First E-Shoot - C&C Welcome (11 Pics)

du8die

I did my first engagement shoot on Saturday. We were out on the shores of Lake Michigan, it was windy and cloudy - but we made the best out of it. There's a lot I wish I did different technically, in terms of lighting, but the wind was preventing me from using an umbrella, etc. So, Kind of had to make do. C&C Welcome please!

Thanks!

Wanted to include this one because I love her expression. Had a lot of camera shake on this one.

Well I see the Art Museum, and 7 bridges at Grant Park... where is 7 and 8 from? Lake park or another area of Grant Park?

Anyways.. 4 is my fave. I would say more but I'm on my way out the door. Hopefully somebody will give you a little c and c... sometimes its tough.

Hey Matt,

#1 - Tropical Dome
#2,3,5,6,7,8,10 all at N. Lincoln Memorial Drive & Ravine Drive (By Bartolatta's Lake Front Bistro).

None at Grant Park. Thought about going there, but decided to stay up north.

There's a little path that borders Ravine Drive to the north - has those steps and that bridge.

4 is very cool
4 rocks-- everything about it... wow and I really like the perspective in 9-- creative pov. It looks like they were having fun, too which is good.

In refrence to your sig comment, and I'm sure you know this, but it just makes it easier or else when you have problems people are always asking are you canon or nikon-- which zoom were you using do you have a 50 mm, what type of lighting equiptment do you have? etc etc

4 is really great, 9 too. If they have to pick one to put as their announcement in the paper, they should go with 4

Ahhh! I've never shot by Bartolatta's! Those steps are nearly identical to an area by grant park that I shoot in! Nice.

Great set! Did you use flash on these?

du8die

Some flash, some not.

1,2,3 flashed - the rest were natural light.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!
