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.

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.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Hey guys, Just one share from a recent wedding:  I''d seen this tree lit up with fairy lights as I left an earlier wedding I had shot at the same venue. I thought to myself I have to get my next bride and groom in under this tree and get some photos when its dark. So I did! My wife is crouching down behind them using a video light to spill light back into the camera and give them a rim-light. Camera is tripod mounted. More from this wedding at the top of my blog http://www.vibrantphotography.com.au/blog/Thanks for looking  UPDATE: CHANGED TO FLICKR HOSTED IMAGE.

I get the same results as Geoff. No image + forbidden BUT if I go to your base site (.com.au) then click on blog, I get there. So it seems to be a problem linking from here. Nice image BTW.
Greg It's easy to be good... when there is nothing else to do

It's a miracle! I can see!
And a bloody nice image too. Are you able to wrangle just a little more detail from the shadow areas of the b+g?

Absolutely stunning. I don't think you need to try and pull any more shadow detail, the blacks are good as they are.
My only real complaint is the bride's train, it leads to the bottom left. perhaps if you put the bride and groom more to the right it would avoid that leading problem and give it a sense of space.
Great shot, and I wish i could do stuff like that soon.
How different is a video light to a strobe or other form or artificial light when it comes to on location work like that?
