Steve Gallow - A Year in Photos

With this blog I have begun a journey to improve my photography skills. My goal is to take photos everyday, and post my favorite photo from that day on this blog. So far, I have learned a lot, and try to share my experiences. Many of you have made comments on the blog, via email, or when you see me in person. I really appreciate all of them. I learn a lot from each of you. I hope that you will join me in my journey, and help me along the way. I have so much to learn.

Week 25, Day 176, October 17, 2009, Wedding Cake in Founders Room

I took photos today at a very small wedding. It was a special wedding, and very beautiful. The people are all very special, and I'm glad that I could be a part of it. I wish the bride and groom a wonderful life together of many happy years.

The wedding took place in the Founders Room at Cornell University. The room has many stained glass windows, and a large table with glass on it. I really liked how the windows would reflect off of the glass on the table.

Lessons Learned:

It's very important to be at a wedding site early to take some test shots. This helped me with the lighting of the photos for the wedding.

Photo details: Exposure time 1/60 sec, Aperture f/4, ISO 800, Focal Length 22 mm, 35 mm equivalent focal length 36mm, Lens Canon EF 17-40mm, handheld.
