theyre nice but i dont like the second one, use of black and white and colour in that picture doesnt look right

14-07-2008, 00:33

I like them :thumbs:

What camera did you take them with?

And settings?

Vinny

14-07-2008, 00:47

Cheers all.

Techno-Geek, I used a Canon 5D and three different lenses, 16-35L f/2.8, 24-105L f/4.0 and 70-200L f/2.8. Various settings but I found the majority of the time keeping the camera on Av mode was easier and quicker than fully manual. 95% of the focusing was manual however.

great shots Vinnie!!

Really lovely. Whereas in this country we usually have to battle against cloud and low light.... you had wonderful clear light and the pics are SO sharp and clear.

They are very artistic too... you have the gift... now do some more!! :thumbs:

Great pics, would put many a pro to shame! They really capture the day and seems all had an excellent time. :thumbs:

That's hard work and you have done really well with these. Sunlight that bright produces some very unflattering shadows and you have done spectacularly well in keeping those to a minimum.

I'd say a huge congratulations was in order.

I agree with Janice & Ali ... some wonderful images there.
Thyere such classics and yet have an individual style.
Id be well chuffed with pics like that. :clap:

You should be proud of these. The joy and happiness of the day really shows in the style of shots you have taken. Very natural feel to them:thumbs:

WOW if this is your first wedding your a bloody natural and i hate you :D, seriously these are lovely photos, there are only two i don't like that's 3 and 12, not a criticism by any means just a personal choice, but the rest are great, obviously you had a great location and some nice weather albeit sunny but some lovely blue sky's, what i really like is there are a few which are really original which tells me you have a creative eye for this type of work,( i did look at the whole set) I'm sure you can only go from strength to strength, very well done :thumbs:

Because the B&G were married in Santorini they are actually having a bit of a do this coming Saturday and have hired a room with a large projector and asked me to put the photos on DVD - there are quite a few peeps there so will be interesting for their comments too!!

Very professional looking and you seem to have had some great ideas with regards to poses and candid shots. I particularly liked the speech notes over the shoulder shot.

The venue looked stunning too, some great landsdcape shots, I'm sure they'll be well chuffed.

Vinny

Blimey many thanks everybody - got another wedding in September and a "public showing" of these photos tomorrow night at a reception the B&G are having now they are back in the UK.

Fingers crossed!!! :D

Cheers!
