1st December wedding

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

1st December wedding

Postby jdear on Sun Dec 10, 2006 5:06 pm

Here is a couple of photos from a wedding I was flown up to Brisbane to shoot at the beginning of this month.

It was only my 3rd wedding as the principal photographer. It was a good chance to test out the new glass I bought and hadn't been able to test due to being in hospital and recovering.

I have narrowed photos down to about 300, and probably give them approx 200 physical prints for them to choose what does on DVD / in the album.

Another wedding next weekend (16th Dec) which Im much more confident about having shot this one in QLD.

Thanks for looking!

Great stuff Jdear!
The last 3 are really great - I'm sure the clients will be more than satsified with quality prints like these. Well done!

Last three are great, and I especially like the clever composition of the last. I'm sure your clients will be wrapt!! What was the new glass you were using ?

What was the new glass you were using ?

It was the first time I got to use my 17-55, 70-200 glass in a way that wasnt 'happy snaps' of the family.

which lense did you find you used the most during your shoot?

In order of usage:
17-55
70-200
50
60 macro

thanks all for your comments!
