copy and paste: Damien's Monopod: Back in 2008 I was using a Neotec monopod from Manfrotto. I removed the foot bracket and replaced it with a walking stick rubber foot. I also removed the handle safety lock. This made the process of adjusting height very fast. I now use a Gitzo carbon fibre monopod as it is lighter and goes much lower too. There wasn't much walking to do at a wedding compared to my latest adventures.

That's the way to check your camera sensor to see if its clean, can't fault it ????? Just shows the need for a anti-aliasing filter when he is taken shots in the grooms room the waistcoat effects are terrible. Do like all the detail that they show and how demanding a wedding shot can be well done guys .

Way back in 2008 HD was not an option. DVD can only hold SD and this is what TV looked like in those days too. The production was originally released on DVD. It's a step up from VHS but only just because this length of production needed a lot of compression to fit onto a DVD. I hope this helps.
