austinphoto Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Shawn, some of them are very beautiful! The ones that are blusish, I really don't like much. But the others make me wish I took them. I think they're great shots with lots of feelings. Love to see nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msquarephoto Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 It seems there is a lot of bleeding light flares in some of them...are some purposefuly blurry? Others are absolutely amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennifer_nichols Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Love, love, love these images!! And your post-processing work is great. I really like old-school tones and I'm a big fan of light flares myself. Beautiful work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightbox Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Shawn - I love the creativity in the images. Some of them are very unique and fresh. By chance, what lens(es) did you use for the selective focus images, or was that done post processing? (If you don't mind sharing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephanie_sokol Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 They are beautiful and unique. I love how you pulled the detail of the aqua blue in the shot of the rolling ocean waves!! Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn_starr Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 Thanks for the feedback and love gang!!! Glad you liked the images so far. The selective blurs were shot with a tilt shift lens (Canon 90mm) Tilt shifts are a throwback to the old school medium format stuff. I needed to mix it up a little bit cause i've been getting bored with my regular shooting style and figured i would experiment. Its not a look that everyone goes for, and its really a tough lens to use cause its manual focus and there really isn't any accurate exposure readings...but not too many wedding photogs are using the lens...except the boutwells who always rock and of course pfister photography as well. The light leaks were on accident, but i like that too cause if every image is always exposed properly i'll get bored looking through them...plus i'm too lazy to adjust the camera settings when shooting on the fly;) HAHAH Thanks for looking and taking the time to write, Shawn Starr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucy_wright Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Wow! I am only learning so if I end up half as good as you I would be really pleased. Magic! I really like the strong colours and the way you have used the light, especially when they are clinking glasses. Well done (in a non-patronising way :-)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
