BEST WEDDING SHOT OF 2008 - Photographers with UP TO 3 YEARS EXPERIENCE - ENTER HERE

[sheer]

<p>This was from my first wedding. I saw the bridesmaid lie her head on the bride's knees at the end of a long evening of dancing and knew it would make a nice mood shot. Shot with canon 5d, 50 f/1.8 at 1/100s, 1.8, iso 1600 (raw). I left the original tungsten white balance and just pushed the contrast, added a vignette and desaturated a bit to get this effect.</p><div></div>

<p>Taken with a Nikon D80, Nikkor 17-55mm lens. ISO 250 f 2.8 @ 1/160 sec, no flash.<br>

This is from the last wedding I did earlier this month. 2009 will be my 3rd year as a paid photographer. <br>

Photo was taken while the couple was riding in a horse drawn carriage, I love how natural it looks, a quiet moment between the bride and groom.</p><div></div>

<p>Canon 40D F/2.8 24 MM Iso 1600. Flash Fired Post Process in Lightroom.<br /> My third wedding as a second shooter.<br /> This image makes me think of the marriage more then the wedding itself, half perfect half imperfect and always giving.</p><div></div>

<p>First wedding, everyone keeps asking me to do weddings, but im still not sure if I should go for it or just stick to portrait photography (which allows me to be anal about lighting verses on the fly wedding snapshots, i guess that makes me a control freak...lol)<br>

<p>Third wedding, 24mm ,1/125, f4.5, ISO800. There was this cool looking chair in the dressing room, so we had to chill out for a sec before this beautiful lady tied the knot. She laughed, and I took that picture too, but this was right after that moment... I was going to ask her what she was thinking, but I didn't want to spoil her moment.</p>

<p>Just as the outside photo session began the first major storm of the winter season hit. Twenty minutes later with all cold, wind blown and crabbie, I begged one more shot with the Brides maids and Groomsmen. I asked them to imagine being their favorite character from the movie Pulp Fiction.</p>

<p>Last wedding of 2008 (10/4/2008). Two years experience.<br>

Camera: Pentax K10D, Manual exposure, 1/60s, f5.6, ISO 250, focal length 23mm</p>

<p>My first year and image from my second wedding in December. Probably my favourite image so far - it just kind of happened on the lounge floor while the bride was dressing upstairs: this bridesmaid and her sister were more than keen to play to the camera, making for some lovely photos for their family.<br>

40D, EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS @ 55mm, f/2.8, 1/40s, ISO 400. 580EX II +1 EV and Lightsphere straight up.</p>

<p>Groom singing love song to his new bride.<br />Shot with Canon XTI, Tamron 17-55 F2.8 - exposure of 1/40 at F/16 ( small aperture to add the starburst affect) Image colors were adjusted in Lightroom 2. <br />2009 is my second wedding season.</p><div></div>

[ronny1]

<p>This was my first payed job as a wedding photographer.<br>

It was absolutely fun, I hope that all the wedding that I'll shoot will be this way.<br>

I've used the chance to capture the bride while she was dancing alone to a fast-beat music.</p>

<p>Using: canon 5D & canon 20-35/2.8 L 580EX II<br>

Settings: 20mm f/4.5 @ 1/6 ISO 400 using on camera flash<br>

As far as I remember: flash was zoomed in and probably dialed down by 2<br>

In addition: PS to achieve the desired affect.</p>

The wedding was in summer 2008.

 

BTW... Good Luck to everyone with the contest.

In addition I wish us all the "new" comers to the industry, a lot of success in 2009.

I know that I have big expectations from myself this year!<div></div>
