A couple from the wedding

Some from the wedding I shot. Gear was 20D, 24-105 F4 L, 580EX with LSPJII. It was very informal, I was not 'replacing' a pro photog (they were not going to get one), I was just someone at the wedding with a bit more gear than a digital PnS.

Happy with this one:

Just not sure how to make some of my photos 'pop'? Any ideas?

Image

Flash decided to turn itself off so no fill flash ... still okay I think :?

Image

Flash working ... but I think the L glass is a little too sharp sometimes ...

Dion,

First and last ones work well. Good expression (natural) on young girl and good sharpness and light on couple in last shot.

Cheers

Michael

Nice Dion. The light does seem a little harse in the last one.

Hope you don't mind but I spent a minute on it to remove some of the reflections and then ran a light noise ninja over it.

I've been experimenting a lot lately with that technigue and the ladies love the effect.

Did you shoot Raw or JPEG? It looks as if you've got way too much in-camera sharpening happening..

Mark,

Yeah I figure I might have to do that.

Vort - shot in RAW, no sharpening in camera. Just PP'd sharpening, and very lightly at that (ie less than I normally do for say landscapes or urban shots).

I think soften the photos up a bit so the flaws on the skin don't show up so much.
