A&P doing some engagement shots today

hopefully they aren't terrible

 

good luck broski

 

good luck. don't fuck 'em up.

 

good luck, remember try and get natural feeling images.

 

This is OT's version of support.

 

only the best for Stormy.

 

you'll do great

 

well, they're terrible. ignoring composition, I still screwed up technically a few times because I wasn't really thinking about it. I had told them we'd need a few hours.. we get there and I find out she has to be somewhere else in like 1 hour. felt rushed the whole time.

no PP except white balance and resize.. I won't do anything else but crop a few and maybe try 1 or 2 in b&w

 

they aren't that bad

 

I can only hope to one day achieve mediocrity

 

hey it's better than I could have done

 

As long as they like it, thats all that matters.

 

I think a better lighting set up could have helped the shots, but they're pretty good. what were you using for lighting?

 

here's some comments, just my opinion and what I'd do to make it better next time.

again, just my opinion, but i hope it helps

 

I like the lighting on the last one, I wonder what a low powered fill flash would look like though. I like most of them, good job!

 

Theyre not THAT bad, some are too soft but I'm sure they'll end up liking them and that's what matters (to them). At long focal lengths watch your shutter speed: remember, the longer it is, the harder it is to hold it steady

and you clown on my pics

 

seriously, why he didnt drop the F stop and bump up the shutter speed is beyond me


he couldve easily shot some in iso 100

 

thanks for quoting all of the pics, i wasnt sure which ones you were referring to

 

580ex on camera in manual. the flash was recycling very slowly, though, and I missed a lot of shots.. I couldn't figure out why. when I got home I took the batteries out and found out that apparently either my brother or sister took my rechargeable batteries and put in crappy ones.

I should have taken them out to charge even if they didn't need, and then I would have noticed.

 

true that. I may have only liked 1 or 2, but they liked at least half of em

 

on the wtf arms pic, she was trying to show off the ring a bit. and yeah I kept telling them when posing them to do what felt natural and comfortable, but a lot of them still look very awkward.

the shot where he's down on one knee, I couldn't figure out later what I didn't like about it, but it is definitely the DOF. when I got the idea for that I was much further away shooting at almost 200mm.. after I posed em I was closer and went to 70mm.. didn't even think about it. 4ft dof changed to 20ft.

 

thanks, guys

 

its ok, next time!

 

need more PP
