Do you prefer to do photography on windy days or days with less wind ?

depends what i've eaten.
sorry.
dont mind shooting on windy days. just the odd concern for camera shake and crap blowing across my lens.makes weddings "interesting"
windy days equals more movement of some subjects.
depends on the shot you want, i suppose.

Wind at Weddings can easily be a great ally, or a pain in t'arse

That said, it's mostly about how the happy (or not) couple are with it IMO - given time, it's something to work with, with no time at hand, it can be more of a pain than rain

(wind AND rain though, a winning combination :lol:)

Wind certainly is to blame for some unexpected moments in photography:

Imagine a 40D, with grip and other bits of hardware 60' up on top of a pole: it can get a bit hairy when it is windy......

Soz Jumbo - I forgot you are the 'pole guy'

Yep - I can fully understand why you aren't so keen on wind now !!!
