Roman wedding II

A tripod shot with a very cooperative couple.

Wanted to give a 7/7 but used all I can today Very nice!!!

Your weather pics are amazing!!!

Very nice! Shot my first wedding last night - it's STRESSFUL! Nice warm colors here and interesting background.

This was also my first wedding. Stressful, you bet, but a wonderful high when it was over. This shot was taken with tripod and D70 was fired from a laptop with Nikon capture. I could show the couple the results fullscreen, there and then. It was a relief to see they were happy.

I can only describe the first 15 minutes of the wedding as akin to the first 15 minutes of Saving Private Ryan. Everything seemed to go wrong. The groom would not pose for me - he was too nervous. I was in an unfamiliar city and scared to death my equipment would get stolen. The ancient church itself was beautiful, but as black as styx. It poured rain all day! Thankfully it all worked out in the end. This was taken next day.

I have never done any weddings and never been good at people photography also. Thank you for sharing your story at wedding and that tells me that I will never do any wedding photography..! :)) But after seeing your shot I thought I have a suggestion which is attached...

Hi Rajeev,

Thanks for the interesting suggestion, which I like very much. The streetlight gave a yellow cast to my original which you have successfully removed, I'm guessing you reduced the red in the red channel with the PhotoShop channel mixer?

The bride is pretty and the composition is good, but the colourcast is not good I made a quick fix. Don?t take the red channel down. Ad a blue photo filter in Photoshop instead.

Ad a layer mask and paint in the couple, then you can keep the colour in the background and get her dress white without effect the whole image.

I really appreciate your comments and the suggestions from improvement. Thank you Tore!

Hi Peter, lovely wedding photo and Torre's suggestion looks good too. Sometimes white balance cannot do everything that's why understanding PP is important too.
