I’ve been traveling a lot this year and thought I’d post what I usually bring for wedding.

Bag: Think Tank International V2.0. I was little afraid about carrying this with me since I’ve never travel this before. It fitted overhead without any problem.

Camera

Canon 5D Mark II : great for formal portraits, reception photo
Canon 1D Mark III: fast, AF is fantastic

Lems

Canon 17-40 4.0: for outdoor portrait. I usually overpower the sun with lighting and don’t need 2.8 at that point
Canon 35 1.4 : stays 5D Mark II 90% of the time. very sharp, great image quality
Canon 85 1.2: for lowlight ceremony
Canon 70-200 2.8: stays 1D Mark III 90% of the time. can shoot journalistic style with this and that’s way it’s my favorite lens
Canon 15 2.8 fisheye: maybe used 3-4 time but it’s great capturing the whole venue

Lighting

Canon 580 EX II (x2): one main, one for back up.
Nikon SB 26 (x2): mainly use for reception dancing photos
Elinchrom Quadra: great for outdoor portraits. It’s about 4 times brighter than 580 EX II
Canon sync cord: just in case
Canon CP-E3 flash power pack for faster recycle time
Pocket wizards: Transceiver (x2), Mini mini TT1, Flex TT

Computer: Mac book pro

Also carry 2 light stands, umbrella,westcott apollo softbox in small tripod bag

Gear that I no longer use

canon 24-70 2.8: too heavy
canon 24-105: great focal length, image stabilization is great but I like prime lens a lot better for some reason
canon 100 macro: it just too many lens to carry
canon st-e2: never used
flash bracket: never used
gary fong lightsphere: I don’t know why I purchase this

These are all the gear I bring for wedding and I trust them to work 100% of time.

Watched Shamu show “believe” today. Last show that we saw was at San Diego sea world and it’s been always my favorite show. Kids like it and we really had great time. I have some time left till Texas stars vs San Antonio Rampage hockey game and quickly post some of the images I got today. By the way, Shamu express is my son’s favorite ride and I think that’s the only ride he’s allowed in san antonio sea world.

iPhone | San Antonio Wedding Photographers

I’ve been trying to optimize my website so that it can be seen on an iPhone. Since an iPhone does not support flash, my flash gallery wasn’t shown on an iPhone. Today, I just installed wordpress plugin called “WPtouch” and my site is now can be seen on the iphone, blackberry, or any smart phone out there. Did you know that even apple iPad does not support flash? Anyways, please check out my site on your mobil devices www.soobumimphotography.com

San Antonio Engagement Photography | Ilana & KC

Soobum Im — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 17:36:47 +0000

It was my last engagement session in Portland before I move down to San Antonio Texas. Supposed to rain today but we had some break here and there. Most of photos were just available light. With overcast weather , I decide to make whole background turn blue by changing white balance setting to “Tungsten”. Quick 40 min session with Ilana & KC and there wasn’t hardly anyone out there even though it was Sat afternoon.

I didn’t bring long glasses tonight all of them shot with 1d Mark III + 70-200 2.8 is.
