And what was interesting and different was the wedding was held on Santa Monica Beach (California) at sunrise which gave fantastic light and with the Pacific as a backdrop. I shot it PJ style in B&W on 35mm. Steve Annapolis on 17/5/00 3:56 pm, Martin Howard at howard.390@osu.edu wrote: > >> Interesting.
