Creative photography

[bdery]

I recently attended a wedding (both bride and groom close friends of mine). Actually there were two ceremonies, a cambodian wedding in the morning, and a catholic cerenomy in the evening.

I was not the dedicated photographer, so I decided to go for candids and less common shots. curiously most shots turn out much better in monochrome. C&C welcomed as always!

Here is the gallery:

They are a fine bunch of shots! Pretty soon you'll be doing it professionally.

The only thing I think I would have personally done differently is the partial of the wedding cake. I would have focused on the flower so it was sharp with the background with the shallow depth-of-field.

For those considering taking wedding photos like bdery, here is an excellent article with a number of useful suggestions:

Thanks for the comments Gail. You are right about the wedding cake, I took other pictures with different apertures to vary the depth of field, but this one came out best.

Someone told me elsewhere that my B&W look drab. I looked at them on another monitor and it seems the new LCD I use for editing is not properly calibrated. I used the calibration software that came with it but the images look brighter on other screens. It shows the importance of proper calibration (something I have yet to do...)
