Documentary Wedding - Wynyard Hall<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

One of the really great things about being a photographer is that you get the chance to attend so many weddings. It’s a real honour and privilege to be part of a couples’ special day. What do you do if you are attending as a guest? I find it really hard not to go to a wedding without a camera – I really enjoy the chance to blend into the background and grab those candid shots that really\u00a0capture\u00a0the\u00a0guests and the bride and groom.<\/p>\n

My “big” camera stays at home and I opt for a small Fuji X-T10 with a couple of lenses. I’ve just bought a 10-24 wide angle for it, and with the wedding being at Wynyard Hall, I couldn’t resist having the chance to give it a try. One of the great things about using a mirrorless is that you have similar controls to a DSLR without the obvious in-your-face size. That means you can take the opportunity to capture much more casual, candid – documentary style shots. I also love being able to set the camera to monochrome so I can see what the shots will look like in black and white. I did spend a lot of time on the floor with the camera using the wide lens to capture how epic the venue was. Fortunately the X-T10s pop out screen really helped.<\/p>\n

\"fujifilm_xc_50_230mm_f_4_5_6_7_ois\"<\/a>The kit was well and truly tested in a variety of lighting situations. It turned out the weakest link in my kit was the 50-230 zoom it really struggled to focus when the lighting became challenging. I think I’m going to have to add the 55-200 to my shopping list as a replacement. Overall I was really impressed with the performance of the setup and while the lower light shots were a little more noisy than I get with my 5D the Fuji still captured what was a really enjoyable day, with\u00a0an amazing couple at an epic venue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
