Love those short DOF shots...I've been really into those lately as well.

6, 7, 8 :thumbup:

Prefers more contrast in 6 though.

Great shots! Interesteing to see some stuff that I would call a little different from what I have come to know and love about your wedding photos (I guess that would be color!) Great stuff.

On a side note, how do you like the MiniSoftBox with E-TTL? I have had pretty mixed results and ALWAYS need to comp the flash output by at least 2/3 stop (otherwise I get severely dark frames :er: ). Did you get the same?

This is by far my favorite wedding series that you have posted. Original shots, great emotion and great composition.

I'm not a big fan of E-TTL. I hate the pre-flash; it causes too many blinks. Also with some people dressed in all white, and some people dressed in all black I find that I have to babysit the E-TTL flash all the time anyway. It's easier just to go full manual. Early in the day I test my flash with the softbox and the Lightsphere (big plastic diffuser that also bounces) to figure out the settings for 5', 10', and 15' in the main areas I'll be working. Usually I won't have to vari too much from these settings.
