Canon 1ds II. 70-200mm IS lens, window lighting.On Saturday I got to try a couple of High Key bridal portraits. While shooting the pre- wedding portraits at our brides home, I saw the opportunity to grab this shot. Lit only by the light from a large window and shooting high iso, this capture was made in the "Hail Mary Zone" but thankfully image stabilization on Canon L series lens helps reduce the possibility of camera shake even at very slow shutter speeds. I remember pondering whether or not to spend the extra $1000.00 for the IS feature but I can now tell you that it is worth every cent. And any future lens purchases will be images stabilizer enabled if I have a choice.
Working in available light as we so often do, the added versatility of IS lenses is just amazing. Being able to work with available light adds to the comfort of our brides, due to the less intrusive nature of available light photography as compared to the more traditional strobe on camera techniques often used by wedding photographers. Secondly capturing the true ambience of the wedding environment certainly helps record the emotion and feel of the wedding day. Getting a real feel of how the church looked inside as the bride and groom exchange vows has got to be preferable to the stark and often unflattering light from an on camera strobe unite.
