I don't normally post very much and stick with lurking, but I decided that this one would be good enough to share. I shot this couple's wedding back in August and they called me up to do some fun ones with just the two of them (trash the dress, if you will). I'm still processing them all, but I'm in love with this one. I have many more that are closer to them, but I just love the vibe with this one. That and the fact that I didn't drop me or my camera off the cliff that I was leaning off.

    Why did you tilt it?

    I actually shot it that way to try and include more of the ocean and less of the cliffs. I was shooting blind with it since I had my arms way out in front of me to get the view I was looking for.

    interesting shot! i dont mind the tilt. At times i do prefer a lil shift~ a first glance i noticed the lighthouse, my eyes then moved along the coast line to find the bride & groom. GJ

    Oh silly me....I was looking and looking...thinking, "hey, this is a landscape shot...in the wedding forum?"...Laughing.gif...then I saw the B&G..way down the left corner. A great setting but.......do you have any where the B&G are a bit more prevalent in the frame using that coastline as an enhancement?

    He blends in with the water and she.....with the wave break. This COULD be an interesting perpspective but a different approach is called for here.

    I like the leading line going to the B&G, but her dress blends in way too much with the white water. Also not digging the tilt.

    Just the tilt
    The tilt is the only thing that I don't like about this image. The B&G really appeal to me. I like it!
