I love my wide angle lens, and I love getting up on ladders and shooting down on people to see if I can get something fun. I have other examples in my portfolio that I like, but I think this one is my favorite because of the dress and colors. The morale of the story here is “embrace distortion” and if at first you don’t succeed with it, try again. Eventually you’ll get one that you enjoy!
This shot was taken with a Canon 5D Mark II using a EF 16-35mm USM lens and a Canon 580EX II. My assistant held a gold reflector off-camera to help keep the body from being too dark and to help make the gold on the dress pop. My camera settings were 1/25 sec at f/7.1 using ISO 100 at a focal length of 35mm. My post-processing consisted mostly of standard Lightroom and Photoshop CS4 adjustment layers with the finishing touches coming from Nik Software’s Color Efex and Sharpener Pro.
