Another 1st engagement shoot.

[whoadude]

So I finally got my 40D and did my first e-shoot. Here are some of my favorites, let me know what you guys think!

[djscottwalls]

I think you did a wonderfull job.

[mrandrew]

Great pictures and angles!

i love the lighting in #2

#3 is a nice candid feel to it.

#4 feels like an intimate moment, but perhaps adding a little vignetting will allow the viewer to focus on the couple, rather than catching some of the highlights.

#5 has a perfect DOF for the couple in the background, very nicely done.

#3 I really don't like all the grass/weeds in front of their faces- really distracts my eyes.
#4 has a nice romantic feel to it
#5 nice & sharp on the ring

#2 is my favorite. These are nice in general, but I think the colors could use some tweaking.. It's offputting to transfer from a really warm image to a really cool image.

thats what I was debating on... do you prefer this for #2?

i prefer the "cooler" edit rather than the warmed up one. just my $0.02

[auroraskye]

I agree, I prefer the first edit to the second one. Personally I'd take down the warmness in number 3 and 4 .. Not all the way, because it does give you a feel of sunshine, but it's a bit overpowering.

These are really nice! I really love the ring shot.

In #2, I would have moved closer to the water to avoid all of the footprints. They are distracting to me. Nice image overall though :)

Nice shots! Hey, and stay off my beach and stay out of my business! J/k of course... I'm in Santa Ana so I'm no sea otter

[Joe Cyr]

Very, very nice shots. But, they don't really say engagement to me. I'm guessing these were your favorites and you have the standard couple looking at the camera stuff too (unless they did not want that.) Either way, these are very nice photos.

Great job, I love #3, #4, and #5.

Did you blur #5 in photoshop?

Did you blur #5 in photoshop?

Nope, that was taken with a 50 1.4 at f2.8.

Really great images for a first time, you should get lots more from these.

Hmm...looked just a bit off for some reason.

[Maui Kim]

I really like #4...beautiful.

[santabarbarapix]

I didn't love #3 because of the weeds in the foreground. Otherwise, Excellent! Keep it up!!!

2 and 5 are great....4 is my very fave! Good Job!
