First wedding shots with d70

[wunkley]

Went to a wedding down in Devon recently. Was quite lucky with the weather apart from the wind which was nasty.
Anyway, they had an official wedding photographer but I floated around with my D70 and Sigma 70-300 zoom taking some candid shots. Here's some from the day, a lot of which are black and white (as I like that at the mo).

As usual, thoughts and stuff appreciated (and how do you post more than 4 pics on here, or can't you?)

First up, the bride:

Second up, the happy couple:

1st shot is a cracker (shame about the photgrapher on the r/h side of the shot). last needs a bit of tweeking with levels..clip the l/h end to set a good black point.

Yeah I really like the first one. Was going to crop/ touch out the photographer but thought it was good to leave it as it 'shows the day' sort of thing. Probably will end up cutting it tho.

Which one needs levels tweaking u think, last of all 8 or last of the first 4? Also, the colour ones aren't looking too hot on screen now, think I may have overtweaked those.

i love the 'candid' style of them, great pics, they look good in b/w.

very last one imo. bring up the shadows to about 15 on the levels toolbox. Also maybe add a bit of a warming tone to the shot perhaps.

Its always hard to get a contrasty shot when shooting across/into the sun but the levels functionality is great for removing a grey/dull cast over the shot.
