The ceremony was lovely and a few teary moments when Sophie Lee got a little stage fright in front of 120 people. After the ceremony we took a few shots at the Botanical Gardens which had been closed down to traffic due to the Darwin Festival but we pushed our way past security and got in anyway.
This photo was taken with an off camera (camera right) SB-800 shot through an umbrella. Because of the wind we had Ashleigh hold the stand. The only problems with these umbrellas is they tend to catch the slightest breeze. The shot was triggered using the Nikon CLS and worked a treat until all of the sudden the master stopped triggering the slave. We swapped out the master for another SB-800 and kept shooting. (Gotta have a backup) Will have to perform some diags on that SB-800. We've also decided to buy a few SB-900's as Master units. SB-800 is just too clumbsy when it comes to adjusting remote settings. Anyway here is the shot. We tried some other stuff I may post later down the track.The advantage of shooting the sunset shots so close to the reception is we were able to get back for the cake cutting and still take advantage of the after glow, which nearly always is prettier than the sunset itself.
