So I have finally had a chance to recover from a wild and crazy wedding shoot that went down over a 2 day period. It was an absolute blast and even working with altitude sickness making my head want to explode. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I hope to soon be able to share some images from the wedding, but I want to give the couple time to go through all of them. Final keeper count for the 2 days of shooting was well into the thousands. Now that is not all individual images, but those were keepers plus in camera duplicates.
As a photographer shooting with digital film I always take in camera duplicates. Back in the film days this was a common practice, and one that I was taught and will always do. You never know if a shot might be corrupted during the writing process to the card. Either by the camera having a glitch, battery dying, camera dropped, the list can go on. So my advice, always take more than one shot if you can. That’s the nuts and bolts of it.

Hey Josh,
I really enjoy the drama in the first shot and sepia tone in the second. Old machinery just draws you in and begs to be photographed. I finally see what you mean by in camera dupes. I have come across an occasional digital anomaly in my D300 where one of my photos at random could have a digital line shoot through an image. Only leaving me with the ability to extract the unaffected JPEG. Hard to get duped when shooting active wildlife however. Had it ruin a star trail and can’t seem to reproduce it. Either way, all the best and I am looking forward to your wedding photographs. Glad you could work through the altitude sickness. All the best.
Lovely B&W images. Do you take them into Color Efex to apply a filter and then into Silver Efex to finish them off?
Hey Alistair,
For the first one, yes I did use both. I used Tonal Contrast in Color Efex and then dropped it into Silver Efex for the final Sepia. The second shot was all done in Silver Efex.
Thanks for asking…
