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.

Forum rules
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.

Lovely shots - I think the first one is my favourite, for the closeness and 'love' in the shot.

But your off-sider got a nice shot with those bubbles, even if the couple looks a little less comfortable in this shot.

Hi Vince, i like both these shots even if dress is a bit washed out i dont think it matters, it is the moment that matters here and it is a great shot with the bubbles, makes it all worth remembering. i love all your wedding shots as this has been something i have not entered into yet but have been asked to do a few for friends back yard weddings, you know couple time around the traps say to speak so no big drama's.

I admire your work and well oneday i might get the guts to have a go a go as i do often get phone calls from people who know me from the track work i do but i try to shy away from it.
Cheers
John

excellent work
the 2nd shot of the bubbles is beyond amazing, I once saw buubles like these at a event but ti didn't look anything like in the 2nd pic
The couple must be so happy with those shots of their special day

Thanks MHD & Wendellt.

First time for me with a bubble machine indoors at a reception. Most of the time it is a smoke machine or dry ice in a bucket.

Nice ones shutterbug, that first one is great. The bubbles add an interesting touch to the second, maybe if the couple were not so centered.

Great shots, Vince. The bubble are great in the 2nd one, looks like they are some kind of special effects added with PS.

Well done.

Yes, the D200 is sweet :wink: The only main negative thing about it is the battery life. I just brought the charger wth me and also will be investing in more batteries.

The images are straight out of cam with just resizing and usm.

I said it all before, go to the Auto accessories stores and buy one of the:
12 volts portable battery pack (Starter & Power supply), haul it in your backpack and connect to your D200.

Its batteries (on D200) drain more quickly with the VR lenses, I shot an evening event (5/2/06) on a demo D200 (testing for a customer for banding and battery issues), it ran out of juice at around 300 shots with one fully charged battery (used no flash).
The more of the AF-S glass hunts into focus, the more battery used.
