ART First wedding v.CRY

[mikmit]

Here are a few photos from my first wedding. I definitely need to charge at least triple of what I did. Shot 1100 photos from 0800-2200. Had about a 51% keeper rate.

My body is sore from just all the running around I had to do, literally. Only 1 body, D700, and it just isn't enough. Had only a 24-70 the entire time, also, not enough. Bought a 16-35 f/4 and another SB700, but couldn't use the 16-35 and had to return it today (major back focusing). I'm disappointed with my shots during the ceremony cause there were many that were blown out. I'm a terrible photographer.

If you have any questions, or C&C, please blast away.

I don't understand the first one... a double exposure with some stairs?

It's the corner of a standup, frameless mirror

Ya, I don't get #1 at all either, it's weird...even after your explanation.

Not sure if it's the processing or not, but a lot of the shots look underexposed.

#6 is def baller man! #7 would've been epic if she was in focus.

Looks good man, how do you feel it all went?

i just thought #1 looked cool, shrug lol

i feel pretty relieved in a sense, since its over now. but the pp work is right there to stress me out lol. and then another wedding to shoot in spain next week.

i thought a lot of the photos were way over exposed...maybe i compensated too much.

#1 just looks like bad photoshop. ditch it. especially considering the other half of the frame is just the under side of some stairs...

The rest of em are good! No reason to be down on yourself!

just make sure it comes with a diagram of wtf that shot really was.. i still dont get it i stared at it for like 3 minutes and then gave up

frameless mirror w/ a weird bevel in front of the staircase? so we see the stairs and the mirror/bevel (causing the 2nd reflection)?

MAYBE IM JUST CONDUCTING A SOCIAL EXPERIMENT ON A MASS MINDFUCK????

Who knows.

[mikmit]

[Marix]

Look good to me! Can see a little halo around where you've brightened some parts - just be careful with that. Ie the girl in 3.. the wall is lightened too.
