Canon EOS 5D - 50th/sec - F2.8 - ISO 1600 - Manual - Natural

I have just included this image for a couple of reasons. The first is to always try and get some perspective during the ceremony...

As many ceremonies are quiet with very little movement, I try and stay in the same place and blend in for the important parts of the service. However, for this shot I moved a little to keep the groom in shot as the bride moved forward to "say her piece".

Secondly, this church was one of the darkest I have known with no flash allowed and this is where it gets quite tough. It is a small traditional Spanish church in the middle of Marbella.

You can see by the settings that I was really pushing the limits whilst shooting hand held at 50th/sec at f2.8. Where I was standing had no room at all for a tripod plus I had the video guy standing right next to me.

For me, the Canon EOS 5D has stunning quality and lack of noise at high ISO's like this at 1600. In fact I would go as far to say that this image is better than what I used to get with 400 ISO film way back when.

I had been to the church before during a reccie visit and had taken some test shots then so I knew where I stood on the day. If I hadn't have done that and turned up unprepared, it could have got quite panicky.

Preparation!
