Different kind of pressure in this one, get it wrong and I might get my ass kicked for real lol

I got to head out soon so only (quickly/preliminary) processed these so far.

nice shots

not sure about the burnt out bits in no1 though, a bit distracting

Raymond Lin · 17 Oct 2009 at 14:20

Yeah, only been back for an hour or so, lots of little things to tweak, that's one of them

Nice pics, what lens are you using??

muttclugg · 17 Oct 2009 at 14:39

3,4 and 5 are my favs. A nice set there, well done!

Might just be my laptop screen but the guy in number 10 looks like he has a blue tint to his face?

Honestly mate, I don't think you have anything to worry about

Paul11 · 17 Oct 2009 at 15:13

lovely shots raymond, im sure she will be really pleased

I think 7 would have been better with the bride in focus rather than the bridesmaid but thats just my opinion of course

Russinating · 17 Oct 2009 at 15:42

Really like them - but I'm not surprised, I do like your style of photography (especially weddings). Well done

Mint_Sauce · 17 Oct 2009 at 15:42

I think they're all really nice, nothing to worry about - you should just look forward to the gushings of praise from your sister!

SHEDDER1uk · 17 Oct 2009 at 15:52

Really good shots.

Number 4 is lovely but I keep getting distracted by the blown out bit... black and white?
I love the rest though

This^^, however it is quite nice like it is, just the OOF is a bit distracting

Other than 4 (slightly blown) the rest are very nice.

8 :]

Oh, beautiful bride too...

Raymond Lin · 18 Oct 2009 at 00:19

No, 4 is slightly blown, too quick with the slider in LR :S will be fixed

#8 is the sister of the groom, she's even more stunning in real life if that's possible.

#7 - At that moment i made a decision what to stay in focus. I thought of the bride first, most logical, however, that means behind her will be out of focus, which includes the bouquet in the air, which will be lost in the background and worried that the photo won't show what she just did. Option 2 is what you see here, and I think i caught it at the right moment

Great shots, I can't see why your sister wouldn't be pleased. They tell a real story me thinks!

#10 is too cold, crank up the temp, the bride and groom look frozen!

They are all very nice but on my uncalibrated work monitor there are lots of blown highlights which I personally find distracting. Esp 1,4,10 - keeping details in the brides dress is a key to wedding photography, IHO.

Composures are all great I think.

A few other things, I see what you were aiming for in 7 but for me it just doesn't work at all
8 is very soft
10 WB is out

Banish · 18 Oct 2009 at 09:19

I like all those very artistic

Thanks, and your first point is very important, I wonder those who mention the highlights are blown, how many's monitors are calibrated? My Mac's screen gives me prints identical to whats on screen so that is the utmost important. They do look quite blown on my laptop no doubt, quite scary actually but on my iMac, it's nowhere near.
