Vancouver is a wonderful place for making films. Vancouver also owns the pride of having excellent educational services for film or media related courses.

British Columbia (BC) has been known as an excellent production centre for making feature films since 1999. BC film making schools or institutes enable their students to learn the best and newest digital techniques. Once you complete the program at BC  schools or institutes, you can gain diverse talents for making a feature film. British Columbia serves as a leading filmmaking center due to its diverse locations and temperate climate, and also due to the depth of production infrastructure.

As someone who grew up as a Nantucket photographer, I’ve been asked numerous times for wedding photography tips, here are a few suggestions.

Create A List Of Shots.

Request or suggest to the couple to provide you with a list of shots they would like for their wedding. This makes things easy to remember and you can check them off as you click away. very helpful for family and group shots. It would be a real bummer to find out when you get the photos back that you missed Uncle Joe.

Use An Assistant.

Shooting the family portraits can be frustrating when you have people missing and they are not organized. People are just having too much fun and are wondering about – not really thinking about photography. I recommend to bring an assistant (preferably female) to nominate a family member to gather everyone for the portraits. They can round everyone up and make the shoot go so much faster so everyone can go back to celebrating.

Stay Prepared.

So much can go wrong on the day – so you need to be well prepared. Have a backup plan (in case of bad weather), have batteries charged, memory cards blank, think about routes and time to get to places and get an itinerary of the full day so you know what’s happening next. If you can, attend the rehearsal of the ceremony where you’ll gather a lot of great information about possible positions to shoot from, the lighting, the order of the ceremony etc.

Discuss Expectations.

With Your Bride. Show them your albums and samples of your work. Find out the style they want to achieve, how many pictures, key moments they want photographed, format of the shots ( digital, film), and more. Make sure to go over the price so they know exactly what they are paying for.

Minimize Your Camera Noise.

Camera clicks and beeps during the vows and toasts can be distracting. Switch off sound before hand and keep it off.

Shoot With Two Cameras.

It’s too easy for one camera to go down during a shoot leaving stranded with out anyways to finish your work and destroying your reputation. Buy, borrow, or rent an extra camera for the day and set it up with a different lens. I try to shoot with one wide angle lens for candid shots and tight spaces and one longer lens (it can be handy to have something as large as 200mm if you can get your hands on one – I use a 70-200mm).

Capture The Details.

Take pictures of the rings, details in the dress, eyes, lips, table settings, interior etc – these help give the end album an extra dimension. Pick up a wedding magazine at your local news stand for a little inspiration.

Bring A Second Shooter.

Having a second backup photographer can greatly facilitate the day and improve your coverage. It means less running around during ceremony and speeches, and allows for your or your second to capture the formal shots while the other covers something else. Most importantly, it takes a little pressure off you being ‘the one’ to have to get every shot!

Don’t Be Shy.

Being shy won’t get you ‘the shot’. Sometimes you need to step to the front of the line to capture a moment. However, timing is everything and planning ahead to get in the right spot for key moments are important so you don’t disrupt the event. During the ceremony I try to move around at least 4-5 times but try to time this to coincide with songs, prayers or longer readings. During the portrait session take charge, know what you want, and ask for it from the couple.

I am looking for some sort of slr

http://clickherephotographytips.com/ The term aperture refers to the size of the opening within the camera lens that allows light to be recorded either onto a digital sensor or onto film.

The correct size lens opening or aperture combined with a correct shutter speed and the correct ISO / ASA settings will result in a correct exposure.

In this blog I will be discussing only aperture. Shutter speeds and ISO /ASA settings will be discussed later in another blog.

I have decided to discuss each of the above separately as they are easier for people that are learning photography to understand. After I have explained the three areas that influence exposure separately I plan to bring it all together into another blog.

So here we go…

Don’t get confused by the turn f-stop and aperture as it is the same thing. As you read this blog you will notice on occasions that I will change from using the term aperture to using the turn f-stop, think of it as exactly the same thing…

The term aperture / f-stop refers to the size of a hole or opening in which light travels, in the area of photography it specifically refers to the size of the lens opening that provides a hole for light to be recorded either onto a digital sensor or onto the film plane.

The aperture or lens opening size is referred to as a f-stop. Adjusting the f-stop size is generally achieved in two ways, the first is to rotate a ring on the lens of the camera that has numbers such as 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32, 45, etc.

The second way of adjusting f-stop on your camera and is by either rotating a dial, or; by pushing a few buttons. On almost all occasions particularly when using a professional digital camera you will change the aperture using a dial. However, if using a Compact Digital camera or when using your camera settings in automatic (program) you often will not need to change your aperture and this is done for you automatically.

The aperture is indicated either within the viewfinder of the camera or on the LCD screen on the back of your camera, depending upon the type of digital camera you are using (compact DSLR or professional DSLR) and the camera manufacturer.

The display panel either within the viewfinder or on the back of the camera will also indicate your cameras shutter speed…

Apertures available for selection are determined by the focal length of the lens you are using, the cost of the lens or the cost of the camera, however; regardless of the lens manufacturer all lenses have been calibrated to measure the correct f-stop. For example, f8 on a dedicated Canon lens will be the same as f8 on a lens made by Nikon.

Each of the numbers mentioned earlier refer to what we call a f-stop / aperture.

The aperture or f-stop numbers can vary to a small degree as they are not limited to the numbers identified earlier, for example some f-stops that could be used are f1.8, f9.5, f13, f16.5 etc. Digital cameras have an almost unlimited array of it stops to select.

And aperture of f2.8 – f5.6 refers to a wide aperture which is a large opening in the lens, whereas f11 refers to a medium-sized opening within the lens and f22 – f32 etc refers to a small opening with the lens.

It is very important understand this principle because it is possible to use a narrow depth of field (f4 for example) to really put some creativity into your photography.

For now I don’t wish to confuse you in relation to Depth Of Field (DOF) as we are only looking at one component that affects depth of field – aperture. I will cover DOF in a future blog.

Remembering that the aperture is only one of three factors that affect correct exposure, the others are shutter speed and ISO – ASA settings and I will explain more about obtaining the correct exposure in future blogs.

So there you have it, the term aperture or f-stop simply referred to the opening within the lens and the amount of light allowed to be recorded on the digital sensor or film plane.

Remember to keep in touch by visiting my blog occasionally as there will be a lot more information in regard to shutter speed, ISO / ASA, exposure, Depth Of Field, wedding photography, landscape photography, portraiture etc.

If you are in search of more information I have a number of videos YouTube that may be of interest to you, simply log into YouTube and complete a search on the word ClickHerePhotography.
