Not sure how much this one is necessary in the set, does it make sense in context? If so, that's fine though.

To be fair, these are really small issues, and on the whole that's a really solid set!

Thanks for the feedback kd. Just to follow up on this one, as I admit people probably won't get this without knowing the couple. The couple have recently got back from back packing across the world for x numer of years. If you read the guest book message, their friends describes them as free sprits. Those birds are supposed to represent that. Also yes, it does add a little context.

Very nice set, but are you... are you selling my black and white processing? Just messing with you, very nice photos individually and even more impressive in the context of being 1 of 100 shots.

Lol, it just happens to be similar!

Thanks for the critique mate.

I like it, good job Rhys.

Composition is nice, good selection of images. (still finding the added grain very ironic btw!) And some of the fake TS don't work for me even though I know what you are trying to do. You ever thought about getting a TS and try it for real?

Yes I have thought of getting a TS, but I didn't really want to carry the extra weight. I'm on a diet at the minute, so if I lose a couple stone, I might reconsider.

Raymond Lin said:
Negative is that there is far too much for a blog, too many same shot of the same thing for a blog. Got a bit bored about half way through. You could cut it down by half and have the same if not stronger impact. How many did you post?

The whole lot. I'm having a bit of trouble with culling if I'm honest. I'll go through them later and see which ones won't be missed, or ones I just don't feel that strong about, but culling is definitely getting harder.

I see you've lowered the saturation on red Timson sign !

Trust you to notice that!

A very nice set- I think your style is certainly growing on me. I really enjoy looking through your threads

I think you have created a beautiful set of images and I'm sure they are thrilled with the results..

Thanks guy's

Get the lens, extra weight to carry, more weight lost? Problem solved?

In one sense, not being able to cull is a bit of a pain. But on the other, it's a nice sign that the consistency of your shots is getting better

kd

Lol, I guess you have a point, although given how I like to cover as many angles as possible. I'm not sure I could manage more weight and do as much running around (literally running) that I usually do.
This wedding nearly killed me as it is. The next day my feet were sore (bruised from running/walking for 11Hrs), and I could barely move my legs. It's lucky processing images isn't strenuous, else the day would have been a write off.

Haha

Interesting question, seeing as the gf just asked as she saw me looking...

B/G preparations, did they both get prepared in the same hotel or did you have to run from one venue to another?

kd

No they both got married at the same hotel, just at different ends of the Hotel and different floors. Had to keep going back and forth numerous times.

Yeh, I'v never witnessed moire on a suite. Seen it on my d700 though.

Thanks for all the feedback.

Everything works together I say! Singled out on their own some of the shots may not make a lot of sense but as a whole set it just works and the note on some of the details too. I like and have taken some ideas on board as well so thanks for the inspiration

I think the processing looks vintage in this set, I really do need to choose a look and stick to it instead of using 2 different colour styles. This will be important for me at the end of the month!

No worries, glad to be of some service.. I think most of what we learn is from other togs.
Regarding processing. I do think it's important to have a consistent style whatever it is.
