I was at a party with an old Nikon D80 just to get a few shots for my friend. I brought the camera because there were a lot of kids present, and I didn’t feel like bringing the big equipment. Casual. Not a professional anything by any stretch of the imagination. A woman comes up to me, sees the camera, and says, “Oh my gosh, you have got to shoot my daughter’s wedding!”

I kindly told her I’d love to, however she and her daughter should see my actual finished work taken with professional equipment, and be thrilled with it before making any decisions.

It shows you how the general public has no clue what a professional grade camera even looks like. If it is black, and has a lens bigger than a golf ball, it must be amazing. It must make me the awesomest photographer on the planet. Ha!

I enjoyed the colors in the photos. I sort of agree with the other poster about the road placement, and perhaps your art would be improved by not having everything in the dead center of the photo. Cropping different ways may help, but you’ve filled the field enough so that probably won’t on these two. If I were you, I’d play around with placing the camera on the subject at different angles – perhaps off to the side of the road a little, so the focus of the shot doesn’t look like it’s on two different aspects of the same picture.

That said, beautiful family. Keep up the “playing around” it’s a good way to improve your technique. 🙂
