More from my "Mess the Dress" & Bridal shoot

[FamilyJules]

Original post with more photos: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=788255
We didn't totally mess it, as it was flippin' FREEZING out.. I couldn't ask the bride to get in the ice cold water..... I would've felt too bad, haha.
Anyways, here's a few more from the shoot. It was SOOOO much fun! Again, going for a slight vintage look... hence the PP

Was the tub at the location or did you bring it with you?!?

[blackno70]

I like them btw!

[jeromego]

i love 4,7 and 8. good job Jules. Did you use Rad actions for the PP?

[FamilyJules]

Nope, we bought it and brought it there..... it was quite a project... that sucka was HEAVY! cast iron

I like them btw!
Thanks!
i love 4,7 and 8. good job Jules. Did you use Rad actions for the PP?
Thank you!
Yes, I did...I love mixing actions to make my own recipes... none of these are just one straight action

[c2thew]

nice set. i would find a way to darken the forest a stop or two using a mask to focus the attention

cast iron............ holy moly you must have been tired as F#@$%

[Svetlana]

I love the feel of #4 and the rifle looks cool!! Great job!

[sctbiggs]

like 4 the best. i really want to like 5 the best. Clone out the car, ladder or whatever and even that building if you can. And straighten it using the trees in the middle behind them. Then, I will like that one the best. Would like to see that one done that way... hint, hint.

Edit... looking at it, maybe you could also underexpose the bottom the dress a bit... i dunno.

[Denise Z]

Nice set. The bride has an uncanny likeness to the late Nicole Simpson. OJ's wife.

[sctbiggs]

my quick take on 5.

These are all really nice Jules.....I wish I knew more about these 'actions' that everyone talks about. I do very little PP at the moment and I dont have PS........
Keep up the great work cheers Val

[thev]

me second shot liky :)

[zachwsu]

big fan of # 2 that looks like a really cool editorial style shot...well done on the set.

[FamilyJules]

thanks for the kind words everyone. And thanks for pointing out the distracting BG in 5, Scott. It's been taken care of :)
Val: Do you use PhotoShop CS2 or above? if so, go here and learn more... I love it. http://www.gettotallyrad.com

I'll let everyone know which photos they use. They should get back to me by tomorrow. So excited

[jpochard]

That is dedication to haul in a cast iron tub - but it sure does the job. Nice series. I like #4 the best.

[fiebru1119]

loved #4!

[sexyyoyi]

Great idea.

[jspeerksu]

excellent selection of photos.

[JelleVerherstraeten]

Great idea from the bathtub! And it works very well!

[Goldchips]

Ahahaa, these are great. You might try dodging the forest or burning the bride/groom a tiny bit to add a little pop, but then again the post processing here is designed to flatten out the contrast anyway. Excellent poses too.
