Photograph and Camera talk

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.

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!
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.

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

Today I want to give you a look at my Rheinmetall Weltax. I got the cam from my grandfather. He bought it around 1958. It´s a medium format camera use rollfilm and produce 6x6 negatives. It´s real work to shoot with, because it´s full manual. The difficultest part is estimate the distance. But if you make it right, the camera produce wonderful pics.
