First wedding in many years

First wedding in many years.

This is the wedding that the groom, my step grandson, and the family wanted me to shoot. I did not want to be the primary shooter, because of lack of proficiency and not having a back up camera. As posted recently, I dropped my 50mm f1.4 a week before, and it was my only fast lens. I do have a 90mm f2.8. As it turned out, I learned the night before that someone hired a pro, so I was 2nd shooter. June 3rd here in Maryland it rained, but it did clear for a few quick shots on the church steps. The reception was in a dungeon that they called a fire hall. I tried to do the best that I could with what I had. I wasn’t going to post any photos, considering the clever and creative shots that I see on this forum, however if I’m going to discuss subjects here, you guys deserve to see some of my shots.

And a couple more

Why did you start two threads with the same title about the same thing? One thread is enough. I would suggest moving the other images into here, and deleting the other thread.

This is my first post with pics, as soon as I realized that I had double posted, I tried to delete. I couldn't seem to accompolish it.

I think you can do it, not 100% sure. On the other thread delete the attachments, hit edit post, hit delete, choose the delete button, hit delete again. Or just PM a mod, but probably not worth the bother :)

I think some of those shots have potential, but they all seem slightly over exposed.

All were shot in RAW, if they look over exposed, it is my poor PP. Actually I looked at my histogram very frequently, and the vast majority were right on.
