Good work Geoff! You had some nice light working with you! You get better every time you do one of those. If I was to offer some constructive comments I would point you towards pics 2 & 3 and get you to look at the space above their heads. It would be put to better use by getting closer to your subject. (Some folk will say it adds a sense of environment but I think getting closer puts the priority on the subjects. There would still be a sense of landscape in the background. Picture one does that very nicely anyway and was well put together)

Very nice Geoff - If I was to make an adverse comment, it would be to look at the small details - for example, I believe the ladies bra strap is visible in #2 and #3 :wink:

Thanks for the comments and constructive criticism guys!

Matt - the light was sensational, I was so excited about it when we arrived there...a dream come true as the initial forecast for the day was showers, gotta love it when they get it wrong. pics 2 & 3 I thought about more of a square crop and chopping out more above them but I thought it gave more idea of the location etc (as you suggested some people may say).

Chris - it's incredible how you 'think' you've got a good shot, then only u notice what you have. I will try some creative PP on the bra strap and see how I go.

Again, thanks gentlemen for your comments :)


I was fortunate at this wedding, the B&G were so amazingly laid back and took my direction well, one of the ones I've enjoyed most thus far.

Alrighty Chris, gotcha, number 23 on the wedding photog checklist, check out the bras

Great photos Geoff! You should start upping your price! :shock:

I agree Re: 2 & 3. Number 1 - I betcha they frame that and put it on the wall.

hi

uuhmm the first one could have been better if you moved a bit more to the left so that the guy head was not on the same level with the branches of the tree.

great light.

Nice shots Geoff. I keep going back to #1 (pick of the bunch) and by looking at the shadows on the ground you shot directly towards the sun - :up:

great great photos Geoff, Did you use any reflectors?

#1 - my favourite, would be great if you could take out the trees sticking out of the guys head
#4 - great side lighting

look forward to next installment

Thanks surenj - no reflector in these ones, I was just really fortunate with the lighting at the time of the afternoon ;)
