Copyright: Jacob Roskam; I addition to the image I submitted in the wedding contest I thought of adding this one. It shows the 'tree of life' under which the ceremony took place. Although I am a professional photographer I attended this wedding as a guest and was asked to relax and for once leave my Professional gear in the car.... I did they thought and carried 'only a Fuji X10' ...;-)Enhanced the sky and total colour a bit to what I experienced but what the camera did not reproduce as such immediately.

Copyright: Jacob Roskam; 2013I have been a commercial photographer for 40 years now . But at this particular wedding of my friends was invited as a guest "to relax for once...." they said . So I sneaked my little Fuji X10 in and could not resist my urge to capture what I saw: The most inspiring wedding I ever attend perhaps. A great Country wedding in a paddock under an ancient tree. This particular image was shot in the panorama mode of that Fuji X10. An amazing little camera. Only 'manipulating' done was removing a disturbing modern vehicle used for one of the elderly guests.
