The weather has already been MENTAL up here in Halifax. My street was a total river - I watched the recycling bins make their way down the hill...
Then thunder and lightning - exciting!
As ever, "it's all about the light" and perhaps you just need more! In an ideal world, nice bright sunshine to really make the droplets 'zing' but under a bit of cover so the exposure is even.
As said before, it's going to need a fast shutter speed to freeze those droplets.
Might sound daft...
There's been stuff all over the internet about this. Am I too much of a conspiracy theorist or do you reckon MS *knew* it might make a mess off Google and therefore drive a bit more traffic in the direction of Bing?
I really hate intrusive photography in situations like this and would never like to think I was 'getting in the way' or in any way negatively influencing the events of the day.
The trouble is, there are some weddings where as a 'tog you actually DO have to push it along a little or nothing...
Don't be afraid - chuck it into manual and expose for the background, fire the flash at the subject and use exposure comp for the rest. Letting the camera do it is no fun at all!
Without being facetious, what's it got to do? All rounder, macro, sports, portraiture?
I'd grab a 20D and spend the rest on lenses. If very lucky you might grab a used 17-70
Sigma which is an awesome lens.
This thread WILL degenerate into the usual chaos but my vote is that if you're sure, go for it. You might want to set some expectations with the bride and groom so they know what they are getting in terms on experience - they may want someone to confidently stage manage the day like many...
