Scouting for the wedding

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.

Forum rules
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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Scouting for the wedding

Our youngest daughter is to be wed tomorrow. No, I am not the official photog and have hired the services of a pro friend. (I may try and sneak the XPro1 in sometime and take a few shots.) I was doing some scout work for the Sydney based photographer late this afternoon and was offered a friend's property to use for the wedding photos. This quick shot was taken through the lounge room window, XP1/35mm, in beautiful soft late afternoon light. The young lady is our eldest daughter, not the bride to be. She agreed to be the test subject for a little while.

When the light is right, the little Fuji nails it.

Both captures are very good, I particularly like first, a beautiful girl and those eyes!

Hope the wedding goes well, have fun.

The first one is very, good. The type of portraits I'd love to take myself.
I feel the second is also very good, but with room for improvement. I feel
it is a bit on the bright side and could do with just a touch of more contrast,
as I see it o my monitor.

I think you're correct Zaffs. It is a tad bright. It seems the XP1 tends to overexpose. This shot was compensated by -2/3 stop (from memory) and still is a bit bright.

I’m confused, how can a person, as indicated by their avatar, have such a beautiful daughter :D

That's what most people wonder too. Don't worry, the beauty genes are 100% from Robyn's side. My contribution to our kids' makeup is genius, intelligence, wit, brilliance, humour and, of course, humility... :biglaugh:
