Fireworks started before the honeymoon

This is a picture from the wedding I did this weekend. I have not had time to do any processing to it other than a little cropping. C&C please!

Gorgeous. perfect shot. what kind of lighting did you use? just bounce flash?

It was the most amazing moment. What had been a somewhat dull, and very rushed wedding. (They were not willing to give much time for photography) This was the reception. It was at a very small venue, very cramped for space, right after we walked into the reception hall we heard these explosions. I looked out noticed it was fireworks, grabbed bride and groom by the arm and said get out here now and kiss eachother and hold it. We thought the fireworks had stopped so they started pulling away, then this one burst happened.

I used 430ex pointed right at them. I probably would have gotten a little better result if I had bounced it, but there was not really anything to bounce off of.

Can't wait to see this with PP completed.

Interesting window design! Jail or zoo?

I love the capture though. I wouldn't be able to think if a moment like that was happening.

Thanks for the response; neat shot again! It looked like a direct flash to me so I was just wondering if that was true. I have a 420EX and I always hear of 430EX's--do you know the difference between the two? Is it significant?

It was like an iron fence, that if fireworks in the BG. I wish that fence was not there, but there was no other place, and no time to find another place. The idea, the poseing and the shot happened in about a minute.


I don't know much about the 420ex, but I am sure some of the others here can tell you more about it.

What a gorgeous shot!

If any of you are interested in taking a stab at it please do. I am not good with PP all I plan to do it get the skin tones a little better looking and maybe try a black and white version.

The moment captured is great. Background fireworks adds to it. Skins tones not natural. Too much flash on the faces. A bigger or original picture may be needed for any pp attempts.

I know the flash it too much. It was a cramped space so I had to be pretty close to them, and there was nothing to bounce off of.

I keep getting this error message whenever I try to upload pictures. I wrote several times to the web administrators but got no reply so far. Any ideas? Mods?

I am not sure what that means. I hit post a reply as usual and try to upload images, which takes for ever and ends up with that error message.
