If you've been wondering why the diary hasn't been updated since December 2010, it's because I have a new site now.  You can find me at photosbyjoshua.com.au.  There you can see my new work since this final posting, and follow my updated blog.  

This site will remain live for anyone who wants to peruse through the archives of Dtales.  You can check out tonnes of great pictures, taken over the last 7 years or so.  Dtales was a blast for me, but it's time to move onwards and upwards.  My new site takes advantage of new platforms for viewing online content, and new technologies for content delivery.  It's slicker and more functional.  It's also more personal, more beautiful, and a more direct way of communicating with you.

Warm regards,

Joshua Winterson.

It is with great pleasure that I bring to you my final wedding of 2010, the nuptials of Alison & Edward. They had been referred to me by previous clients of mine who were friends of theirs.  The ceremony was held inside Trinity Chapel, the reception nearby at the Treacy Centre.  I always like to end my year on a high note, and it couldn't have gone better than this one.  It helped that the weather was perfect, but honestly, Alison was such a glowing bride, that I think we could have shot this one in a thunderstorm.  Don't you just love her entrance with her dad?  What fabulous drama.

I set myself the personal challenge of shooting this ceremony completely without flash, strobes, or any additional lighting. It was difficult, given how dark the altar of Trinity Chapel is. I was not asked to do so, but I felt, given the solemn and quiet nature of the ceremony, that flash light would have been too intrusive. I also chose to wear my quietest rubber-soled flat shoes, which allowed me to walk around in the background in complete silence. The icing on the cake was my 200mm f2 lens, which can shoot from a great distance, and get razor-sharp images in very low light.  Another important lens that I chose to bring along to this assignment was my 17mm tilt-shift, which can perform optical magic in the surprisingly vast space inside Trinity Chapel, rendering part of the scene out-of-focus, and high-lighting selected other parts within the frame.
