Like many of you, I listened in to the Zoom call with Engage Summits that was held a few days ago. The intentions for the call were wonderful, and the 15-member panel provided phenomenal insight. I did, however, leave the call wishing there had been more time for the conversation to evolve, so I began reaching out to some of our friends in the industry. This call with wedding planner Fallon Carter, is the first of those conversations.

Ohio Opening for 300-Person Weddings

As reported on Cleveland.com, Ohio is open for business and may be the go to spot if you are looking to host a large-scale event in the near future. But don't let the headlines fool you, this isn't a free for all. Ohio has specific restrictions in place as it plans to allow weddings to match the same capacity numbers it has also set for restaurants. Having wedding restrictions that pair with the state’s restaurant and bar guidelines means no dancing and mingling between tables.

Metering 101 with Richard Photo Lab

Metering 101 with Richard Photo Lab
Lance Nicoll 0
Spot meter, incident meter, external meter, metering modes, bulb-in, bulb-out...? Whoah. I've probably seen dozens of tutorials and articles on how to meter, and the variations on technique can be confounding for new photographers both digital and film. Here's the thing: metering is essential. Whether you are a digital photography who spends their day in studio metering for strobes or a natural light photographer running around in a million different scenarios on wedding days, you need to get it right. And yes, film has latitude (some more than others), but if you've shot enough film you know the vast difference between a properly and improperly metered image.
