Thanks for the link, it looks like a good weekend. Will make a note, as it is near a favourite place.

Never heard of it, but looks like an ideal place and event to take some good portraits, candid or otherwise. Where and when is it?
Thanks for posting this interesting set.

Great captures, but the first one is a beauty.

No.4 for me as well.

Would it be possible to (selectively) increase contrast/sharpness on the group of seed-heads, just left of the path?
With the line of the fence receding into the distance & the lines of the oof grasses & the shadow left foreground bringing the eye back, it would create a nice resting/finishing point for the composition.
(IMO!)

Cheers chaps,
I don't think my pp is upto that in iphoto , but agree with your line of thought.

Cheers chap, and thanks for cc.
I did reduce the saturation on no3, and couldn't decide if it was an improvement or not. Here it is without messing with saturarion.

There was some nice low light yesterday morning so took a stroll down to the river, taking a few on the way. Used the 28 2.8 AL and 55 1.4.

For some reason I find myself with a daft grin each time I have looked at this, it's a cracker.

Works well for me, both in pp and composition.

Hi chap,
My son was recently married in church, so have been viewing the professionals pics to get clues re positioning myself when in similar situations. Might be worth taking a quick look at some wedding galleries.

I think I would use the 35 and 50, and be prepared to crouch,kneel as the subjects are small.
Make sure you take a few of the person who invited you to take the pics...maybe not with her mouth open when singing, instead when smiling at the kids at a moment you can anticipate.
It might be worth thinking about the order of service so that you can be in the right place at the right time.
Hopefully not a suck eggs lecture, but your post made me consider what I might do, and sources of disappointment. I think anticipation and thought as to where and what the kids will be doing, so that you can get the pics is key.
Have fun
Nigel
