    I made a lighting mistake and have underexposure

    Hi everyone,

    I recently shot a wedding and I made a bad mistake with my flash. I had it tilted upward and as a result, I have underexposed eyes in some of the formals, which were shot after the wedding. I noticed it, but I don't know if the couple will or not. The rest of the shots were all fine. I am sick about it. Any advice? I did not shoot these in RAW format. Any advice of how I should handle this is appreciated.

    Bryan

    When you post the images, I'll be happy to offer specific advice. Until then, all I can say is that hopefully this experience has reminded you of probably the most important thing. ALWAYS SHOOT RAW.

    ALWAYS. ALWAYS. ALWAYS.

    I'll look forward to seeing your images.

    Why? I never would shoot a wedding in straight JPEG.

    Girl, I like that you don't have AIDS, and that you covered the rent when I don't get paid. The dinner that you simmer-sauté'd made it so I haven't been to Taco Bell in like DAYS.

    Many top pro wedding shooters shoot weddings as JPEGs.

    But, they are experts (professionals) at doing photography and editing.
