When Time Stood Still

Critiques, more than ratings, are most appreciated. Your thoughts

and ideas help me constantly improve!

This is a very neat technique but due to your long shutter, I can't tell if the bride and groom are in sharp focus. But the more I think about it, I'm sure they have plenty of shots with them in sharp focus so I would take this creative capture over one of those!

Cleverly and effectively done. The happy couple will adore this .

Pat & Sarah - thank you for the kind feedback! :)

great photo. I would only like to see it bigger. 6/7

Great shot. Whoever said wedding photographs are boring! I hope you took more like this on the day!

Well seen & well done. Very original.

Great shot and great title! :)

Cool idea.

I like it too! Was it done in-camera or post-?

First, thank you kindly for all the positive and constructive critiques you've provided. Words can't describe how much your feedback means...especially at a time like this.

 

To Stephanie - I did this in-camera and accomplished the shot within two exposures. There was no post-manipulation of the image other than minor cropping. With the DJ's help, everyone danced in a circle around the couple while they remained completely still. The only part of this image that suprised me was how still her father became in the upper left....he is the sweetest soul I've met while shooting weddings. He cried before, during, and after the wedding. Not out of sadness, but because he saw his daughter for the strong, beautiful, gentle person she'd grown into. His last words to her before he walked her down the aisle were, "Until today I never noticed how blue your eyes were." Then he wiped his eyes one last time.

 

Keep Going,

Chris

That is SUCH a cool idea. I'll have to steal that idea sometime. :) I, too, would like to see a larger version of this. I think it's fitting that her father is also motionless.

as stated above, what a great idea! and in only 2 exposures too. I bet they will love it the couple and the father.
