    Thanks. Using the 40D with the 17-50 f/2.8 Tamron. This Tammy is super sharp and the colors are fabulous. I find this stays on one body most of the day. All these were with that set up.

    Fantastic! Love them. Especially like 3, 5, and 6. What is your typical post processing on these. I like it.

    Thanks Nik.....I kind a figured which ones would appeal to you. I also love #5 and will go in the port.....but I am seriously partial to the little bride's maid....she's beautiful.

    Thanks Steven. Typical isn't quite how I could describe them even if they do have some similarities. I generally work through numerous presets based on what I'm looking for (selective lighting, blur, mood, etc.) then do the jazz in LR knowing what will happen next in CS3. I use actions and assorted layers and masks with my own concoctions until it develops what's in the mind's eye. They basically take their own shape when processing. I'll have to revisit them to see what I did.

    Thanks for the kind words.

    The expression on her face is just .... well, I don't quite know what it is but it's certainly interesting and makes for a great moment/memory!

    Oh, I really like #2 - that is just a cool shot/pose/procesing. Well done indeed!

    #3 is just too sweet for words.

    #4 - Love the balance of the light between the outdoors (window) and the lighting on the B&G Well done! I do, however, find the greenary to be a bit distracting and might consider burning it in just a bit.

    #5 - nice treatment!

    My favs have to be #2 and #3 (but I'm just different).

    Awesome set. You've done a nice job retaining the detail and sparkle in that gorgeous dress! #3 is phenomenal.....one of the most arresting images I've seen from you ever! bowdown.gif

    I love the drama and feel of #5 just wish her expression were more....wistful? moody? something. I don't know, but that happens to me all the time!

    I really really like #7, too. Very nice angle and detail.

    Beautiful job! thumb.gif

    Thanks Kathy. Have not done a Graphi album as of yet but you're right..would look way cool. I was shooting 2nd on this wedding so it's doubtful the primary will use my images in this manner. I have a different processing style but will use them in the port :D

    Heheh...it's good to be different Scott. Thanks for your detailed comments. Glad you like them. #3 is really too sweet for words...I love that shot as well.

    Wow, thanks Lynne! #3 is also my fave. She is so beautiful. Once she warmed up to the camera and my sillyness she relaxed. Have some others of her as well throughout the day.

    Thanks for the kind words.

    Well you already know how I feel about #3, so I'll just skip mentioning how much I love it.

    As to the rest, I suppose they'll do. Just kidding, THEY ARE FANTASTIC! My favorite (besides the famous #3) is actually #2... I love the richness of the wood in that room with the bistro tables- it just feels like a gentlemen's club, and I love it. Great job with the dof on that shot.

    Thanks David & Heather! That was a really cool room. I ran out of time as I wanted to do many more shots there. I did have them all belly up to the bar but just didn't like it as much as this one. Thanks for the kind words.
