Like the last one best.
Great.
1 & 3 the strongest for me.
Is 2 purely shadow recovery, seem very well lit but you don't strike me as a reflector/flash kinda guy?
P.s - I hate all these coastal/boat/beach/southern weddings, wish I'd get a break on a coastal venue. Probably doesn't help living 30 mins from a town thats officially the furtherst from any coast in the UK

2 is pure shadow recovery....his D810 is like magic, I am actually is serious.
I thought it was but genuinely couldn't believe the quality of the recovery. Are the Nikons that far ahead at the moment?
My favourite wedding photographer also had pretty awesome recovery on his shots, and I know he's using Nikon.

It's better not just in lab test, it's in real life situations.
Although if you exposed correctly in the first place (over expose) then you don't need to recover that much.
Agreed but for #2 that's unavoidable.
I don't ever get into any debates about equipment as I'll always believe the person behind the camera is 95% of the equation. However, with weddings, better shadow recovery is something I'd love to have at my disposal and I'm quite surprised at how far behind the 5DIII is with that.
Anyway, enough of that rubbish geeky stuff... Where was the wedding?

Actually Raymond, aside from shooting to the left by a stop, there isn't any notable shadow recovery going on. It's a little bit like when you took a shot of that wedding couple with the sun behind some tress (Rebecca & Nick), and no one would believe you didn't use a flash or reflector. You literally had to post the RAW apparently over at talk photography.
sooc + 1 stop ( to account for shooting to the left).

I am surprise that you do ! It wasn't even here but in TP.
(p.s. it is still Rebecca's facebook profile!)
