One of the challenging things about photographing a wedding
or similar ceremony, is that like most of the audience you’re standing behind the action. The bride and groom (or the bar mitzvah or
whatever) are facing the priest/rabbi/whatever.
You can get partially around this problem by placing your back-up camera
(you know, the extra camera you must have if you’re going to shoot a wedding or
any one-time event) beside the alter, behind the officiant. Use a tripod or mini tripod. Set it to remote, and you can trigger it with
your second best learning tool. You have
to set your remote timer to the maximum, or it will turn off the remote
function. On Nikons, this option is
located in the C4 menu (Monitor Off Delay).
For the best results, use the widest lens you have, set the aperture
high in enough to keep the desired area in focus, and switch it into manual
mode so it won’t hunt for focus if the subjects are moving. You can also slave a flash off the second
camera if needed.
