Wedding 16-12-2006

Very good job! I like them all

Those look great. Some of the best I have seen from you in my oppinion.

you did a great job...

Thanks everyone! This was probably my easiest wedding so far, they were a fun good looking couple, it'd be hard to take bad pictures of them

Good job. I have sat here looking at them for the last five minutes or so, trying to critique them, and there isn't much to say. The only "minor" thing I notice is in #6, part of his face is in her shadow, maybe have his head more forward or something? Again, like I said, it is really minor. And the grass looks a little yellowish on my monitor here, but that could be my laptop monitor, so I would not worry about that much.

Thanks Toogy Nothing much I could do about the shadow on his face unless I had an assistant with a reflector, and then it'd probably affect the lighting in some other way I can't predict. I could fix the shadow on his face if I wanted to, but not concerned myself.

Tim, how are you converting your black and whites? they're sweeeeet.

These are all done within RAW. Some are done using CS2 bridge, desaturating then using the calibration tab to tweak it. Some are done using CS2 bridge, using its automatic B&W feature, again tweaked a little by hand. I also add a vignette most of the time, and change the contrast curve to strong.

Not too much I can say, either. #'s 2, 5 & 7 are my favorites. 8 is cute, but I keep staring at where his hands are... The B&W conversions in all are great, but I especially love her skin tones in #1. Glad you had a good time. Would love to see more.

Is CS2 bridge different than Adobe bridge?

CS2 bridge = bridge in Photoshop CS2. CS3 bridge = (you get it)

Might post a few more later on, I have heaps I like

I don't use the Tamron at all any more, it's on a shelf in my cupboard. I got the 17-55 because I found the Tamron occasionally missed focus, which has pretty much stopped happening with the 17-55.

Nice series for sure! Good looking couples are soooo fun to photograph but your eye for beauty is neccessary to take good shots which you obviously display here. On number 6 I'd like to see a crop similar to a crop you did of someone else's black and white photo posted earlier this week. You know which one I am talking about? I think that would add a lot to it.

You mean more like the 16:9 aspect ratio? I might be able to take a bit off the top but I think that's all, I couldn't get it that far down and keep the bits I like in the image.
