Some wedding shots...

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Hi all,

I have not been on much lately (I always seem to be saying that) but luckily things are slowing down in December so thought I would kick the month of with some images from one of my recent weddings.

They all have a little different processing down to them, and some are different in the album, this is just the way I like them :) You have to shoot/edit for yourself sometimes as well!!!

Cheers,
Andrew

Some nice shots here Andrew. The facial expressions aren't the normal "smiley" type. Actually, getting people to smile for every shot irritates me as sometimes people just don't smile, and to photograph them smiling means the image is out of character.

Anyway, great exposure, especially the 2nd.

#2 is the one for me, nice shot. To me the colour in #3 does not look right.

I love the first shot of the dress.. The framing draws your attention to the shot as well as it's unique and not a stereo typical shot of a wedding dress. Well done. N#2 is my 2nd fav.

Thanks Ozi.

Of course I have the typical "smiley" shots as well but they never stack up compared to the more moody type shots. The last shot was the groom's favourite, he was not a "smiley" person :)

That is the processing "look" I was going for. It is a very washed out yellow look. Not for everyone's taste :) The Bride and Groom love it and it might end up making the cover of their album!!!

Thanks Hudo. Yeah, this is one of my favourite dress shots so far. I actually spent some time taking photos from outside with the dress in the window (like the second shot above) and then when I was walking back up to adjust something I saw the doors and took 1 shot of this. Ended up being the best with the 5 I took from outside in the trash :)
