First try as a second photographer...

I contacted a PRO, he let me shot as a second photographer and this is what I have . In the celebration I used a photogenic strobe as filling light (barelight-no diffuser, no umbrellas). I think they come out good but let me know what do you think. I just want to learn and make sure I am going in the right direction.
I have learned everything what I know in this forum and reading books that many of you recommend. Thanks to everybody.

I'd pay money for those.

You're well on your way my friend.

well done, I like it too, compositioin, emotions, color... really nice pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

great job!! I'd also pay for these!

GREAT GREAT GREAT!

Here is one more during the ceremony. I shoot these ones using my 75-300. No money yet for the 70-200. But also 200 mm would be not enought for the ring shoot. Thanks all of you for your comments.

I really like your pictures in post 7. Nice job on all of them - they look very professional; clear and sharp. Great job on the backgrounds as well.

Stacie

I wish my first (or second or fifth) looked this good - great with lighting, composition, and timing!

They are all excellent shots, so lively and dynamic. Great timing and the lighting is perfect.

Excellent job, I am sure they and teh 'PRO' are happy to see these

I agree, those look very well done.

The Bride helped a lot. She really likes pics. She was so happy with a free second photographer taking some casual and "journalisitics" pics. The PRO was doing most of the time formals and I tried to stay out of his way most of the time trying to get some special moments. Some times I just called the bride, told her to move in some way to improve my shot a fired. I have not seen the OINKN PRO pics but sure he got really good ones from this lovely couple.

I would like some comments about using a strobes with barelight at the reception. I was using a photogenic (some times I use my AB400) take some measures around the light and far away with the light meter. I set the power for f4 close to the light, and then star taking some meaurements everywhere. Just wondering how the pics look. Just want to make sure they looks professional. . Still need to learn more from the PRO , thats why I want to know whta the PRO's do. I also shoot a gray card to make sure I have the right color when processing my RAW files.The PRO did not care about me using this extra light, he says is to much gear to carry in a hurry day

Thansks to this forum I can learn every day a little bit more.

Great photos for any photographer, particularly one using a 75-300!

I have seen many solo pros who aren't fit to clean your photographic shoes!
