A Xpan Wedding

[Freshjive]

Hi guys! I just got my Xpan a week ago and tried it out on a wedding last weekend. I love the way the Xpan lets me see things in a different way. Anyway, here's some to share. Shot with Tri-X @ 1600/D76.

Portra 400VC

Nice work! The XPan is really effective in this situation. I really like the color stuff.

 

[Freshjive]

Thanks Dave! I wish I shot more in colour too! I think the camera is more suited to colour.

Very nice.

Nice work! The XPan is really effective in this situation. I really like the color stuff.

If I may make a suggestion: one way to make more effective B&W with the XPan is to avoid cluttering the frame. That is, don't fill the entire frame with stuff. Colors sometimes provide "distraction" and it can work effectively that way, but not B&W.

I think you're right, interesting suggestion (whenever I'll have an xpan I'll remind about it) !
Congrats Freshjive for both sets,
ciao

All interesting shots. I like the b/w as well as the color. I found it fascinating to see the amount of electronics at a wedding.

Thanks everyone for your kind words! Very much appreciated!

Thanks for the great suggestion. Will try to make a cleaner B&W image and see if it works out.

Thanks! This was with the 45mm lens. The 30's just too rich for my pockets!

It took me several years before I was able to afford a 30mm kit. If you think the 45mm is impressive, you will be astounded by the 30mm.

Excellent images. I'm almost tempted to face the horrors of wedding photography once more.
