Jemma and Lucy kindly offered to shoot this set with me ready for some vintage and country wedding themes Roy Strutt Photography have for this year
It was also a test for the new amazing Canon 5D MkIII and its low light capabilities
The portraits were taken in a local church at dusk on a grey rainy day – I used the Canon on auto ISO – AV mode with an upper limit of ISO 12800 – using jpeg rather than RAW to test the capabilities
First some outside work
These were from the church – It was very dim inside the church but the upper windows allowed some directional light – with careful positioning I was able to light Jemma sufficiently – It was extreme though – the images below were taken at f2.8 – f3.2 – aperture priority – Auto ISO gave ISO 12800 – shutter speed around 1/40 to 1/80th – this would have been impossible a few years ago

Hi Roy,Amazing images especially those taken inside.Are you now saying good-bye to flash guns etc?
Hi John – Many thanks – flash is used much less now – I have a small handheld LED daylight lamp to fill in shadows sometimes but a reflector is more useful – High ISO it opens up many new opportunities !
