SUBMIT PHOTOS FOR WEDDING PHOTO OF THE WEEK- HERE (New Week)

 

<p>This week we are starting a day late due to the Easter Weekend. <br>

This thread is for submitting recent (up to two weeks) wedding images and one will be chosen for discussion for the rest of the week.<br>

It is much like the Photo of the Week that is featured on photo.net The POW (photo of the week) is not a contest for the best photo of the week but a photo chosen for discussion/critique.<br /> On this thread you can post ONE image - 700 pixels in width or less. If it's a link, I'll have to delete it and you can resubmit. Josh is going to look into if we can do 700 pixels width and to make it more fair - also 700 pixels high max...<br /> Anyway, a little technical data would be good as always. No theme.<br /> Monday (THIS WEEK TUESDAY) late afternoon - the thread will be closed and one will be picked for a week long critique. So - if you are brave enough - you may be picked and subject to discussion. This could be enormously helpful to newcomers as well. You could learn an awful lot on everything from composition to lighting etc..<br /> The image will be picked at random. This is not a contest nor a prize.<br>

YOU MAY WISH TO OPT OUT OF THE 'PICK' FOR THE PHOTO OF THE WEEK Learning thread with full critiques... If so - just state it in the details with the image.<br>

So - START POSTING ;-) If it goes well, Josh will create a permanent gallery for this just like he does for the monthly themed contest.<br /> Once a random image is picked for the week - it will be posted on Tuesday (This week - Wednesday) . Remember that we want good solid critiques - not "great image" or "This doesn't work for me" - but more detailed. We will want to hear what works and why - what does not work and why. Please don't critique these submitted images - wait for the Photo of the Week to be posted.</p>

 

<p>Ok, I'll try this. Please don't be to harsh as I am still learning....<br>

This year will be my second and a half year, all tought by books and forums. Thanks for all the wonderful people...<br>

Effects added in LightRoom. Lighting is a mix of natural and bounced flash. Camera was a D40X with a Tamron 28-70 F2.8 and a SB600.<br>

Don't remember the rest of the info. Hope you like it!<br>

<p>Nikon D300 with an SB-800 bounced off a low ceiling and a Demb flip-it about vertical. The room was dark and what there was of a background was distracting and ugly. Bumping up the blacks in LR got rid of what was left of it. f5.6, 1/50th. Not sure if she closed her eyes or blinked. Wish I had a little more of dad in there, but the focus is supposed to be on her.</p><div></div>

<p>Hmm, I don't remember the technical stuff, although I can look when I get home. Probably was taken with either a D200 or D80. I *think* it was a 50mm (or 85mm) prime lens. This particular shot was actually a candid while I was looking for angles to take a few "informal" type formals from. Natural light on a cloudy day. In fact, it rained for 15 minutes right after their ceremony, and then remained overcast. </p>

<p>edit: ok..the attachment didnt go in.</p>

<p>shucks i really dont have the technical stuff on me right now.<br /> done around 4 PM, canon 5dm2, i dont even remember the lens i used, and it was only a couple weeks ago.</p><div></div>

<p>Shot with Nikon D80. 18-135mm lens. I don't quite remember the setting the camera was on. Manual for sure. I had to sharpen it a bit...Oh well...here it is.</p>

<p>It didn't go through!!! Here's my photo.</p><div></div>

<p>Here's one I shot Saturday. 1/160 at f13, ISO 200 on a Sony A700, JPEG capture. Had a Sony 56 flash on a light stand off to the right about 30 degrees from me aimed at the guys for flash fill, connected with a dedicated sync cord that's about 10' long to maintain TTL and HSS functions. I could have triggered it wirelessly with the Cybersyncs, but I was also doing some HSS shots at the time and needed that functionality. This was about 5 minutes before the guys had to head for the ceremony, so I did not have time to rearrange the two middle shorter guys with the two taller guys on the end. If I had, I think I would have had a better diagonal alignment of their heads. Next time...</p>

<p>Sorry, image did not load the first time...</p><div></div>
