My first wedding shots

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

My first wedding shots

Postby devilla101 on Mon Mar 12, 2007 11:32 pm

I was lucky enough to get invited to my friends wedding and used my new Sigma 70-200mm 2.8 APO EX DG Macro. What a lens! First time using a $1000+ glass. Here are some of my first wedding photography.

I'm sure the B&G will love #3 :) Nice work.

In general I think the WB is too warm - I like the warm tones in the background, but the skin is too orange for my taste. Apart from that, maybe try some curves work to separate the groom from the background?
So join in the chorus, and sing it one and all!

The last one is great composition-wise. The first one is nice, but you might want to crop some room off on the top, too much dead space on the top. I agree regarding the skin tones comments by rooboy. I'd cool them down if you shot these in RAW.

Great work.

You did good on your first wedding experience :)

As above, Cool down the WB for skin tones and give them #3 for printing (or DIY).

Thanks for the comment fellas and after taking a second look, I agree that these shots are a little too warm. I might play around with curves, wb and saturation to make it less warm as people have suggested

EDIT: I just reduced the temp and reduced the orange saturation. Thank you RAW
