I really have nothing to say other than to keep pushing the limits of your photography and your comfort zone.
Thanks Doug.... As I mentioned in Tony's thread, I don't think photography improvement comes in huge leaps and bounds at this point, but it is a steady polishing and improving. In that thread I mentioned figuring something out in terms of lighting... I really think it will lead me to some new areas and I can't wait to explore it.

Really nice set, Rich. I had no trouble getting your storyboards to render when I expanded them, but I have a pretty fast internet speed, if that makes any difference.
Was the one shot you were referring to from the reception the one with the lady with the thumbs up. That's the one that looked different to me, with a flash coming from just above and behind you to freeze her while dragging your shutter?
Anyway, love your work. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the kind words.
Nope, not the thumbs up shot... the shot that's different is the one where the bride is dancing with her grandpa... Notice the lack of ambient lighting in the room, compared to the the first dance shots. I had someone make a keen observation of our lighting technique compared to someone else last week... They said, "Rich makes it look like he has NO lights in the room.... Photographer X makes it look like his lights are the only lights in the room." I won't mention who photographer X is, but it is someone from here that is also frequently sighted as having good reception lighting technique... so that got me thinking, how do I get from one extreme to the other, quickly.... still capturing the style I'm known for, but also capturing the opposite... and I think I found a way to do so. In hindsight, I can actually cut the ambient even more. I had room to play with the aperture and it would have still exposed properly. This weekend will be the test.
