Do you have what it takes to think like the pros?

As the ones responsible for capturing a wedding day in images, we photographers are under a ton of pressure. To help you next time you’re asked (or even hired) to assume the role, we tapped ten exciting bridal pros—all chosen by our sister magazine, American Photo, as the best of 2012—for their techniques and strategies for bringing a smile to the face of even the scariest bridezilla.

In-Camera RAW Processing
You don’t need image-editing programs to process RAW files if you have one of the many DSLRs that allow RAW-to-JPEG conversion, with image editing, right in the camera. (Most current Canon, Nikon, Olympus, and Pentax models have this ability.) Before your conversion, you can make many standard image edits, such as white balance, highlight and shadow adjustment, saturation, contrast, cropping, JPEG profile, and so on.

Cameras increasingly allow for more elaborate fixes and modifications, too, such the miniature effect or perspective correction in shots of buildings. The great part is that the processing leaves the RAW file untouched, so you can make multiple versions of the same image.

A selection of images shot with Leica's interesting new digital rangefinder

Just after announcing the M Monochrom black-and-white-only rangefinder in Berlin this weekend, Leica CEO Dr. Alfred Schopf looked at me with a subtle, confident smile: "If we had done the proper market research," he said, "we probably never would've made this camera."

Does a digital camera without color images make sense here in the 21st century?

Depth Bomb
Q. My Fujifilm FinePix S4500 has some amazing capabilities, but when I set it to program mode and tried to dial in more aperture options, I found I could only get one or two. (I could get f/11 with some contortions.) According to the fine print in the manual, the aperture is controlled to some degree by neutral-density filters, not by actually changing the lens opening. Doesn’t this limit our ability to control depth of field?
A. It certainly does. But what it really limits is the ability to set shallow depth of field. As we discussed in our April 2012 Tech Talk, the small sensors in compact cameras provide vast—often too vast—DOF. The maximum f/3.1 aperture of your S4500 is the full-frame equivalent of f/18 in terms of DOF at any given subject magnification; f/5.6 will give you the DOF of about f/32. Apertures in cameras of this type are so small that a true f/11 would essentially be a pinhole, and the resulting diffraction would seriously degrade images.
