another from the wedding on Saturday...

Undecided...colour or B&W?

Black n white. Look at groom. He looks great in black n white. Bride looks no different in black n white or colour. He makes the shot more striking in black n white

You were in a moving car when you took that shot? thats really impressive! it looks like you were stationary, not moving!

Thanks!

But the shutter speed isn't the difficult part, it was shot at 1/4000sec so more than fast enough to even freeze the blades of a helicopter. It's the autofocus that usually isn't fast enough on the lens to lock on!

I read 50/50 reviews on the 50mm 1.4 EX DG having strange AF problems where it would not lock on correctly all the time but I've certainly not had such an issue!

I'm a big fan of b&w but I prefer the colour as well

Another snap of the little 'un

Looks like your enjoying the shallower DOF of the 1ds, nice shot!

I would go with colour, but tone down the colour of the woman's top to the right of the bride, as it draws your focus away from the main target.

If you can get the coloured confetti on the B&W id like that shot

Selective colouring = uber tacky

Yes don't be tempted, I was looking at other wedding photographers websites sites in my area yesterday, and seeing selective colour in their portfolio, always put's a smile on my face.

I'm distracted by the confetti in the grooms left ear.

So i took my camera to Goodwood Festival Of Speed last weekend, but took it really to document the day for myself rather than to get anything of significant merit, but did get a couple that I thought worked well.

shadowness, that 2nd one is absolutely amazing, any info on technique? or was it just a slow shutter?

just low ISO, open shutter for 1/4 second would work.

Hope your subject don't move.



The quicker the moving subject is, the less time you need to open it for, meaning you can even do it hand held at night.

Everytime i think i get the grasp of something, ray posts a picture and i feel inadequate

Bokeh

Edit*
I used f2.0 as 1.4-1.8 was "too" smooth, needed some definition in what's back there

Wow, just gorgeous shots! I particularly like the light in the second fish shot (#14?), the incense stick shot and the final shot of the skating rink.
