Wedding shots at last!

Haven't had a proper chance to sort through all the shots yet, but having shot in both RAW & a 2MP JPG, thought I would just grab a couple of favourite shots out of the Jpegs, no pp yet, to see what you think. Lots of wheat to sort from the chaff yet, but I do like these ones, C&C appreciated please. Think they were both K20D and DA* 16-50.

Well I think numbers 1 and 3 are nice photos but the happy couple are a little dwarfed by the backgrounds. Usually with wedding photos the crop tends to be heavier on the subject (bride and groom in these cases) - that's not to say these are wrong, just a little unusual as wedding photos go.

Picture 2 on the other hand has a great composition but unfortunate shadows cast across both faces - could really have done with flash and/or a reflector here methinks.

Still, not bad for a first effort - it's all good practice!

Was kinda on orders for those though! Because the main school had scaffolding out the front, the bride wanted a lot of shots of the grounds as well because of missing out on the shots she wanted.

Also she wanted shots that the photographer wasn't doing, but as you say, definately good practice! (and I did put these up whilst drunk last night!)

I'm thinking it's possible to remove the shadows? Is it called dodge & burn? Sure someone will enlighten me! Sure I used flash on that one as well, but must have turned it off because the sun came out for once! Oh well, lesson learned!

Photo nr 3 is very nice.

I've never use a digital camera on a wedding in church before. Pentacon Six and few lenses only
Here is example:

I'm joking! Of course that I use digital camera but I try to use something else everytime to show people something else you know what I mean.

On my (calibrated) monitor, your shots look a tad dark Danny. Slight underexposure I think. Good first effort though, well done.
