    A Baptism

    Today I was asked to photograph a Baptism for our churches web site. I was not allowed to use a flash, and I was to photograph the Baptism from the balcony. I first spot metered using my sekonic hand meter and came up with the reading of 1/50 sec @ f/5.8, ISO 8000.

    So I then manually set the camera for 1/60 sec @ f/5.6, ISO 6400

    Camera: Canon SL1 (100D)
    Lens: EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L

    The Baptism @ 214mm


    Presenting the child at the Alter @140mm


    Presenting the child to the congregation @ 100mm

    I really like the 1st shot, Tom. It's a nice composition and interesting to look at. It might be a little better if the guys head hadn't been crop off?

      I prefer the second and third, with the first, apart from the head as Andy mentioned, the candle seems to cut the image in half

        Thanks Andy and Stan. The point of interest was the child, unfortunately the Acolyte got in the way, only leaving me a narrow window to get the water being put on the head. Wasn't interested in any other adults in the shot.
