Judge Joe Brown- Cheap wedding photographer
Recently I saw this YouTube video. It is funny (apologies to the bride & groom who do not share my sentiments).
I have a few comments (of course):
Mal-Wart (intentionally misspelled) may have quality processing, but I would not be caught dead printing my photographs with them. My reputation is attached to each & every photograph. It would be a shame to have horrible proofs of my images in order to save a few bucks (like this photographer did).
All my photographs are processed with the Canon software (this makes a huge difference but is rather slow), and calibrated correctly for printing. My proofs are printed on professional paper.
If wedding photographs are shot with bad lenses, and are out of focus, you can’t blame the processing lab though.
The Canon Digital Rebel is a consumer camera. One of the differences between consumer & professional cameras is the ability to shoot in low-light situations. The digital processors are SOOO much better in the professional bodies. Otherwise, why would I spend the uber-bucks for a Canon 5d Mark II body (not including lens) instead of shooting with the Digital Rebel? The Canon Rebel is an entry level camera. It does a good job in bright light. But I would never shoot it in low-light situations.
I am equipped with full-frame professional cameras because they are better built, can handle low-light, have super-fast processors, and better exposure meters. When I walk into a low-lit church where no flash is allowed, I do not worry. My cameras are capable of amazing photographs at 3200 and even 6400 ISO.
Was this lady a professional, or amateur? I think someone should answer that question based on several questions:
Did the photographer act professional?
Were the photographs good?
I’ll let you answer those two questions. I have my opinion.
