W/NW wedding bloopers

Matthewm, I have no idea what photos people are going to post to a thread! I opened the thread with a photo that showed rude and insensitive behaviour by some so-called professional wedding photographers/videographers (they shot both). Any thread can have pictures posted to it, at any time, that are NSFW.
Ranchu - the balding guy on the right was also taking video. The whole thing was unbelievable. As a wedding shooter, I was disgusted. Guests spent the entire ceremony gazing at their backs and craning their necks to get a glimpse of the bride and groom. Mostly without success. I had my LX3 and took these pictures because I couldn't believe what I was seeing - and not seeing.

I'm not blaming you at all. And as for your photos that you opened with, they're awful and I can't believe the photographers and videographers were allowed to be there. It's not only rude to the guests, but it's insensitive to the sacred bond being made in a place of worship. If I were the reverend, I would have asked them to step back and respect the guests and bride and groom and record their images from a reasonable distance so that everyone could enjoy the ceremony.

I think if people are going to post a photo like the one I mentioned, it would be nice if they maybe posted a link and said something like, "Click here but it may not be safe for work, etc." Done. The photo is posted and no one accidentally opens it in mixed company. I've seen lots of photographers and one in particular over at Fred Miranda that posts nude images post links instead of photos and it's clearly stated.

Whatever. Your photos are awesome and those photographers are jerks. I'll just remember to not use Rangefinder Forum if anyone other than myself is present lest I accidentally stumble on a photo that isn't appropriate for other viewers.

Very few threads have pictures of women's breasts like that. I didn't say it was a problem. I just said it was unexpected and a warning would be appropriate. It would be the same if a small kid was sitting next to my computer or my mother-in-law was in the room and I pulled it up. It's just awkward and I don't think my idea or request to have a heads-up is unreasonable.

Figures I'd get some negative feedback on that, though...

That's funny :)

Matthew - DON'T READ THIS PLEASE IF YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW IS THERE!
Reminds me of the old joke (sorry for the OT Lynn)

Mother-in-low and grandson sitting on the beach. The boy asks her granny if he could play a little with her boob. "Sure", she says, "but don't go too far away" :angel:
