shambrick007 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Pretty ladies, but just a typical "snap-shot", and low contrast. Next time, get everyone to look at the camera, or crop out those who don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotografz Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 In addition to above comments, watch out for the whites in the Bride's dress. In this shot they're blown out. And, IMO, if you ever shoot a whole wedding don't take the film to Sam's Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian1664876441 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Beautiful shot of the adults. I would crop in close, and crop-out the kids that are not looking at the camera. Then frame and give the picture to the bride and groom. It will look nice in their house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbs Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Afraid I have to dissagree on the severe crop, you lose too much of the detail of the moment. this is not the formal wedding shot it's the party and khiem nguyen need to keep in mind the context of the shot. It's a party!....;)...J<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2yellowdogs Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Khiem, As has been said, while it's not a bad shot, it was seriously underexposed. With digitization, it's easy to fix, as Jay has evidently done with some simple levels adjustments. You'll want to check your exposure, though, as it's much easier dealing with correct or close-to-correct exposures from the start. As you wrote, it was only a test shot. This shot is an example of why tests are important. However, it would be a very good idea to find a custom lab to run your proofs for you and avoid Sam's/Walmart/Walgreens, etc. It will cost more, but will save you a great deal of time in the long run. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprouty Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Hmm, I'm not sure if it's over-exposed or under exposed, since the whites look blown out and I don't see a lot of detail in the blacks. I don't do more than snaps w/Tri-X for friend's weddings but have to wonder if Reala is the right film. Wouldn't something with lower contrast be better? Portra, maybe? Marc? <P> And am I the only one that feel like the image is leaning a bit to the left? The central woman appears straight but the two men behind seem to be leaning and then there is the column...

jbs Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Blowout from no diffusion and maybe wrong flash setting and, it is under exposed. ....;)...J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
