p.1 #1 · Ben Horne congratulations!

For years, our FM fellow Ben Horne has been a creative inspiration on this board and others with his sports photography, and more recently with his magnificent landscape photos. I know Ben does more and more of his photography on large format film cameras, but since he also has been a well informed and more or less frequent poster in the Canon board I wanted to take the occasion to congratulate you Ben with your marriage!

I wouldn't post this here of course if there wasn't a special photographic / videographic element in it. Ben's creativity let him create a Bride's Bouquet camera. You can see how he did this on this youtube movie. the result was today published via DPreview: http://connect.dpreview.com/post/7689725486/gopro-wedding-photographer Hats off for this creative idea and the way you realised this for your own wedding!

Ben and bride:we wish you a long and happy life together! Best wishes from EOSfun

Ben has been an inspiration to many of us!

It takes courage to ditch digital and go back to 8x10 film!

Thanks so much for the very kind words everyone. I just walked in the door from a nearly 2 week photography trip in Utah. You can imagine my surprise when I heard this morning that the video was featured on NBC's Today show, as well as various tech blogs over the past 2 days. I think Petapixel was the first to pick it up, and it spread from there. Needless to say, the bouquet cam worked great, and we were able to capture many EOS fun moments on a day that now seems like just a blur!

We took the GoPro on our honeymoon, but it's probably not quite the video you're thinking of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W07wOlcQh4E

That was a great hike Ben! Breathtaking views, and another example of great creative use of imaging equipment. Respect for what you did. Thanks for sharing!

Ben -- Congrats all around!!

Go Pro would be idiots if they didn't make you their real-life advertising spokesperson. I can just see you doing your own produced videos of "Go Pro Firsts" -- first off road, first baby, first parasail, . . .

Way to go! Much success to you and your marriage.
