So, last night I hosted a mini workshop and did a trash the dress session all- in-one. It was a ton of fun! Now, it was my first TTD, so C&C welcome!

7. I think the dress is close to being blown out here...but I think it's mostly just not in focus...

    I'm sorry, but this isn't trash this dress! Where is the mud slinging? Fire?? Dirt romping??

    rolleyes1.gif Just kidding!


    I really like 1, 3, 8, 10, 11. I really want to do a TTD!

    Wow this looks like it was fun! I particularly liked #8 and #10, although I would like to see what #10 looks like in color.

    This makes me want to run to the local Goodwill store, but a long white dress and get my daughter and her boyfriend to play along with the shoot. But its getting kind of cool here now..... maybe in the spring..... :D

    Great photos clap.gif

    I especially liked the angle in #2 (ring shot), hmmmmm, might borrow that idea at some point iloveyou.gif

    Have you tried saturating the colors a bit more in #3 + adding a vignette (especially on the ground / water). Might make it even more dramatic. Cool shot!

    Love #6 (how about a "golden" / sunset processing? I'm sure it would look awesome), love #7 too

    #8 is hilarious (him wringing out the dress), haha rolleyes1.gif

    #9, what a shot .... arrrgh, about not having a more cooperative sky :cry

    #10 is fabulous (did she get into the water all the way???) I'm still waiting for one of my brides to do that :cry

    #11 (running) is fun! ...

    #13 (bridge) very cool ...

    and the last one very cute. You got all the looks, I think you did awesome! iloveyou.gif

    Thanks for the PP input...sometimes I'm afraid to get too processed...but those are great suggestions!

    And no, she didn't quite get in the water all the way...it was only about 1-3 feet deep in most places. Just a little creek...

    And yeah...a very cloudy day. It even rained a bit...we've just been getting nasty weather the past couple of weeks.

    Thanks for the feedback!...and yeah, do they look young! Though, I think they're older than they appear...heck, people usually guess I'm five years younger than I am. So, maybe it's a good thing.
