And, even though I&#8217;ve been wielding a camera for something like 30 years, I&#8217;ve still learned something from the programmes that have focused on subjects I would normally shy away from.<\/p>\n<p>The second programme in the series concentrated on celebrations, with tips from wedding photographer <a href=\"http:\/\/emilyquinton.com\/\">Emily Quinton<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Channel 5\u00e2\u20ac\u00b2s website has some tips to go with each programme, but they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t exactly match up to the advice in the programme itself so, here are the tips from the\u00c2\u00a0second episode:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be prepared: if you&#8217;re prepared and you know what doing, you&#8217;ll get a better picture&#8230; and the artistic side of photography can be\u00c2\u00a0used to good effect\u00c2\u00a0at a wedding.<\/li>\n<li>Let the guests relax: stay back and\u00c2\u00a0let the bride and groom have time to themselves; move around, look for special moments in the day&#8217;s events, use wide shots for atmosphere, and zoom in for a more intimate shot; avoid using flash to stay unnoticed &#8211; and natural light photos can look really special.<\/li>\n<li>Watch out for special moments: of course there will be classic bride and groom shots\u00c2\u00a0but\u00c2\u00a0It&#8217;s really easy to be so involved in the wedding that you miss the images that capture the atmosphere of the day. Always\u00c2\u00a0look to see what else is going on (that&#8217;s why many wedding photographers work with an assistant) and watch to see\u00c2\u00a0what&#8217;s Grandma doing? Is Mum crying? What&#8217;s the flowergirl\u00c2\u00a0up to\u00c2\u00a0(mischief in the aisles?). Listen too &#8211; it can help to identify\u00c2\u00a0special moments &#8211; for example, if someone is being funny, a punchline will usually come, followed by laughter.<\/li>\n<li>Include the venue: capture the place and the context as well as the people &#8211; and it tells a nice story in the album<\/li>\n<li>Be fast and fun: group shots can be tricky &#8211; so work quickly to set up the shots, make people laugh and try and take pressure away from the wedding party and their guests by using no more than 3 minutes for each group, with 1 or 2 ideas for settings. Think wide and zoom in too.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you get\u00c2\u00a0the definitive shot &#8211; often one picture defines\u00c2\u00a0the wedding (usually a portrait of the bride and groom) and it can help to take the bride and groom away from crowds of guests in order to\u00c2\u00a0capture these\u00c2\u00a0shots. One technique is to take pictures as they are walking along -\u00c2\u00a0this tends to provoke natural reactions &#8211; but consider other approaches too &#8211; shoot through flowers for a different angle, or frame the bride and groom with flowers around the edge of the scene &#8211; always using different angles to vary shots.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week I wrote about Channel 5 Broadcasting&#8217;s &#8220;How To Take Stunning Pictures&#8221;
