love #4 and the way you use that 35L, man

the rest is just a fluid set-you always tell a story so well and that's what i love-you seem to stay away from stand out shots as it might take away from the flow of the day (maybe my take on that is way off) but i dig it-as always, beautiful set

p.1 #4 · Wedding w/Sam H :: 28 pics

10,19 and 27 appear to have missed on the af a bit...not much but as in no10, if the whole pt of the shot was selective focus...then that point needs to be good and sharp...

19, if the hands are the focal pt, then they should be sharp, conversely if the eyes are sharp...then they should be in the shot.

27 the narrow dof is a nice tool, but the eyes have to be the sharp pt...it appears its front focused slightly...only slightly...but thats actually pretty typical of the issues I often had with canon, many of which have vanished since switching. Not trying to turn this into a brand debate, only that this is a perfect example of this issue. Folks who dont shoot wide open likely would never even know there was any issues with the focusing, but when 1/2inch is all you've got, it needs to be in the right spot. I used to shoot this sort of shot 3-5exposures to ensure one was actually on the eyes....now i get 3-5 exposures with the eyes sharp.

Oh wow, 13 smokes dude. Crap, I should have done the same thing with the guys. My favorite in this set from you I think. 26 is a close second, awesome! Was that on the dance floor? I love it. My other favs are, 3,7,8,9,16,17 and 22 and 25.

What lens was 25? That couldn't have been 35L. You had to have been wider, no? hey folks, that was the sister to the bride in 25 who caught the bouquet. from Tony's shot, it looks like she's single. That was her legs in my set. **gets weak knees**

I love the shot you got of me. Don't get that too often. Funny back story on why I was posed with that random guy at the wedding. He thought I was trying to get a shot of some girls butt on the dance floor. I was doing the blind faith shot with the camera real low without looking through the viewfinder and he thought I was tring to get an underware shot. Yeah, no joke. Funny guy.

Thanks again Tony. Much love for Miami dude.

Great photos.

Love all of them, especially #13

A couple comments though:

#10 is OOF on the flower but in focus on the suit which I think misses the effect. Either a greater DOF would be desired where the flower and the flaps were entirely in focus or just the flower in focus as that's where the eye lands leaving the suit a bit OOF and part of the background.

When I first looked at #14 I thought of American Gothic only with a smile, maybe not the best look for a bride

but if she likes it then it's a great photo.

Great stuff. 2, 5, 13, 17, and 27 are my favs. I always like your WB and color in all your photos, and these are no exception. Also, the girls in 23 and 25 look hot. Looks like you and Sam have some great complimenting images. Only critic would be with what abacus stated above on 10... but other than that, great set.

13 is a fave of mine too, 17 is a great one too but could use some color correction, not a fan of the expression of the bride in #9. Overall great stuff, you two make a dynamic duo.

Dan, that's actually the 24L. I used it early, because I knew Sam was going to hog it later. Thank you.

I may know what you mean. I've been thinking that my last few sets have been solid, but that there was nothing really exceptional. I may have plateaued.

Thanks guys. I think I have more oof shots than usual in this set - and if I had to blame anything (other than the regular hazards of shooting at 1.4, it would be the 5D and the 24L. I believe they are the two worst of my body-lens combinations in terms of focus accuracy. I try to cut dowen to 1.8 or even 2.0, but on the 5D, the 24 and 35 really get nice glow around the edges that disappears after the first stop. I end up missing that too much.
