On Saturday March 13th, I went to El Centro, CA to catch the NAF El Centro Air Show. I did not know it at the time, but this particular was the 'Kick Off' for the 2010 Air Show season.
The main reason I attended this show, was to catch a live performance by the Blue Angels.
I had seen the Thunderbirds & the Patriots perform but never knew just how awesome a Blue Angel's performance really was until that day.
The show was filled with many other performances & flight demos. For a full break down and more photos of the Air Show that day, please visit my blog here: "AIRSHOW SEASON BEGINS AT N.A.F. EL CENTRO, CA 03.13.10"

Shot with my Canon 5D MKII and a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 Telephoto lens with 2x Tele-Extender.

I was going to ask you in FB but I really need your advice on wedding shots ... Like what's important to capture But she highered a photographer BUT I want to capture things that the highered person won't photo shoot any advice would help .... But one of my ideas was to capture the bride and groom in the distance like blur them a bit with my lens focusing on a true moment ...... I hope you don't mind me asking I really want to be professional.....

Well, I'm no master of wedding photography, but I can tell you a thing or too about comps you could focus on. Most hired photographer try their best to document every moment and to tell you the truth, when people see the main photographer shooting a storm, they will tend to look straight into the lens, which can be good, but is usually a 'no no' for natural photos.

You can take advantage of this by being within range of the hired photographer and catching 'candid' shots. These type of shots will always be in demand. they give that professional look without fighting to keep the guests from looking at you when you shoot them.

The other side to this is that the Main Photographer is skilled enough to elude the wandering eyes of the guests and take the candid shots himself.

Bokeh(Heavy DOF) is always a must for portrait type shots. They really give a dynamic 'pop' to the subject pending the lighting situation
As for other types of shots, extreme close ups or Macro shots of things such as floral arrangements, utensils, the rings, cake, etc are always a great idea.

Other events that you definitely want to master, are the bouquet toss as well as the garter belt toss.
You can use two approaches to this, either shoot the bride/groom head on and in focus as they toss the goods and put the contestants out of focus or vice versa. A 50-85mm range with a low aperture will make for a beautiful comp.
The other way is to use a wide angle or fisheye for some really cool effects, but shoot this one from the position of the contestants at an angle of coarse so you don't get bum rushed while shooting it.

All first dances are critical, Bride & Groom/Father & Daughter/ Mother & Son, etc...
Gotta get the speeches, cutting of the cake and the toast! =D
So much to list, but I think these alone if pulled of successfully will deliver awesomeness at every turn!
Hope this helps Sondra! =D

"Cheers!"
