ParticipantSad thing is, I actually like the bride’s pose in this one. If they would have shot just her (take out the bridesmaids), with some fill flash, it could have been a decent shot. What a wasted opportunity.
Participant@cameraclicker Thanks! Your son has a beautiful dog, and that is a great picture.
ParticipantThanks! On flickr when you click on the picture it has the share tab, I just posted the link and it put the picture on. Didn’t really do anything special.
ParticipantI used to use Paint Shop Pro (PSP) because it was so much cheaper than PS. It worked great for what I used it for. I liked the layers capability. Now I have the Creative Cloud on Adobe’s site. Since I use LR it is much easier to bounce between it and CS6, rather than PSP. The way I see it…use whatever editing program you want as long as you get a professional result from it. My dad does Art and he actually uses Microsoft Paint. Yes..I said Paint! Lol. I still tease him about it. I gave him my copy of Paint Shop Pro and he said all the controls were too confusing, and he would just stick to what he knows.
Participant=) Hey we all make mistakes.
ParticipantMy male Long-Coat Chihuahua, Renegade.
ParticipantActually, Paint Shop Pro is by Corel.
Participant@Nellygurl What a great clone job on that one of the baby…I’m assuming it was an arm holding the baby up. If she is gonna go that far, why leave the rest of the wood floor, and cord.
Found this one on SB’s site as well. What goes through this persons head that they thought the should clone out dad’s head…..yet you clearly see his body holding up the kid?! Someone PLEASE put this “FAUX” on the front page. This is just so wrong to charge people for this! My only hope is this was a family member who didn’t pay and they just did the pictures for “experience”.
Participant@dont.care wow…this one is so my favorite! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=522107537823936&set=a.522107497823940.130536.195885220446171&type=3&theater
What guy doesn’t love to be pasted onto a bright pink background with red hearts around it! It probably could have been a cute photo if they would have just left it alone.
ParticipantWhat a cutie! I grew up with chis. My grandma had 6 when I was younger (6 at once…). If I could talk my hubby into it we would have a greyhound also. But he said no more dogs til the ones we have, have lived out their lives. My oldest is 11. The rest are all 2 years and younger, so we are gonna have then for a long time yet. They are all my babies!
ParticipantI have so many chis because we used to breed them. So I know quite a few breeders. I am hoping I can talk them into letting me shoot some of their pets. Or possibly their pups (to use on their websites). My oldest son may also be taking my male to agility training, and do competitions. So I will probably be able to find a market through that as well. Thanks for all your feedback!
ParticipantI don’t, yet. Though now that I think about it…my sister does have a hamster that I could probably go borrow for some pictures. That’s part of the reason I put out a request for animals. To get the chance to photograph other animals, instead of the just shooting my dogs.
ParticipantWhat I said wasn’t meant to be a dig at anyone. I think it is great to be positive. I try and always see the good in people. My issue was more with the first half of my post. In which the photographer told the faux that it was a nice composition, when it was clearly not. I just don’t see how that is helpful. Not sure if I am coming across in the way I mean to. =) I guess, in my head, encouragement would be more tips and tricks to try vs telling someone nice comp. Idk. Maybe I am just being irrateable tonight. Lol.
Decided to include the link to the photo I was talking about. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=484994084872214&set=a.484993924872230.104641.396796253691998&type=3&theater
ParticipantYes, the wedding party was looking at her. I agree about the crop. I didn’t use a flash. Probably blown out because of exposure setting. Also, the sharpness was probably actually the clarity slider in LR. I was a little heavy handed with it when I first started using it.
As for the 2nd shooter being nervous on her own. According to what the main photog said. She had been interning with him for years. So idk about that.ParticipantBack before I did any weddings on my own a friend of my husbands asked me to get some photographs of her wedding day. She had already hired a local photographer as it came in a package she got with the chapel (which was also owned by him) but she had seen my work and liked it. Well the hired photog provided a second photographer. I did my very best not to be one of those pain in the butt people who gets in the way of the paid photographer. I explained to her (the bride) that I would take some ceremony photos, but for the most part would leave those up to her paid photog so I didn’t get in his way or ruin any of his shots. Well after the ceremony they did some shots at the chapel. I also didn’t take any there as I didn’t want to be a bother and he had the guests all head to the reception location (which was only a short walk across a bridge). They also planned on doing some outdoor shots with the wedding party. Well when they got to the reception location the main photog took the guys, and the 2nd photog took the girls and went separate ways. I joined the girls as the bride asked me to tag along for these shots. Well once the 2nd photog was alone it was like she didn’t know what she was doing. First she put the hot shoe flash on backwards and couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t working (I helped her out with that one). She kept posing the girls facing into the sun. I didn’t want to tell her how to do her job so I didn’t say anything (but the bride did). After she got about 2-3 different shots she seemed lost. My friend (the bride) asked if I had any that I wanted to do. So I started posing and snapping. Backing off when the paid photog seemed to want to take back over. But after I posed them she would step in and take a shot, then look at me to see what I was going to do next.
Here is a comparison pic if you are interested: http://flic.kr/p/dY4sie
Also, I should mention that at one point both paid photogs disappeared somewhere and as I was standing near the bride and groom, her best friend whom she hadn’t seen in almost 8 years (due to moving and long distance issues) arrived and I got the shot of the first time they saw each other. It was such a special moment with them hugging and crying. She thanked me repeatedly, as did her friend, when they saw the photo. Both said they will treasure the photo forever and were so glad I was there to capture it.
