Weddings, weddings, weddings...

It's great to be busy with work. I've got so many weddings to photograph at the moment, it's getting rather hectic. As well as shooting more weddings than ever, I seem to be taking more shots at each wedding too. I always thought I was a fairly conservative,  but recently I have realised that I'm shooting an average 600-800 shots per wedding.

Many of these images are duplicates of group shots, taken to ensure that one of them will have nobody blinking. But even so, that's a lot of shots to look through and edit. And when shooting two weddings a week, it's incredible how much extra work this generates.

My Canon 5D mkII is creating a bit of a storage nightmare. Each wedding is creating about 20GB of new RAW images. Everything else about the camera is great. The 21 megapixels mean that I can always crop a good vertical shot out of a horizontal composition and still get a massive image to work with for print. The custom functions have also been life savers when it comes to capturing that critical, unmissable moment.

Only another 2800 photos to work through before bed.
