Yep, lots of the same stock wedding photos going around. I have some of my own. Kyle's wife seated in the crowd actually took my favorite one of the day.

If I want piles and piles of titty and ass shots, I'll call random uncle. Everything else, not so much.

Last wedding I was at, the photog team was walking around with some big glass. a couple 200+mm lenses and some shorter ones obviously as well, like the 24-70 L

The high speed camera, that's used by Mythbusters, is in the $6K to $10K range. There are cheaper alternatives, but you won't be getting that quality of video.

Thanks. I've been wanting one for a bit when I accidently slowed down some clips in some kayaking video I was making. I had a contour HD filming at 60fps and I slowed it down to 30fps somehow. When I saw that i made another video in slow motion. Looks pretty cool but I'd love to do it at 1000fps.

I did see a canon that looked like a DSLR camera that did it at I think 3000fps or would do it in HD. Ran about $1000 which is about hte max I'd spend.

I'd get in too much trouble with those mythbuster cameras. Those things are fucking sweet as hell. Oh my god/allah/darwin/etc the shit I'd try and film with that.

There are some affordable high speed cameras put there:

It can do high speed but at the expense of resolution.

I can modify my android to take 30+ FPS, but that doesnt mean, those pics are worth a damn, and definitely does not mean i will be running out to purchase a Casio camera.

BS - sorry, you can't memorize the entire guest list and know exactly what is going on. If you do, you must only shoot a few weddings a year for people you know. That's all I was saying was random uncle sometimes get the shots that the couple will love the most.

It's clear to me that you hate photographers and you hate pictures.

Actually I love GOOD photos. I really dislike a lot of computer editting that is done to photos beyond some of the necessary clean up stuff. Especially poorly done HDR. If you are using HDR to enhance the light without distorting the photo, great. If you are making the photo look like a drawing or fucking with the colors, bad.

I don't hate GOOD photographers either.
