Groomsmen

Here is another favorite of mine.  When I got to the house to shoot the men, they were playing pool volleyball.  I had never really considered that concept as a pre-wedding sort of event, but I wanted to try to do something fun with it.  After shooting a bunch of pictures of them playing and when they were getting out of the pool, I had them line up on the other side and had them jump into the pool.  For me this image is a fun representation of the concept 'Taking the plunge.'  

In order to stop the guys in mid-flight, I shot at 1/1000 of a second, f5.6 at an ISO of 1250.  While most people think of high ISO capabilities dominately in the context of low light situations, I will commonly use high ISO in the situation where I have an acceptable amount of light, but need a very fast shutter speed.

And this is another picture of the groomsmen, in a bit more formal attire.  This is just one of several images, but I like this one because of the top of the volleyball net is visible adding some dimensionality.  A fun bunch of guys.
