Some of you might think this was a bit wreckless, but I picked up a D300 and a few lenses on Friday and shot the entire wedding on Saturday with it.
Can you guess which lenses I used? Hint - No sharpening applied.

I'll be doing a full blog post on why I switched tomorrow.

Full Version: My first Nikon Wedding
Welcome aboard! You'll love it over here...
For some reason I'm thinking the switch from Canon to Nikon wouldn't be as hard as Nikon to Canon. I don't know though. Anytime I pick up a Canon I feel like an amateur again!

+1 Feels like everything is backwards.....I always end up thinking "Now why did they do it THAT way?!?"
Nice pictures Sean, is that off camera flash on the second to last?
I'm guessing the 85, a 24 and the fiddy
@Pagie: Thanks. My first camera was an old Nikon film camera - N4004. Glad to be back
@Ginger: Thanks, that photo was made with natural light and the Nikon 70-200 VR
@Eric: Good guesses, but here's the shocker. Other than the closeup, everything was shot with a Tamron 17-35 and 24-75. I compared an older Nikon 28-70 with the Tamron and the AF was much faster. Not bad for a few hundred dollars worth of lenses.

I can't possibly describe how happy this makes me. Ever more proof that it's the person behind the camera not what they're holding infront of their face. Great job on the wedding!
