Plus, here’s a few more shots taken in various brides’ homes:

Bruce and Shelton,
Great show! I always look forward to the next installment and they never fail to delight.
I am curious as to why Shelton likes the 85MM f1.8 so much for wedding photography, say, in comparison to a 90 or 105mm f2.8 lens.
The Tamron 90mm f2.8, Sigma 105 F2.8 and others are superbly sharp and a 105mm offer a little more compression which I would have thought would be an excellent mid range choice as a portrait lens.
Is it because of the faster aperture or because the larger aperture creates greater background blur on the 85mm?
By the way I am told from a Japanese friend at Tamron that the word “Bokeh”, a Japanese word, is not pronounced as in the Canadian “eh” but rather a soft “e” as in the sound of the “e” in the word “bet.”
The term bokeh can be used for a number of descriptions including one who is “fuzzy headed.” 🙂
Great shows,
Barry
Shelton (and Bruce),
I thoroughly enjoyed episode 104. As someone interested in wedding photography, I have found the last two podcasts very informative and helpful. Your podcasts is one of the bright spots of my week, and without a doubt, has made me a better photographer. Thank you so much! 🙂
Truly excellent podcast: informative, motivating and at the same time entertaining. Shelton, your tips are really invaluable and the main reason for that is that you seem to be a totally instinctive photographer.
Bruce thank you for producing this podcast and to both of you: keep up these highly interesting conversations.
Best greetings from Switzerland!
Truly enjoy going through your posts ! IT is great
thanks from paris
