Engagement Shoot - Troutdale, Oregon...Lots of pics

BPerron

I had the pleasure of shooting a couple of my very good friends...I am surprised I even talked them into this shoot due to very busy schedules on both their parts...They really love edge feild in Troutdale, Oregon...so we went there...The place was great to shoot at, but the time was horrible, completely sunny and no clouds and they were not able to stay later, so you know how it goes as photographers make due with what you have...Although there are some ones with shadows and blown highlights, I think they do not effect the photo much and in some cases add a little different element, although I may be biased...

As always C&C welcome...

I find #4 is the best of the bunch.
While i like some better then others due to composition, your lighting could be improved. Quiet few of them look somewhat either underexposed or overexposed, and very first shot, i don't know if the angle you took it at is doing this couple justice. Her legs looks like they're dirty or something

You have couple of shots that are quiet soft and not focused properly, it seems like you had low Shutter speed on those.

Keep on shooting, you have a great start!

Thanks for taking the time...Lighting was really bad...no matter where I went, I wanted to wait until it was better lighting, but there was no time...as for the legs looking dirty, I do not see it...but that is me...

You were right...I went back through all of them and for some reason light room under exposed alot of them for some reason from 1/2-3/4 of a stop...so I need to fix them...I will repost with the modified ones...

You might want to try some custom white balancing in Lightroom as well, some of these look a bit blue and cool. A little added yellow might warm them up a tad.

I can see what you are sayoing about the white balance but, I tend to like my photos a tad cooler, guess it is one of those subjective things with photography...but thank you for taking the time.
