You might be surprised what we love! Share
Yes, we are wedding photographers but our photographic interests extend to many different types of picture taking. You can see some aerial photographs here if you're interested but the subject of this blog entry is ducks!
My interest in photographing birds started as a child but now has more to do with decompressing from work by walking along the Charles River near our home. It's something that Karen and I do year round and more so in the winter when we have more leisure time.
What does this have to do with wedding photography you might ask... well, more than you might think.
Have you ever tried photographing a common duck while its flying? Not so easy. Photographing anything but especially weddings has a great deal to do with timing and anticipation.
Anticipation is only possible with a good knowledge of your subject. Timing is about knowing when to press the shutter. Photographing anything that's fast moving improves and refines your timing. However, I'm not going to tell you that spending time with ducks improves my ability to anticipate at weddings!
Here are a few pictures where timing and anticipation are everything.
