Great job on the pictures! Especially for your first (paid) wedding! I loved the colors of the dresses in the formal portraits! I don't think I would post a slideshow until I had bought the full version though. The demo mode thing doesn't look very professional.

Very nice - only downside for me was that constant zooming was making me dizzy. No complaints about the photos, though - loved 'em.

Second Wigwam. Good job. A little bit slower for us folfs that didn't pass the Evelen Wood speed reading class!! Photos are really good.

Nicely done!!! Looks alot better than the last batch you did :-)

 

I liked the transitions and the timing. Excellent images. Stay in touch and keep shooting......

Steve,

 

I think the images were very good-I say "think" because so many flashed by so quickly I couldn't enjoy them. The choice of music was so annoying I turned off the sound, and I'm a music lover. All that said, if this music is what you client chose and they want an MTV feel to their slide show, then it's great. For me, I'd like different music and slower transitions so I can enjoy your work.

 

Bravo on the pics, ?'s on the slide show.

I am finding that slideshows are such a matter of personal taste. I showed my family some samples of very professionally done slide shows ($$$)from some other photographer friends of mine and they really didn't care for them. I'm sure you will get some who like your show and some who don't,and I mean the presentation not the pictures.

 

I personally liked it and I'm thinking that knowing it was your first job it might have made a difference. But for a first time it sure was a great effort. The pictures are teriffic. You captured the mood of the event very nicely. I didn't think the flow of the slideshow was too fast. Most people don't want to take a lot of time to look at a slideshow. My own promo show is almost 6 minutes long, maybe that's too much.

 

Anyhow, keep up the great work.

Great job Steve!

 

Make sure to purchase the Showit license so that you don't have demo on the slideshow.

Then send the link to the bride and groom so that they can email it to all of their friends. It

will create a lot more business for you and is well worth the cost of the program.

Might just be me, but the slideshow is a little goofy. Sometimes I get 4-5 images in a single second.. WAY WAY too fast of a transition.

Great photos. I do agree with the above posters that they flashed by too fast and the music could have been better. The photos are great though and that's what matters most.

Steve, Very nice photos. I believe that the timing of your flash show and zooming could use some adjusting but you get a kudos from me for a job well done: )

[lee_crump]

Back off on the zooming. Try some other transiitons like fades or wipes. A zoom is good for a point of focus shot like a ring, but not a group shot.

 

If you are going to zip past some shots do it with the environmental pics like table settings or candles.

I like the intro to the end. It shows the story and the process of how the day went along. I went to a wedding on sept 9th. I had taken pictures that were mostly candid and posed. I was able to show the inside view of the wedding and not so formal.
