ok so there was no room to move and no room for back light so i shot these, and they are very happy but i am not, were did i go wrong with the black and white one? Am i getting any better at this .
yes i though that and it did print a little brighter, they were very happy and have even ordered some for there mum and dad, i would just love to get that killer shot, i will keep trying
I commend your attempts and your attitude (of wanting to improve).
My Simple Suggestion: Post the photos along with some basic shooting and lighting information with each image.
Indicate the type of light (source) the lens focal length used, the shutter speed, the ISO, and any PP you may have done (raw out of the camera or something done to exposure). This information is crucial to understanding what factors may have caused the image to look like it does.
For example, your posted image looks "flat" to me (in the skin tones on the faces of both people). Yet I see a bright catchlight in their eyes. So...I assume you used a flash of some type. But...the faces look almost "monotone" in tonality and hence "dull."
Post more info and it will help us to help you.
And...if you sense a "weakness" in an image, point that out specifically and ask for solutions to the "weakness" as that helps focus the comments on the areas in which you are trying to improve and already know you have a weak spot. Otherwise, you might wind up with comments that fail to address the obvious or only address the obvious.
i used 2 flash heads , one with a soft box and one with a brolly. the liht to the right of camera was twice as powerfull as the on to the left,
the lens was the canon 24 to 70 2.8 and was used at the 70 end at f11 at 125th of a sec and was shot in raw.
the pp was to soften her face and sharpen he eyes, his spots were taken out.
as for weakness, well they loved them, but i feel that is cos they were the best photos of them so far and not cos they were the best photos that could be done,
I will be shooting there wedding and dont want to cock that one up.
you know they must not of done, they were both on but i did get a few misfire over the shoot, and i know i could of done with having the lights higher but i did not have the room to do this,
it was a good job the customer loved them r i would never make a living
