Re: Embedded Wedding Photography in Postnoon Newspaper

Hi Mostafiz,
I carry with my only one lens, 24-70mm zoom lens with F2.8 aperture. Covers a versatile range.
Sometimes just a prime lens like 35mm would also do.

I would consider myself a fairly serious amateur photographer and have
mainly shot landscapes. My friend saw some photos that I had taken and
asked if I could take her wedding pictures. I told her that I was in no
way a professional and that I could not guarantee the "perfect" wedding
portraits. She said that she knew that and wanted me to take them
anyway. Now I am wondering what type of lighting and lenses would best
suit wedding photography. I can probably think of some things but I just
thought I would ask so that I don't miss anything that would make my
pictures better than they would be otherwise. Thank you for your help.Wedding photography Denver

Good Job! It would have sounded great with a back ground track.
Btw what is that thumping sound in between?

appreciate your work nishant.. Not many have the tenacity to leave their mundane work and follow their dreams.. I guess today most of us dont like to risk what is going on as end up being just another ordinary person.. Kudos to you my friend.. keep up the good work and i believe there will be success coming on its way... Cheers

Karthik is right, it was during 2000 when I was in Yeshwanthpur.

Not exactly sure Karthik. Maybe it was little earlier. I was still in school.

I suppose it was in 2000 that your dad got a cell phone.

Brilliant one Nishant. You've got your heart in the right place :) I especially like the para towards the end where you describe your last 5 years! Very well written.

One of the best i have seen and heard. The girls and their mother and their grand parents look so human... Nishanth I have heard that somebody told u it is not sensitive or violates a few things.. Man they are the words worth not listening... U have captured something which the Juvenile Justice Act, Adoption Agencies, Child Right Protection Commission's, Child Welfare Committees have been trying to tell for long - Give these children a chance to lead a life full of dignity, love and promise.... Kudos to you... Keep the good work going man

Also, I am uploading the video again. This time on Vimeo. Hope the upload will be cleaner there. Once the upload is complete, will replace it here.

Hey Romal, The shaky bit could be due to Youtube itself. When you upload a video, youtube creates different versions of it. Also, I uploaded it in the morning. It will take a while before Youtube uploads get stabilized.
The faceless voice of a stunned onlooker, was an icing on the cake.

Awesome, as always... The Youtube video was a bit shaky at bits... but I guess that had to do with the editing? LOVE the faceless voice... :)

Hi Balu,
This was done on Avid's Pinnacle studio itself:) love it. Windows movie maker is a failure. It doesn't recognize many formats. Also, most Video Editing suites fail to handle DSLR video files which are in .H264 compression quicktime files.

Have you tried Windows Movie Maker and the version of Windows Movie Maker Live 2011? They are very basic but will get the job done for free.
Blender 3D can get the job done but the learning curve is really steep.
You could try home video editing software from Pinnacle and Avid. Also you know about Adobe Premier Elements right? It's a stripped down cheaper version for consumers. It'll do the job if all you need to do are edits.

Thanks Sathya for being that witness and observer of my work for all these years. Cultural and Socio-economic intricacies of our nation interest me a lot too. If you have any suggestions on business models, then please do write to me.
