May 22 2005, Daddy wishing his girl good luck.

Only a flower girl can outshine the bride and get away with it.

I know why pros carry two cameras with a wide and a long lens.

I was way in the back with a wide lens mounted and saw this shot coming.
I think I set a personal-best lens change record here and grabbed this shot.

Once again, I love available light. 70-200VR wide open 200mm hand held ISO 800.
Camera on HSC mode, so 400mm 35-equivalent. Lovin' it.
Nikon owners...beg, borrow or steal to get the lens. You won't regret it.

The lower shot is 1/15th f2.8 no apologies for a bit of motion blur here.




Nikon D2x
1/60s f/2.8 at 200.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
