Life's Money Shots

I said it. Money Shot. I'm not being dirty. There is a list of photos that get taken that everyone does their own version of.. Landmarks in towns, certain parts of nature, etc. Here's a few I've done:

















Port Denison, WA

Nikon D3000 / 18mm
1/125s / f4.5 / ISO100





















Perth from Kings Park, dawn.

Nikon D3000, 18-55mm
ISO100 / approx 4 sec exposure

Celebration as an amatuer.



















I have a theory. When I'm at an event, I try to take as many shots as I can. Storage is cheap, and there's no reason why you shouldn't utilize it. If you are prepared you wont have problems with storage or running out of electricity.

On this afternoon I took something around the 1400 photo mark. 1400 photos in a day. That includes pre-ceremony, ceremony, post ceremony and reception. I'd say about 250 or so photos made the final cut in the end. One in particular however stood out for me. This one.

I really like how everything lines up just right in this. The fact that the groomsmen line up behind the bride really frames her.
