2010 Prom Couple

Hey guys!!

This is my cousin and his girlfriend on the day of prom. Holy neon green dress she had on!! It did crazies to my white balance for sure. I wasn't even sure what to do when I loaded them on the computer. Anyways, I picked a few I liked and did kind of a vintagey washed out feel.

What do you think of the processing?
What do you think of the photos themselves?

It was a really weird day... it just had finished raining and it was hazy and the sun was bright. I used flash and f's of at least 16. I'm sad that I really couldn't get any nice shots with good bokeh, but I didn't want any harsh shadows. I had them in the shade a lot but it probably wouldn't have looked right. What would you have done?

I like these! Nice comp and nice PP!

Good shots, the harsh conditions taken into consideration. I like the left and right ones. The one in the middle I just don't get.

Good work!

I understand the kind of effect you are looking for, but I would be very careful to keep the detail in the highlights as much as you can. I would also recommend looking to Open Shade when you can find it. Take a quick run through what I have to say about the Quality of Light.

Great Shots! But I agree with what Robert_Lay has said about the highlights… It takes away a lot of details especially in the girl's face…

First one is the best for me out of the lot.rest are harsh and lose details in features.Shade can be your friend
