Go big or go home

I'm going big today...shooting my first wedding solo. I'll be ok, I know it. But still, I have had anxiety-ridden dreams the past two nights. They are mostly about taking tests that I am unprepared for...urgh, my least favorite type of dream, especially because I did take so many tests through my many long years of education (not as long as some, but more than many). But for this "test" today, I think I am prepared. And if not, well, there is always my good buddy Photoshop. It's like the Cliff Notes of the photography world.

I rented two awesome lenses...a wide angle and a telephoto. Funny, I thought I would be in love with the telephoto, but it's the wide angle that I am actually the most jazzed about. It is just awesome...photojournalistic. I snapped the above photos this morning just goofing around with the lens and though I am not wild about my exposure, I love the story they tell of Phoebe asking me to put on her "shoooz"! That's what a wide angle lets you do...tell a story through the lens, which is what I love to do the most.

Ok, wish me luck! I'll try to post some wedding photos tomorrow!
