WEDDING

Could that be 'offside' CathyML? lol

It was nice to see, it's what Engand is all about!

Clarence House released 3 of the formal wedding photos taken by Hugo Burnand. The one with the bridesmaids and the pageboys----lovely shot of the couple but I would have binned it thanks to pageboy Tom Pettifer; but I wouldn't have taken it until he sorted himself out. But, it seems Mr Burnand said this was an informal photo and quite rightly too. For me, it's a photo of a page boy who happens to have the royal couple near him. Having a chandelier hanging in front of the portrait behind them seems a novel idea too, though some seem to crop the chandelier out leaving him still headless. 

Photo of the Duke and Duchess standing on their own----why oh why with all the people there helping couldn't a single one of them---if not the photographer and his 5 assistants---straightened the pleats out on her dress right side?

Sorry if I sound too picky but for me, the occasion demanded better; perhaps the best  are yet to be seen, and I wait in anticipation of the proper photos.

For camera fans, the camera Mr Burnand used for the wedding photos was a Hasselblad H4D-50; a 50 meg pixel medium format D-slr; body only you should get change from £20,000 and with the 35-90mm kit lens, you've moved up to near £25,000.

A good choice, but if I'd have gone the lower budget route, I'd have opted for a Nikon D3x as I already have the lenses for it. 

Great show!

I have to say, her sister, pipa looked very beautiful too.
