June is a very popular
month for weddings with its mildly warm days, cool nights, and a beautiful
blanket of summer green draped over every inch of ground. Well, at least that
is what June looks like in Arkansas!
With that said, I
have decided to make June "Wedding Month"!
For the entire month of
June I will be posting tips and tricks for photographing weddings, quick and
easy editing options, and also some great links to make planning a wedding a
little easier. (Well, as easy as planning a wedding can be.)
To kick-start this month
off, here are a few tips on photographing an indoor wedding in low light without
a flash:
- Shoot in RAW if your camera allows.
- Use a high ISO.
- Use the lowest aperture that your lens will allow.
- f/2.8 or lower is recommended.
- You could also shoot in
aperture priority mode.
- Use a slower shutter speed.
- If shooting by hand, do NOT set your shutter speed
lower than the shortest focal length of your lens. ex: My lens is
18-55mm, so I use a shutter speed of 1/20 of a second because the next
lowest number on my camera is 1/15 of a second. This will help reduce
camera shake.
- Use a tripod if able.
Here are a few websites
that go into more detail that will help you better understand each of these
points:
