The Pro had agreed that this can be done. Of course, me, wet behind the ears amateur, felt quite honoured with this request. In between posing the wedding group, we chatted a lot. He was using a twin lens reflex (Rolleicord, I think, with a between the lens shutter) and a Metz Flash, inside and outside the church and reception venue. The thing that disappointed me that time was when he told me that he keeps his shutter speed and aperture fixed at 1/125 and f8 all the time. Any correction in exposure is done in the darkroom by his professional photo processors.One professional helping out another professional to get professional results? Regards Yusuf Alexander
