Wedding Part 2 (DUW)

[Alpha_7]

As requested here are a few more of the shots from the wedding. I have a natural repore with kids, and don't they just love the camera, I apologise for the excess in kids photos.

Well done Craig! The 1st and 2nd are GOLD!! I think it'd be reasonably easy to clone out the ashtray. It would enhance the first image to brilliance!

Geoff beat me to it, but I'll repeat #1 and #2 are great pics. Well done. I thought you said you werent happy with your results....

Noice!

The first two are great, but the next three seem to be a bit underdone to me (exposurewise)

Craig,

VERY Nice!........... Did you use a Lightsphere?... & what lense(s) did you use?

As per your request, a quick clone (I had that in mind for the final product.

(This version is quick and very dirty )

[Geoff]

Better

Craig, you've followed the first rule of wedding photography: Always photograph kids, they sell like hotcakes.

2nd one is lovely craig
good work for your first wedding, i think wedding shots are very stressful a lot of responsibility and variables attached to that task i keep away from them

Craig,

I really like No 2 and the last one.

Craig, well done on what is probably the most stressful photographic assignment you could have. You don't get a second chance to re-shoot. Some great shots there and the 2nd version of number 1 is a beauty

[shutterbug]

great capture

3 and 4 can be brighter...maybe open up your lens more?

The hand image, ring does not seem to be infocus, maybe focus on the ring?

Nice cake

Thanks for the feedback

Phillip - Well if I was selling them I'd sure have plenty of kid shots to sell, they just loved the attention

Wendell - I'm glad I wasn't being relied on for the shots, as they had the 'pro' there, but I still felt the pressure and urgency.. I'd say had I reacted or the zoom been half a second quicker on a number of occasions some truely excellent shots (atleast in my mind) would of resulted. During the ceremony you really have to be on your toes.

Slider & Alex - Thanks for the comments

Shutterbug - Can I ask what actually looks dark in #3 and #4 ? It isn't the first time I've heard the comment, on my LCD the brightness seems fine, for their faces, or do you mean the background ? It was night in these shots and very dark, I think I tweak in PP the background to go even darker to bring the faces out more.


On the hand image, your right the focus isn't quite there, believe it or not, this was a candid, I didn't actually ask her to pose (I should of, but didn't think of it). I just saw her showing my wife the ring, and 'pulled the trigger'.

Hi Craig,

I mean the background......but if the background was dark, it is dark can't do much.

No worries, it was very dark as it was out in an unlit garden area, I'm glad I asked though, as I kept wondering why people though the faces where exposed ok. I appreciate the feedback as I'm a big fan of you wedding shots.
