you are exactly right- that is what happened!!

Does it work with lightroom

thank you for your edits - very nice job!

Wow - what a difference - wish I had those changes before I gave the photos to the bride! I have lightroom but have to get photoshop. Thank you - that is amazing and huge difference!!

Yes, I did - thinking that the flash will be a fill light - would a flash on a bracket above the camera do the same thing?

I have to tell you what happened - forgot my camera in a friends car - took it out to take a quick shot on a road trip - when we got home - did not realize i didnt put back in camera bag (bad me!) well next day realized my bag was empty of camera and had only lens so called friend to get camera back immediately (day without camera like day without sunshine)
she returned it three days later and two days before a wedding shoot and put in same bag with my powdered creamer! yeah, you guessed it - my camera was white and so was i when i saw it, took right to camera shop but have not had professionallly cleaned - but those spots are from that no doubt.
thank you for noticing - never saw it!

thanks - great perspective!

Thank you so much - will keep that in mind next time I have those lighting conditions - thank you!

Beautiful shots - especially like the 1st one!

Thank you - downloaded the wrong photos but need critique on many of them. Thanks for your positive input - but dont be afraid to tell me what is wrong as well.
Thanks so much!

Wow - that is much much better! Thank you! Never even thought to do that - but makes big difference - thank you!

You are right - I have lightroom but dont have photoshop yet, so that is something I will have to do after getting photoshop.
Thank you so much!

Please anyone else wishing to give pointers and critique - would very much appreciate the honest opinions.

Oops - looks like I got my niece where I thought I had Colorado
and the clouds where I thought I had another couple - oh well, does not matter - please critique these guys instead!

I have been using this forum for three to four weeks now and love it. Have learned so much from so many talented people. Decided it is time to be critiqued on some of my photos. I just grabbed three from the archives, but not necessarily favorites, just ones I thought were okay - want to know whats wrong with them and have learned a great deal already from watching the critique of others photos - time to get some help with mine.
Thank you so much. Hope I know how to do this now!!

A july wedding
