But this is not a problem, as it was great timing. I saw some of the bride's friends trying to take a shot, then proceeded to take my own burst of images.

This is not photoshopped, which many people think it is. If you look at the bride's face and body, which is facing the friend taking the photo, you will see it lit up with the burst from her friend's flash.

Just thought I would share it with you :)

There is something very magical about this picture. It looks like it should be on the front page of one of the big mags.
Great timing, great composition as well.

Indian weddings are sooo colorful. It's almost a crime to use B&W! :D

I normally prefer Colour to B&W, but in this image B&W works better IMHO

Edit: Somehow the colour looks accidental, and the B&W looks intended in my eyes.

now that's what i'm talking about! the red from her Saree is brilliant! excellent... and of course sticking with the thread title, the flash capture is quite a trick too ;) and can even notice some of the flash reflection from the sequense on the brides outfit...

much much better :) colour photo's feel happier to me (imo)
