Hi guys…
Great show. Always good advice!
Let me ask you something…
Where you guys are located? Do you go to semminars or teach classes?
Would be great have a group with “hands on” with a real wedding.
What do you guys think about the idea?

If you get the chancde to see Kevin in person, don’t miss it. He’s very funny and entertaining. We had him at our state association convention to speak. He also does a great job at actaully teaching, rather than just “showing.

Guys,

Couple of quick tips for your listener who is about to shoot a wedding. (i) Try and arrange to meet up with the couple and visit the venues at around the same times they will be there on the big day. You will get a real idea of how the light is likely to be and you will be able to take a few test shots and go through the pictures list so that there will be no real surprises on the day. I have done this a couple of times when asked to shoot weddings for friends and it makes everything a bit more relaxed on the day as both the photographer and the couple know where they are going and what to expect. By having already tried your shots, the photographs take much less time on the day. (ii) Make sure you have more than enough memory card capacity. It is surprising how many shots you can take on a shoot - we all remember Michaels story about the pro shooting bursts fo 4-5 shots at a PR event to avoid half closed eyes. (iii) Even though it is a hassle take more smaller capacity cards rather than one big 8GB card just incase there is an issue with corrupt cards. This doesn’t happen very often but has happened to me and is rather embarrassing. (iv) Try and at least appear relaxed and like you are enjoying yourself - this will give everyone the impression that you really do know what you are doing and they will take much more notice of everything you say.

Another great show guys.
When asked about equipment, I don’t think Kevin said anything about camera bodies. Do you know if he uses full-size-sensor or APS-size cameras? Thank you.

Hi Scott and Michael,
Just filled out a five star review in iTunes:
I am listening to you show now for about a month. Still got 4 to go until I catch up with the current shows. I think I will have some withdrawal symptoms if I have to wait more then a few days to listen to the next show ;). Anyway, your show is an absolute must for any photo enthusiast!
