The sun was at our backs (from the East) the wedding being in March there was no problem with smog or haze so the sun was very strong and all the pictures had a wonderful glow. But, in retrospect I think that you may be right that I should have shot color, but, David wanted B&W and that is what I did. Of all the people that had seen my 8x10 B&W wedding prints, 30 years later you are the first person to ask why not color. Steve Annapolis You shot in B&W at sunrise?
