Henrique's baptism - Portugal

Antonio Correia

I just shoot some pictures of the ceremony some hours ago.
What do you think ?
Is it OK ?

It looks to me that the time you took to research the church for shooting opportunities and vantage points paid off a huge return on your inventment. Would love to see the some of the rest of the shots.

Thank you Scott.
Indeed the event was this morning and - till now - I have just sellected some to photoshop.
And I did it only to this one.
To have a feed-back.
Neverness I posted some at http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=35918 but in a hurry
I have now realized I made some errors:
1. As the light was different in the same room and I should have used P instead of Manual.
2. Because I was too concentrated on the moments, I shaked a little the camera. I was thinking to use the tripod as monopod but turned out differently. I was at 1/50 though.

I should have ballenced the whites in the church.
I think that may be we shoul use the flash as if it was not there.
I mean: photograph as if we were not using the flash.
I used bounced flash vertical with a "condom" and a reflector.
I must try and experiment with a grey 18% card and see the results.
More ...
Tell me about this.
See you in a moment I hope.
