My daughter is getting married this summer lakeside at a historic Lake Erie resort. Photo opportunities abound and not really being into the wedding scene (i.e. the movie "Father of the Bride"), I would prefer to be taking photos. However, duty calls and it is hard getting shots while walking her down the aisle and giving her away. You bet that I will have my M4-2 nearby and like Didier recommends, will be shooting later in the evening. Everyone who knows me won't think this odd as I'm rarely seem without a camera. The resort community is alcohol-free so I'm not sure how many antics there will be to shoot. Rob McClure Upper Sandusky,, OH On Feb 4, 2006, at 9:20 AM, Didier Ludwig wrote: > Just don't ask anybody.
