Well.. looks like I'll be switching to a k-5 or k-7 when I start shooting weddings.
Actually there is a lot of thoughts that goes behind every 'proper' shot taken; and the object for me is to get the shots as close to reality as possible just like what one sees through the view finder. The one shown previously is an outdoor shot with my lens facing the sun (a hood is a must) and the brightly lit up concrete foreground acts as a giant reflector so I can see the people's face and their dresses clearly if I shield my eyes from the sun (hence the shot). The sun-lit glow on people's hair also make the shot more real and interesting as well. Again, no one is posting for me... (no one pay attention to me because I have the more stealth k-5/chinon combo)
Here is another example of using the same manual focus lens and hot-shoe flash in manual mode. I am sure one can do the same with k-x or k-r or the equivalent Canikon models, but the k-5 certainly makes the job easier (at least for me anyway).
