Caught these of my neice and her friend on their big day, appreciate your thoughts / feedback….
i like the first, if maybe sharpened and lost the contrast. the second… has a eerie green colourcast and the softness (noise reduction software maybe) makes her look like a doll, again a little too contrastly for my taste, lovely shots just the pp i’m a bit put off by
The green colour cast spoils them for me. Try dropping the green saturation down most of the way I’d say.
Thanks guys, see what you mean about the green hue on the second. Have re processed to come up with the following ….think it an improvement. The 1st I kinda like as is (no offence :-)
My point of view
1st – white balance, using a f9.0 with a ISO 100 in dark condition is not a good idea, try ISO 400 and f4.0 (for cannon 40d)
Your shuter speed 1/100 for 50mm ? try use 1/60 for a lens 50mm in dark cond.
Take a photos in this condition without flash is very hard, but when you get one right it will be outstanding!
You use a good place for models (side lighting) but in my opinion you did not take a chence.
2nd-main mistake out of focus, hard to be fixed.
Sorry for direct critique, but as i know it might help.
You probably put it into your account next time, even if you do not like it:)Thanks guys appreciate the feedback, all feedback is good feedback in my opinion. Unfortunately I had very little time to get more adventurous as the girls were on their way to the church and mammy and daddy were sweating! :-)
Photosligo, In relation to snap 2 its not actually out of focus at all the cross processing and (moreover) JPG compression makes it look soft. The second attempt at the second was sharpened slightly before JPG compression which looks a little better. Never quite know how much to sharpen before JPG compression (without over doing / underdoing) is there a general rule of thumb on this?
Also when you say “”in my opinion you did not take a chence.” what do you mean? do you mean to try another lighting set up?
Right, you probably just do not sharpen it after resize to smaller image.
After resizing an image is blured you need to sharpen it at end of whole process.
when i said you did not take a chance I was thinking about nice light you had, and you can use it better.Hope you will not kill me ,just tried PS with your photo:
