Last weekend, I took pictures for a friend at his brother's wedding. All in all, it went well considering I am new at this, we were rushed, and all I was using was a Canon S500 digital snapshot camera. Here is my second attempt at posting the images - I think I've got this posting thing almost figured out now. Let me know what you think!

This next one is what I consider to be the 'best' shot. I like most of whats in it, the only problem, as another member picked up on as well, is that the faces are slightly out of focus. And thats a pretty major problem with the picture as you don't have to be a real detail freak to notice. I might try to sharpen it a little, or maybe experiment with some other editing to hide the mistake.

This next one is almost a good shot, but I should have had them turn just slightly more towards me so I could have gotten a better shot of thier faces.

This next one is one of my favourites:

This next one was poor with the sun so bright:

This next one was an attempt at a fun photo, and would have been pretty good, but turned out too dark. I'm not sure if I can brighten it up to look good or not.

This next one was almost a good shot except I should have waited for a better expression on her face. I think the angle is okay, but the set up for the shot should have been a little better: the tree in the background is a little distracting how it lands right behind thier faces.

    Not bad at all for a first real wedding. I think this shot works pretty well and the effect helps with the background.

    I agree with some of your critiques of your own work but all in all I'll bet they are happy with the results thumb.gif

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.
