Yeah, just saw that it’s the 1st of may and I just completely got really, REALLY nervous!
its 28 days left till I finish my degree and I have so so so much left to do and prepare for the degree show, I know I am on top of it, but I cant help but get a little freaked out!
Next week is very busy also, and what I think I am most worried over. Thursday the 7th I am the photographer of a wedding of 2 dear friends, wednesday I have an interview in the college for a postgraduate in Teacher Training, Monday evening is the wedding rehearsal which I will go to to prepare for Thursday, lighting, locations etc. All this and im still on crutches…
Im sure everything will work out, but I am a worry wort, always have been and I can thank my mammy for that! cheers mum! :p
Right now tho, all I can do is prepare for everything, heres the list:
For Monday evening: (Wedding Rehearsal) Prepare cameras, charge batteries, charge flash, bring extra batteries and notepad for measuring ISO and locations etc.
For Wednesday: (Interview for Higher Diploma in Teacher Training) Mount Portfolio of 20 pieces, choice of old fashioned way or in a PDF format, I think I prefer the old way! more reliable and wont run out of battery! get sketch books and photographs ready and archive everything in chronological order.
For Thursday: (The Wedding Day) prepare all gear, charge batteries have everything ready the day before here is the gear I will take:
Canon 450d x 2
Fuji S9600 Back up Camera (so 3 cameras in all)
Flash
Monopod + Tripod
Lenses: Wide-angle for large group and full church and reception views
50mm portrait lens
Telephoto lens: 28 to 135 and 70 to 200
some manual lenses for detailed shots macro etc.
Step Ladder
Umbrella
Flash backing cards
Elastics
Plasters
Selotape
penknife/multi-tool
Comfy shoes!
some food
Also ill take the crutches in the car for when I need them… Actually I have no idea why I am posting this here but there you go!
Now I have one question for all you style divas out there, can anyone suggest what I could wear as the photographer of a wedding? I have to wear trainers because of the foot and I have a lovely black pinstripe pance and black shirt but is that too plain? I was thinking of then changing into a dress for the reception as I wont have to be running around as much later in the evening.
Anyhow, any feedback or help would be appreciated, I am fairly useless when it comes to fashion! :p
