Great shots of the bride.

How do you get the border? Is that a series of PP commands?

Great photos but with some of the photos of the bride, she has a purple tinge to her :shock:

I thought the bridesmaids had some sort of tattoo happening before i realised it was the back of their dress :lol: :oops:

Genji,
i reason I thought they were dentist was that you were only showing their back to the camera.
"we can't shown you their faces because their dentist"
with you pics with the greeb tint in the bg was the any fluro light on at the time?

i am trying a new raw workflow.

catagorise photos in different light conditions

ie. incan with flash bounce/slow
incan with flash bounce/no red eye
Fluoro with flash...etc

that way i can batch process...but sometimes 1 just gets away...

i cant remember the house had natural light with incan in 1 room and fluoro in the next etc...bit confusing.

Good shots. Esp. like the portrait shots. Nice use of ambient light.
Last image needs a touch more exposure I think.
Yeah, mixed lighting is a pain in the a$$. I find gray cards are useful if you have access to the room & can spare a minute to get a shot. Otherwise the groom's collar I find is useful for sampling when the bride is in the traditional dress or the wedding dress is off white.
Any reason for the pink dress? Traditionally red for wedding & any other colour for engagement. I guess she prolly just liked pink.
How do you like the 50 1.8 as an all around lens? Or do you change?

Cheers
Joolz
