Carlingford couple… another for my 50mm project.
-
em, if I was the happy couple (a difficult concept)
I might be flicking through to see what the next one looked like-
Maybe that’s not the point of this shot, I don’t know,
but they have gone to the trouble of getting all dressed up-Technically very nice, as usual,
but it seems to be taken just as they’re getting ready for the shot-
Formal informal, or the other way around?j
Nice shot Rob.
I like the contact between the couple and the brides expression. I think the only thing the main thing that would keep this from being a keeper for me is the grooms expression, he looks a touch….
confused maybe?I find myself being influenced in my thinking by the comments that have already been made, so I’ll reserve my feedback to a technical elelment. Looks to me like it’s about 1/2 – 2/3 stop underexposed. A little extra expsoure would have helped make this image sparkle, IMHO.
I like the shot and the composition of the couple to one side
to take in the flowing veil. It’s a fine image technically, but the expressions on both… well thats nothing to do with your 50mm project :wink:Pat
The faces a bit dark,
pose, fixing the veil, fine.
gorgeous dress!
The rail, an avoidable [removable ?] distraction.I suspect that the slightly under exposed faces are a results of exposing to keep detail in the sky, which you’ve done admirably and the fact, as you eloquently put it, this was a “sly” shot and I’m assuming the use of fill flash would have given the game away.
Has it given you the urge to do a full wedding then Rob? :wink:
Seems a touch under expossed but I like it.
Your making good progress on your project Rob.Jim
Many thanks for all the comments here so far…
To address a couple of them..
Joseph, you old cynic you… I might be flicking through to see the next
one too, but of course that’s not the point of this shot. I mentioned in another
thread that this week is a bit of an experiment for me; one camera, one lens,
no other kit, no tripod, no flash, not even a bag. The shot is of course an
opportunistic one; I wanted to post to as many critique forums as possible in
the space of one week with my limited gear, and ‘Weddings’ was one of those
I didn’t expect to get a shot for, along with ‘Fashion’ and ‘Art Nude’, but the
opportunity presented itself. I didn’t want to get in the way of the official
photographer, so this was just a quick one while she was directing the happy
couple to adopt yet another hackneyed pose. I might have even posted this as
a street candid (if I hadn’t taken it at the harbour…). Informal formal is right
I suppose…It is a little underexposed, I agree, and still looks that way despite some delicate
dodging of the groom’s face. As for his expression, well, unlike me, this is his
first time around; I think that gives him the right to feel a little overwhelmed… ;)Rob.
