Hiya, I'm wally! :D

I've shot a number of weddings on my own already but am more than willing to shoot as a second shooter for anyone who needs help. I've got a pretty defined style of shooting but wouldn't mind expanding my skill set. Just PM me if you'd like more info or visit the links below to see more of what I have done.

Bump for my new blog!! (WallyDyer.com)

(and updated gear info lol)

[r3t1awr3yd]

Bump for new gear!! (namely the 70-200VR!!)

I just shot another wedding today in Frederick :D

Wally,
I'm also in the DC area (not a pro) ... where are you renting a body for $35? :huh Some lenses are that low, but for a whole weekend... I'd think like $100 for a camera body...

Adorama but it looks like they raised their rates $10 to $45 for a three day weekend. :thumb

[ThatCanonGuy]

Do you go to NY to rent? Adorama doesn't ship, last time I checked.

[r3t1awr3yd]

Well you can tell how many times I've done it and how dismayed I would have been to find that I couldn't!! (without renting a whole week that is).

Thanks for the tip! Now to find someone local...

[ThatCanonGuy]

I had no idea... seemed like you had rented there a bunch of times ;~).
I can recommend Penn Camera, they've got lots of locations around the DC area.

[r3t1awr3yd]

I haven't had to rent yet. I've been using my D50 as a backup (or in the case of this last wedding, a weekend ago, my brother and his gear lol).

EDIT: Wow, it's $50 more for a week of use from adorama than it is for a day with Penn. Dang. lol.

Borrowlenses (http://www.borrowlenses.com/product/nikon/Nikon_D90) is who I use to rent, and they ship. And they're awesome. :thumb

$115 with insurance for a week!! Sweeeeet deal. Thanks so much Kerry!! :thumb

[ThatCanonGuy]

Plus shipping, add another 15 to 25 bucks.

[ThatCanonGuy]

I looked at borrowlenses, they have a D3 for 2300?!? Seems pretty low to me.

[r3t1awr3yd]

New wedding pics added :D

[r3t1awr3yd]

Even more new wedding pics added and gear updated...

[r3t1awr3yd]

Added the most recent wedding (RJ and Andrea). Which I think went pretty swimmingly :D

Nice work here! No idea if I'll be needing a 2nd, but I'll definitely let you know! (if you ever need a 2nd, or just want to go around shooting, look me up)
