I have been asked to do the photos at my SIster in laws wedding.
This is on the back of photos like the ones at the bottom.
I have no kit to speak of, and can only stretch to £220 to buy everything I need. This is basically the cost of the 2 bridesmaids dresses my SIL will pay for for me doing the photos. If I don;t do the photos, I buy the dresses, so really the camera is free (thats my thinking).
So I need everything to do the photos at a wedding for £220.
A little about me. The photos below where taken on a konica Dimage Z10 - 3.2mp and 8x zoom, for those not in the know. My "style" tends to be built around the fantastic zoom on this camera. SO on that note, I was looking at the S9600 by fuji. Big zoom, though manual so a bit more DSLR like, and with RAW mode also. THe reviews I have read rate it, but is there better, bearing in mind the cost. I don't really want a DSLR, as dont have time to learn what to do with it, and couldn't afford a lens to cover the range of the s9600.
I need to buy:
Camera
Memory (enough for the day)
Batteries + CHarger
Case
Tripod
Flashgun (??)
Software (??)
So - the challenge - what would you do with your £220??
These photos are straight out of the camera - I have not edited them at all. I am aware they are not perfect, but am still proud of them, and know (think, hope.....) that with some tweaks, could be really good. Please comment, any advise on the pictures just as appreciated as on what to purchase.
