First Wedding Shots - 300D.

[MattyB]

note: these AREN'T the shots that 2 pages of thread were wanting weeks ago, i STILL haven't gotten those photos back from my mate who's camera i used.

heres a wedding i went to yesterday, it was a friend of a friends.
i took about 1gig worth of shots (300ish), then narrowed it down to 125 for her to look through and choose.

i've only processed 4 so far, and they were random, these AREN'T the best shots. i'll be updating this thread everytime i process one i think you'd like to see.

the first, (bride, alter boy, confetti) i liked because of the boy's face, as he looked up at the confetti being thrown. - he had a girl behind him with an umbrella, and the bride had a guy behind her, i photoshopped them out, and added some more confetti to her left.

and the 'studio' looking shot, was taken on a patio infront of a lake, i photoshopped out the background, got rid of the white ripples from the water showing through her vail, and cleaned it up alot, - still isn't perfect, i'll spend a few more days on it.

these are resized and Q-dropped with windows power you 'resizer'. the processed ones are about 1.3mb and ALOT sharper, so just bare that in mind.

sorry, heres 2 more, in the other thread i said 'the first', which wasn't right, but you know what i was talking about (confetti, bride, boy, grass).

it was hard because this was completely unorganised, i only found out about the wedding on the day, and because my friend was going to be taking photos with her toy camera, and trying to make a album out of it - i offered a hand.
they obviously aren't expecting professional photographs, but i was 'the' photographer.

They seem dark to me. In the first one, his face is very underexposed. You got some good moments though!

[MattyB]

it could be my monitor - do they ALL seem dark?

[dsze]

No. The first just appears to not have enough light on their faces, especially his. The 2nd looks pretty close and the 3rd might be over exposed in a few spots. The last seems a little dark.

[MattyB]

yeah, i think i agree.

the first and last were taken outdoors without flash, hrm.. maybe a little dodge will be needed

thanks, i'll be sure to post other, because i need the advice
