25-8-07 first look

[tim]

ACR processing only, these are a few that caught my eye on the first run thorough. Shot by myself and Stu, people really do make the best light stands (we took turns). You wouldn't believe how cold & windy it was. C&C welcome.

#1 seems abit to dark to me, but on second look it just might work

#2 love it! good use of off camera flash

#3 I like it, think it might look better if her arms where around his neck?

#4 & #5 - Great emotion and great shadows, very nice

#6 Good detail shot of the engravings

Overall good solid job as always, overall complaint is the images are too small on here to give it a really good critique.

#1 Very moody, I like it
#2 Love this one, very deep & dramatic, great light & crop!
#3 Dam wind. Not bad but the light on their faces seems a bit harsh
#4 Good emotion & love the tight crop
#5 Don't like the composition on this one but the subject is well captured
#6 Great ring detail, well done

Overall, nice job as always can't wait to see somemore!:)

1. This has a very natural feel to it. I really like it. Although it seems a tiny bit underexposed, it works and really contributes to the mood of the photo. Well done.

2. What more can I say than amazing. Awesome use of off-cam flash. Is there just the 1 light in this?

3. Again, stellar, but the colors just aren't working for me in this one. I'd suggest either giving it a little more pop, or give 'er a try in B&W, you never know. Either way, well done.

4. Stellar shot. I love this one. Not a fan of sepia but I think it works here.

5. I'm not sure if I like the "studio" feel to this shot.

6. Nice capture.

To me some of the best images I have seen from you

[tmonatr]

All are good, really LOVE #2 & #4.

[tmonatr]

And #6.

#2 is just awesome!

[tim]

Thanks for all the C&C everyone, and thanks Jenni! A few comments:
1) I have this with fill flash as well, I like this one. Mix of direct sunlight and midtones are a bit low I think.
2) My new favorite photo :)
3) (Jeff) I don't pose people to that level of detail! Agree the colors aren't quite right yet.
5) This was lit by 3 videographers on the helipad, ISO3200 F4 1/25th or so. I saw them doing this outside and grabbed the nearest camera, it happened to have the 24-105 F4L on it. The videographers were pretty good actually, shame the guy's shutting down his business to do multi-level marketing!
6) F22 or so with off camera flash! Just FYI :)

Love them all but #2 is my favorite. The colors, crop and use of flash are wonderful!

[Baadil]

They all look very good. My fav is #4. It seems to tell a story and poses a question. "What was said to her that made her glow?" :-)

[Tragerman]

Fine work, Tim. Yep, #2 is a new 'state of Tim's art' shot. The rim light on the gown pulls you right to the couple even with the sunset countering. What beach were you on? I had the pleasure of touring some of the coast on the south side of Wellington. Incredible rock formations... I hope you know how good you have it down there! :-)

I think these examples are all a bit tightly cropped - but that may just be your style... they seem a little odd on their own without seeing the rest.. I'm guessing there are others that arent so tightly cropped. I think I've seen better work from you... If I had to pick one - number 4 shows the best emotion..

[tim]

Thanks everyone :) lil_miss yes tight is part of my style, and they're the shots that jumped out at me the night of the wedding.

[Grace]

2 is definitly my favorite...by far!

[canotographer]

I love the your tight croppind style.. number 2.3.4.5 are simply excellent!!!

[airfrogusmc]

#1......

[tim]

Thanks all :)

#1's only so tight because I wandered into the room with the 70-200 on my camera and found Stu taking the shot with flash, I grabbed it and didn't use flash to get plenty of contrast. My other camera was in their lounge I think.

[Jimbo24]

Outstanding shots, especially #2...
