There are a few of the getting ready pictures from the wedding I posted yesterday. I was so ticked that these turned out so well. I metered for the light side of the room and the dark side (when I switched to the angle of the shadows. At one point, I forgot to switch back to the light side and overexposed some of the images a total of two stops, but they looked great! It was so impressive to have that kind of latitude with true black and white film. At one of the last weddings I did (but haven't gotten the film back for) I wanted to take a bunch of candid shots of the guests talking and enjoying each others company, but I wanted to shoot it film. So what did I do? I exposed for all angles of the area I was shooting and there was about a one stop difference from the shadier side of the area to the brighter side. I am really liking to overexpose everything at one stop just as a given for protection(because underexposing is like the worst thing you can possibly do), so I metered for the shadiest area and exposed over that one stop. That means that all of the images I shot of the guests were either one or two stops overexposed depending on where they were standing and what angle I shot it. Those will be posted at a later date and I hope they turn out, but I thought I was pretty clever on that one :)
