Oh, and I don't think the images above reflect the standard of your work. There's much stronger images on your blog.

Just had a look through the blog post. It's a good, consistent set. They'll be more than happy with these. It looks like you expose for the face in every image, while that helps with consistency it does make a few of the images look a bit 'bright', the dress in some of the images has lost its...

Simon Revill?

The first one seems a little dark for me? Lovely portrait though, I'm sure she'll be chuffed with that as it's very flattering. The whole sun glare thing just isn't my thing so won't comment on the second one but we are in the business of keeping the client happy, not other photographers, so...

Oh believe me, this and also getting horizons going through heads are two things that I'm trying my best NOT to do any more. Perhaps I should actually start slapping myself.

A few from last Thursday at Thornton Manor - Reminded me of why I usually don't do friends weddings, always that added pressure to deliver... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Hasn't pretty much everything been done to death now? In the city I guess you're not exactly presented with magical opportunities around every corner. My experience has nothing to do with this. I offered helpful critique on what in my view would improve the image.

For a first wedding those are images that you can be proud of. Few issues with colours, especially the latter images but a good set in all. #5 could have been loads better if the crossing lines were either straight or diagonal and not in between. That would be a good black and white #6 Not...

New convert here. Sigma 35mm 1.4 replaced my 28-70 last year and I've just replaced my 70-200 with a 135 1.8. Also got a 50 1.4 in the bag and a 28 for the groups. Though I think I need an 85 1.4 to fill that gap.

It had a road-test on the weekend, it seems really good but only in particular scenarios. That being said, I think the 85mm might fall short more than the 135mm would be too long. It works here: But that is quite literally the only shot I'll get from that location without moving around and...

Following on from this thread: https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/wedding-togs-primes.584476/ I'm curious as to how many of you use primes at weddings, more specifically primes that are quite long (85mm+) My 70-200 died and I bought the Sony 135mm f/1.8 (I'm a Sony shooter, we've got to...

I prefer the originals if I'm honest?

Hi all, My trusty Sony 70-200 2.8 G is on its last legs, it's served me well for the past 5 years but is giving me a few problems now so I'm looking to replace it. I typically shoot with a 35mm 1.4 on one body and 70-200 2.8 on the other. I switch over to a wide angle for groups but for the...
