25 NOV as Second Shooter

[Tragerman]

I was pleased to be able to be second shooter for Song4TheMoon's wedding shoot on 25 November. It is really eye opening to be both shooting and observing. I made a lot of mistakes, but pulled out a few that I liked. C&C is always welcome.

There was a great deal of kindness and joy displayed at this wedding and reception, but the ceremony was mostly solemn, a few nice smiles broke out at a couple of points.

Just before heading down the aisle, the B&G take a decorative broom and sweep away their pasts and then jump over the broom as they head out

Light at this event was a mix of sunlight, and different color balanced fluorescents.

The first and last were taken with the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 and the rest shown here with the 77-200 f/28 IS.

Thanks for looking!

Some nice shots, I like #5. One concern is that several, #1, #2 and #3 in particular in need be straightened.

Overall, well done.

Number 5 is a great shot, well processed aswell as the actal shot itself. If you can capture a moment like that - you have what it takes :)

Thanks Agosling. Good call on the leveling. Funny, that's usually one of my pet peeves...

MagicD- Thanks. I was surprised by the outburst. I think the minister was stating the vows and had to repeat a couple times and someone cracked up, and they all did. I was shooting from the back and couldn't hear it all.

Jamie, I have to give credit to Jenni for the suggestion to use the Midnight Sepia on 5. Although the couple was totally oof in camera, the door frame was quite sharp, so I dulled that down a bit too and added some vignette. Thanks!

Del, I really appreciate that. Something to add to the 'look for this shot' list. :-)
