i think is pretty good for a first time

I think you have some nice photos over here. I like No 13. But I find the watermarking very interesting. After looking for a while, I began to "hunt" for your watermark... It is like a game But I cannot find for some of them. Eg No 5

Anyway, keep shooting

[Duser]

Love the photos. What are the lense you used?

[armchairsurf]

Thanks, I liked No3 too but felt lack of postprocessing on that shot somehow.
Watermark on No.5 ah? I just realised I missed out my watermark in that shot. HAHA

hahaha for 5, the bridegroom licked the watermark off.Too creative already. Anyway these are pure brilliance. I hope I can achieve such standards on my debut wedding shoot. I love the contrast and darkness when needed. The monochrome brown tones work wonders too. Do you step up the exposure on these shots to get the contrasty feel then play around in PS?

18,21,14 and 4 are outstanding.
I don't quite favour the processing on 3 though. nyeh

Please tell me you dont use flash for any of these shots. I hope i can create magic without flash Anywho, which camera do you use?

Hi Velasco,

U are right on that, he licked it off haha! Thank you for your kind words thou.
Actually I just shoot on AP mode, but will post process it over a stop then pp in ps to get a higher contrast..

No.3 was actually a reasonably well exposed shot, I did that pp cause I wanted something more graphic. Guess it didn't come out well enough...

I used flash on MOST of e shots with the round domed gary fong's diffuser (cant rem what u call tt)
Embarrassingly, I shoot with a D700. Yes, I am kinda MWC (man with camera) haha.

* I give high credits to the good camera and lens which I am using, that provided the image sharpness and etc...

haha no probs. giving credit when they're due. The diffuser is for external or pop up, cause i remember the gary fong one is using the popup flash, if it is so , you are giving me hope. hehe. say no to external flashes.

wow d700. never mind you did justice to the cam. good luck in your future shoots.
