Wedding Self Portrait on the Beach

[NatDeroxL7]

First Post here

After our wedding my wife and I decided to unwind from the crazyness by going to the beach with my camera and tripod and taking our own pictures. Aside from getting alot of questions about why we were taking our own wedding pictures (we weren't, we did have a professional all day), I got the best shots yet with my setup.

Canon 50D, 24-105 f4L Lens, Heliopan SLIM 77mm super multi-coat circ-polarizer.

I edited all in RAW in Aperture 2, exported from Aperture as JPEG quality 12, fit by 1024. Colorsync profile is one from Ilford papers for my R1900 printer, which I proof/edit everything in, so I hope it shows up okay on everyone's computer.

#4 rocks!!!!

Welcome to the Forum and congratulations.
All of them nice shots in difficult light. I like #3, #7 and #8 best. In PP you might experiment a little bit with the exposure. Here and there some straightening would make it even better (like the light house one).

Looks like you two had some fun :)

I love #4 awesome shot!

Congratulations on the marriage!!

Does the sharpness look on par for my setup? sometimes I feel that its not quite as sharp and clear as it should be, #2 for example. I'll make a 100% crop later and post it

I cannot see any unsharpness - not in #2 or any other one but the first black and white which is somewhat soft - but I thought that was intentional.
