B&G Kissing Heart Sparklers

Any comments appreciated....

Great idea! But the bride and groom are a bit dark.

This is so cool! Great Job.

are you the one who posted a question regarding this in the wedding/event forum? Cool. The couple does look a bit dark but I cant say I could do better.

Thanks for the comments so far, I know there are many things I'll improve upon for next time, but it turned out great for the first wedding try and the B&G had a good time doing it. Tips for next time, lower the tripod to get the B&G faces lower in the heart, set the Q-flash at 1/16 to light them a little better. Yes, I was the one who asked the question about a week ago,... thanks for the tips! In PS, I can bring the curves up a little on the B&G, and it will look better, this image is straight from the camera, just cropped and sized to post.

The camera was on a tripod only, no cable release used. The couple practiced once without the sparklers lit, and started at the top where you see them in the image. When they noticed the flash go off, they began the motion around the heart to meet at the bottom. A 2 second exposure allowed this to be captured this way.

crop it a little bit more from the top, and get rid of the cement in the bottom (crop that out as well) and your photo will look amazing.

Nice idea. Well done.

Well done! I wish I had thought of that during the 30 plus years I did wedding photography.
