1. First thing that we should do is preparation and checklist
- Choose the “A” Team. How many photographers will there be?
- For their big day, always ask their request for the pictures. What type of photos would they like? Mostly formal group portraits? Or mostly candid shots of the couple and their guests?

Because i am a Canon user, but i want to share this favorite lens to other nikonian all around the world. I had ask some friends who are an Nikonians about what they are favorite Nikon lens.
This is my articles base on their answers. And they had give me what the strong point of their favorite lens.
1. Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens - Sharp, Great DOF control, Fast focus. This lens is so versatile (and inexpensive) that I think everyone should own in addition to all the lenses that they already have. Being a very fast lens, it enables me to take pictures in low light (sport/action photography) that I otherwise wouldn’t be able to do.
2. Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor Lens - is one of the Nikon lens used by every professional photographer every day. The other lens is usually a wide zoom on a second body. This is Nikon’s latest professional workhorse lens. Sharp at every aperture. Sharp with tele converters. And the VR helps you achieve that sharpness. Great dof! Gorgeous out-of-focus rendering, perhaps as good as any existing Nikkor.

Learning photography not enough only from an internet, many peoples have to read the books and practice what they read with taking their camera and shoot.
There are many books to sell now on internet and some of them is greats. I would like to give you an advise which books should you have to learning photography.
1. The Digital Photography Book, Volume 2 (Digital Photography) by Scott Kelby
Like Mr. Kelby’s best-selling first Digital Photography Book, this book is a gem. Every page is a single tip, clearly explained and illustrated. It’s like sitting next to the best photographer you know while he explains what gear you need, and when and how to use it. No matter what brand your camera, what level your experience, or how big your budget, you’re sure to find this book useful, but there are some good tips but the book is incredibly short. I went through the whole thing in about 2 hours. He gives some good advice on using a flash and setting up a studio for about 1/3 of the book. The last 2/3 are filled with photography tips showing pictures and then explaining how to get the same picture. Most of the advice I found was pretty basic although I did learn a few things here and there. This would have been a good book if I was brand new to digital photography. It’s well written and his tips are good but I was looking for something little more in-depth than this.

One of the famous view from Bali island is a sunrise or sunset photos. Even if you traveling to everywhere around the world, your travel photo album will not complete without token the sunrise or sunset photos.
After I took many pictures of sunrise and sunset, there seem quite disappointing on my pictures. Then, i kept to learn and learn again with many different technics to shoot the sunrise and sunset photos. Now, i found there are not that difficult to photograph the sunrise or sunset.
Always have a plan - Sometimes wonderful sunrise and sunset shots can be taken spontaneously without any forethought and it’s often the case that the best ones come out of planning. This little bit plans that you should need to think before take the photograph:
