lara, I think that's outside of our selling area
I never said you had to sell it to me! Just send one up.
Any photographers in here?

So originally I was going to photograph a wedding and I planned to bring on a second shooter. Well as it turned out they needed someone to film it so I stepped in and my partner became the primary photographer. Mind you this was my first time ever filming a wedding and editing any type of video of this size in post. My only equipment was a Cannon T1i and a 70-300 lens. I realize some parts are dark but light was very limited as the time was at 7PM.

altspace, did you read the thing about taping one of the lens contacts on the t1i to film with the aperture wide open? Also, what FPS did you film at? Sometimes playing with slowing certain things down (like the very first part with the ribbons blowing gently in the wind) can result in a very elegant shot.
Cool vid though, I'm sure they love it.

This isn't bad at all. You're off to a good start.
- clone out the flash reflections
- find better positions for the flashes. Mess with height, distance, and angles. It's like geometry or trigonometry .
- I usually point my flashes towards the ground just before it hits the rims and let the light bounce back up to the car
- position the flashes so that the spread of light covers the areas you're going to shoot.
That's all i can think of for now. Keep posting and we can all pick at your photo I guess.
I was going to clone out the flashes, but there are huge hot spots in the photo and I didn't like how the insides of the wheels are lit on the left side of the photo. I need to try this again when I have more time to mess with everything. This was too rushed. Thanks for the affirmation though, I'll definitely try this again.
Thanks man. Sure does. If it leads into more work than I sure will make the investment on equipment.

If you're going to do video, you'd better get a 7d...
Next cam. My tax return just came in.

Why would you want to do a thing like that?!
Because I was in need of an upgrade from my failing 20D and the 17-55 is a piece of s*** lense. Honestly. I really didn't like it, blown out highlights, nothing particularly special about it aside from IS. By contrast, I'm SO MUCH happier with my 50D. And I'll deal with the 50 f/1.8 until I get the capital for more glass.
