      Camera people, I'm in need of a new point and shoot. My friend has this Panasonic LX5 which in my opinion takes excellent pictures but as I looked it's been on the market since 2010 and I was wondering if there is there some better/other candidates? Nothing bigger than LX5 though… 🙂

        thanks a lot for your honest opinions guys…i´ve just made up my mind and told her, that i´m not doing it...at least not as the main shooter...somehow "too risky" for me since i really don´t want to fuck up and kinda ruin their day with shitty pictures (don´t think this will happen, but if, i´m fecked as well!)...

        so yeah.

        i told her to let some pro doing the main "work" and i´ll do the rest...think she´s fine with it!

            you could be right 🙂 and i´m also feeling a bit honoured that she did ask me to shoot at her wedding…

              Finn wise choice. Besides it is always more fun to be the second shooter. It will give you the opportunity to really show your creative side. Because you will not have to rush and you won't be carrying the burden of missing anything. I shot second for a couple of years before I decided to shoot weddings by myself. It usually is a very long chaotic day.

                Finn.. maybe (just a thought) you could possibly try to get in contact with the main shooter if they hire one and just talk to him about how to take photos there and ask if you could help assist him.

                  If you want something special camera-strap wise:

                  I think I have to try to make something like that (natural, veg-tanned for me though) tonight.

                  Seize the day and don't you cry.

                      Indeed 🙂 Ironically, I just learned to make such braids last week (I've made wallet reins, armbands and other crap like a crazy person the last days.. 😛 )

                        Right choice. You shouldn't shoot someone's most important day if you don't feel comfortable doing it.

                        In a similar situation I was assisting a wedding photographer and attending the wedding as a guest. And I just had my own camera with me.

                        These are the images.

                            What kind of photo related blogs/sites do you guys frequent? I think it would be cool if we shared a few links.

                            http://www.japancamerahunter.com/

                            –> basically a guy in Tokyo who'll buy you any freakish camera you can think of, I like his "what's in your bag" feature and all the camera pr0n

                            http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/

                            –> interesting real world reviews, rather leica-centric

                            http://kenshukan.net/john/

                            –> Tokyo based film photographer with interesting book reviews and nice insights into darkroom work. the same guy who does http://tokyocamerastyle.com/

                            http://www.petapixel.com/

                            –> my favorite for upcoming camera releases

                            http://www.youtube.com/user/DigitalRevCom

                            –> best video reviews out there imo, not for everyone as these guys are absolutely silly and often overdo it... I still prefer them over most serious reviewers

                                  Thanks. Pics are from Helsinki Finland. I don't have more than those 12 online, I tend to keep my photosets small.
