1st time at a church (baptism)

[gravy graffix]

I hope I did ok for them, it was family, and you all know how that works... :)

I had no idea what to expect and how things were done at a baptism. Where they were standing wasnt exactly scenic...I wish they could have done it up front like the posed pic.

shot with a 70-200f4L hand held at around a 30th sec.

I like #4 which is made by the expressions on the faces of the participants.

Good photos were they shot with the ambient lighting Darryl

Ditto! The look on all of their faces is great, especially the girl on the far left. She looks emotional and happy. #2 is nice as well, but it's a little noisy.

thanks... there were 8foot Fl tube lights for lighting over in that area...very poor lighting.

Never been to a baptism to photography (witness a few as a guest and as a parent but not photographed) so I don't know what you need to capture really but looks like you got the key moments.
The WB seems off slightly, they're a bit on the yellow side to me.
A few seem soft or noisy. Otherwise good captures.

Thanks Sue, Soft is prolly due to hand held f4 @ the 30/sec and Neat Image processing.

The Flour. lights they had were very yellow and tan walls with brown trim... ugh. WB nightmare. Unfortunately that is really close to what it looked like in person. i tried to set the wb better but it seemed to blow out the white shirts...
