thinking about it, could be a project better suited to a holiday, than a normal hum-drum week.

Still going through old stuff that's just turning up. Alcatraz viewed from Pier 39 IIRC. Not very good small, since The Rock blends into Marin County, works a little bit better printed large.
I should totally pirate CS5 and use their new reality altering feature to make Sausalito disappear.

I've borrowed an 85L and a 17-55/2.8IS this last week and shot a wedding, so I've a huge stockpile of images now...but none I can put here. So here's one from the first day I took the 85L out last week...

Great work, everyone. Schmidt - is that last one prep for a wedding?
This from back in May - tourists in evening light, Leicester Square...also cropped square, perhaps as some kind of joke, I don't remember...

Thnks for the kind words folks! The last one is just a makeover session - not a wedding.
I read some of the other ILP wedding photography threads - useful warnings within - am toying with pitching for offering to shoot a friend of a friends wedding late summer.
Will try and post some new ones later this week.

My solo wedding shoot went OK, I think. I'd give myself 6.5/10.
Stuff I messed up: first dance (was totally in wrong position, using wrong lens - but got other bride'n'groom dance shots later where, with careful cropping, it looks like they're on their own), family groups (it was never part of the brief to do these but, inevitably, other guests started to get groups to form for their shots, which I tagged onto and, not being 6'4" or prepared to elbow people out of the way, my piggybacked efforts are kinda lousy). A lot of casual portraits are quite poorly framed too; mindful of retaining 3x2 aspect for printing, my crops are ending up very contrived.
Stuff I nearly messed up: the kiss; shooting the ceremony with available light with the 17-55/2.8IS, suddenly realised the metering on the last few was messed up by strong wall lights behind the couple, starting fiddling with the Speedlite settings and..."you may now kiss..." Just got it with flash.
Stuff I'm kinda proud of: all the unposed portraits with the 85L, especially those after about 8:30pm, when the light on the patio was magical. But I was only pointing and shooting - f/1.2 does the rest! The later Elvis impersonator/dancing shots - from either up on a chair or low down on the dancefloor itself, 17mm, flash and bounce card. Ceiling was mirrored, so there are crazy patterns on everything which may be ruinous but I kinda like it.
Of course, I can't post any of these here!
31C, wearing a suit, 9-hour day. Loved it.

well done. i'm doing photos for friends in august as their wedding gift, so any advice is appreciated - bear in mind i don't think i've ever even seen a complete wedding album so i'm not sure what's expected!

I shot this one a couple of weeks ago. The lighting was a bit of a fluke, but don't tell anyone.

I skipped last week, so here's two...(Elvis impersonator at the wedding - seemed to shoot this just as someone else fired a flash, which worked quite well...)http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4077/4821991801_95206b7d68.jpg

He was really great. White rhinestone jumpsuit for the first half, powder blue for the second half. His frail old dad set up his equipment for him - "I blacked out in Morrisons the other day - don't tell our kid." I took a lot of photos of Elvis.

Took the D700 to work to document a project we're finishing, started shooting my grandfather from the hip (so he wouldn't get self-conscious, and because I was bored). A couple worked out, I think.
