Hmm. I'm not 100% sure. Sorry to disappoint. My guess would be less clarity slider?
As for the wedding, lovely stuff mate. The bouncy 'henge' images are ace. Wicked fun! If I ever get married we are definitely having a bouncy castle! The portraits are standout as well. Simple, elegant, lovely. Of all the sets I've seen you post, probably a favourite!

You used the sun? hahaha
These are dope dude.
Someday we need to shoot a wedding together.
We would kill it.
Love the cheese cake, love the park with the crazy dressed up people. Love it all really.

I was going to say clarity slider too. That's the only thing that seems to be missing from previous sets from you. No kids in this one either. What the heck is going on over there?!

I'm looking over this set again and I'm not sure I realised on my first look through how much I like it. It's a terrific set, it oozes fun and happiness and it even looks like they borrowed SrrAlan Sugar's wheels. The colour is superb and while the b+W is a bit different in style than what I go for it looks fantastic in its own right. Hard set to criticise really. It just makes me smile!

Tony - Cheers for complement mate. I did pull back the clarity on peoples faces so that why you might be seeing that... good call but its more fundamental than that.
Doug - Haha, yeah like Tony you did spot something that was different, but alas I have seen a bit of sun last year... oh, take me to Nepal with you guys!
Al - Hahaha! We had a dog!
Doug Mac - Your fishing! Just trying to reel me in...
Sheri - Thank you very much, too kind.
Bri - Nope, couldn't work under those constraints. Cheers!
Ice Cube - Thanks man.
Masaookano - YOU HAVEN'T SEEN MY OTHER WORK? Whats wrong with you?
Josh - I just ran a TriX preset for the mono's after they were corrected in colour.
WELL...
It probably won't be much of a surprise for many of you guys but for me it was quite a different work flow from my previous ways.
I basically used only LR for these instead of running them through PS.
Although a couple of you guys did see a difference (not much it seems) I was hoping to retain my style without having to use PS...
Think it worked!
Cheers again guys for chipping in, noted and appreciated!

Interesting BK. It did cross my mind, but mostly I wondered whether you'd moved from Aperture to Lightroom or vice versa. As someone who isn't that familiar with the behind the scenes of your PP workflow I discarded this possibility! Still, what did you think? Was the experience a good one or a big adjustment in terms of approach/learning curve?

I kinda knew LR was always more than capable to achieve what I wanted but I just couldn't get certain things like mono conversions looking the way I pictured in my mind.
Alien Skin took care of that one.
I think I never really invested enough time with LR like I did with PS.
Taking images in and out of PS was too time consuming.
Using full frame cams and pro glass has also helped in regards to getting it looking solid sooc.
Many of you guys on here are pretty computer literate and I definately need to work harder than most to get where I want to be concerning post work.
I never purchased my first computer till I was about 26!

I was waiting to see if you would take the bait before I told you that I think these are great. One of my litmus tests is if the photos made me wish I was there, and I would have loved to have been with this group!
