Tips for photography in low light wedding?
Hello, I'm an SF-wedding photographer. I was treated almost all lighting situations as possible, but I'm really curious what other photographers do in low light situations. I have usually tend to be afraid to use my Speedlite much as possible – if I do I use a LumiQuest Softbox diffuser … but I'm looking for other alternative … Are you using a special technique to get a nice picture without breaking the bank with flash? I shoot with a Canon 30D and af/2.8L 24-70 Objective of the majority of the time … the lens is very fast, which helps … Looking forward to hearing your answers / suggestions!
Given the circumstances there are two options to archive the result you want. Option 1: Already mentioned by a poster knowledgeable and helpful about using expensive lens wide open. Option 2: Use high ISO to the lens you already own. The noise is certainly a concern to ISO 800-1600, but compromise that does not use a flash that leaves you with no alternative. To circumvent the problem of noise, you have a little extra work on post-treatment photos. Make sure you are shooting RAW images contain more information and can withstand many more adjustments. Run your first pass through your Software RAW then process the photos using a software noise reduction, such as Noise Ninja or Nik Dfine. The results are very acceptable. Give it a try, Nik offer a trial version. Http: / / www.niksoftware.com / Dfine / usa / entry.php
