roger_smith4 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 <p>This is from my first wedding in June, shot as a gift to a young couple who otherwise wouldn't have had a photographer. It's a candid shot of the couple walking through thick fog at the top of a mountain where they held their ceremony. I shot it with my Canon 20D and Tamron 17-50mm lens at 50mm I believe.</p> <p>Post processing was fairly light- I converted the raw file to B&W in Lightroom, cropped from 3:2 for printing as an 8x10, warmed the conversion slightly and increased midtone contrast to help the couple stand out.</p> <p>The rest of my wedding shots are linked from photo.net if you click on my name.<br> For inspiration before, during and after my second wedding I viewed Jeff Ascough's site on my laptop again and again. It's a reminder of how far I have to go- thanks to this forum for introducing me to masters of the art.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laura_meyer Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 <p>Laura Meyer Photography<br /> <br /> Date: September 20, 2008<br /> Camera: Nikon D 300 Lens: 24-70 mm ISO: 200 1/125 at f/5.0<br /> Captured with fill flash outside on a sunny day. Korey, the bride, happened to look over a laugh as the image was captured. A small amount of photoshop was applied, color and contrast and a small amount of blur. This is one of my favorite images from last season. September 2008 was 2 years as a professional photographer.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krisheylen Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 <p>This is from the last wedding I attented. Shot with Reala in a Canon body.<br> I have never done any weddings as a hired photog. I did save a wedding once (as a guest) when noted that the hired pro was obviously going to blow it, and he did. I would like to do more weddings, but as a musician I wouldn't be able to guarantee any date for more than about two weeks in advance.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgk1966 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 <p>This was my first summer shooting weddings. I struggled a bit at first, but eventually picked it up. My favorite part of wedding photography is catching the candid little moments between the b&g. In this one, I was experimenting with a backlight to give her the halo look. The million dollar smile didn't hurt.</p> <p>D300, 17-55 2.8 at f4.5, 1/40, SB-800 on a bracket with cheap strobe in the background.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott_jay2 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 <p>This was the my first wedding, I have another coming up in a couple weeks. This was my favourite from not the greatest shoot, although I did learn a lot. I think this one really captures the hapiness and mood of what was a fantastic wedding.<br> Canon 350D, 17-40mm L, Sigma Ef-500 bounced.<br> ISO 100, 17mm, f4.0, 1/15th second.</p> <div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
