I took a short jaunt to Seattle to attend a wedding, and for the occasion I had my new DSLR, a Nikon D40, delivered ahead of me. The bride had asked me to help out by taking candid pictures, which provided the perfect excuse for a new toy!
I learned that it’s a bad idea to take on a new challenge (wedding photography) alongside new tools (opened the camera box a few hours before wedding preparations started). Nevertheless, it was certainly educational, and I learned a lot by overdoing it: snapped 850 pictures, 250 of which were completely unusable, and tried my hand at individually post processing the other 600.
A smaller subset of the results are up on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/relgar/sets/72157606411864781/. Tips or feedback appreciated; I think I used to get better final results with my point-and-shoot!
