First Wedding Pictures
Oct 17, 2011 15:03:22 #
OK...I am by no means a pro! I am learning to take pictures and I am learning to edit too! I did a wedding and am processing over 500 pictures.
I am trying different edits and teaching myself what looks good etc...
I would like to post a couple here and get some opinions and advice if you don't mind

#1 - why did you turn them orange? The white balance is way off, her dress has a blue tint and as I already mentioned their skin is an un-natural orange.
#2 - great concept, but it's underexposed. It looks like you exposed for the sky and as a result you underexposed the couple who should be your main element in the photo.

Your color correction is still way off. What post-editing software are you using?

they are too blue in the orginal. See the blue tint in her dress?
I really like this shot, it has potential. I'm at work (shhh don't tell) and I don't have photoshop here, plus this monitor is not calibrated. If you don't mind I'll have a play at editing it when I get home this evening.

Should I just leave it like this?
What I tend to do, and this is all personal preference, if I find a picture just can't get the coloring right I make it black and white, or sepia, or put some toning in there. But this is all completely up to you.

I'd use the Shadows & Highlights slider bars to tweak it a bit, and then just decrease the saturation a little bit. In my opinion saturated colors are distracting in photographs like these that convey strong emotions.

When converting to B/W you need to have the exposure and colours correct to get a nice conversation, coverting to black and white is not a quick fix. Believe me after playing around at trying to get a "perfect" black and white (still learning), I have learned if you start with anything less than perfection when it comes to w/b and exposure your black and white will come out looking muddy, flat and have tone issues.

This is true. I usually use the option where I can pick which colors it filters. Some pictures are better, if it's filtering green, others, red, etc. And some you can just hit b/w and it looks great!

Thank you! I have done that on a bunch of them.
I also found that the bride and ggroom like the antique look to some of the pictures, but I have been getting a lot of criticism from other photographers on them
