hi, these are really nice. number 3 is my favourite .. number 2 is good also, but the window is a little bit of a distraction and draws my eyes away .. but other than that they are good :) what equipment do you use?

[brooke+3]

Hi Thanks for your reply i have a nikon D60 the first and third where taken with 18-55 lens and the other was a 55-200 i did all editing in lightroom i am really still learning i have only had my first SLR camera for about 4 weeks .

Here is couple more does the effect on the second one work i am still looking at it and not sure.

With the first one same pose different photo do you think its better in colour or black and white.

Great shots, my only c&c would be that in the 5th picture, I find the white insie the car a bit distracting [the sunlit bit just to the right of her face], I keep trying to figure out what it is. Maybe selectively tone that down a little bit?

Try selecting it with the selection tool, then sliding the saturation down [adjustments->hue/saturation]

I just tryed but you can see where i have gone around it with the selection tool .

is wedding photography something that you are looking to get into?

yes i watched my pro at my wedding 12 months ago and ever since then been fasinated with it i have always loved taking photos . I have since been a second photographer at two family weddings i just havent got my head around photoshop yet i think lightroom is easier to use . :)

I selected the bright white areas on his shirt with the magic wand, feathered the selection by 2 & then dropped lightness by 1, made a bit of difference.

However my initial comments were based on the thumbnails & not the fullsize. I think it was mainly I couldn't figure out what the white actually was. However on opening the pic [should have done that in the first place], I can see what it is... so it actually doesn't need fixing.

Very nice pics though, and I agree that 5th one could be in a mag somewhere

Heres one more for you guys. This photo is of the brides father his wife brides mother died 8 weeks ago suddenly i neally cry everytime i look at this photo he has so much emotion in his face don't you think.

[jessika]

ohhh :( thats sad .. they all look very happy here

Great shots. I like the black and white of the bride specifically because you have eye contact - not always required in these shots as the colour version works well here as well - however, the eye contact really adds that extra something.

The car shot and flower shot is really well done as well.

Your second photo with the bride and bridesmaids does have a distracting background which takes away from the shot but it is a fun shot.

Still an amateur here but I might suggest, if the line is too strong around the selection tool, after you select it, Select>Modify>Feather.. Then just fiddle around with how much

[birdie]

Shot 5 looks great... well done :-)

hi
the b&w bridal veil pic seems too dull and flat for me, i would luv to see it with a bit more light and contrast. the colour version appeals to me more as i feel the warm natural lighting and colour saturation works better for a diffused pic.

the pic with the brides maids seems a bit chaotic with the house in the background. I think you have done pretty well for a 1st wedding :)

Love the 4th and 5th shots. The car one is really something special! Definitely a shot for the mantlepiece :)
