It's not a bad set, a couple of weak ones, but I really like the first three, especially the third one, all the lines are great.

I wonder what the b&g look like.

 

[imagemaker46]

Perhaps I should have said it's a good set, with only a few weak ones.

#6 guessing the mother, but the expression doesn't do it for me.
#7 I find that her nose being just that little out of focus is distracting.
#8 the microphone in the middle, takes away from the overall image.

The funny part is I specifically decided not to post any of the B&G just for you...I almost posted a set without any people in it at all.

But, since you asked...

I love the cake shot. Who needs people when you cake with a view!

Lol, I agree...

Yes, it is the mother. I loved the expression, but then I also got a chance to get to know her throughout the day. I can definitely understand how it could seem a bit akward.

#7 I find that her nose being just that little out of focus is distracting.

Yep, it's a new lens and I am still getting used to it. 300mm at 2.8 isn't very forgiving when it comes to DOF. Probably should have stopped this one down just a bit.

#8 the microphone in the middle, takes away from the overall image.

I wish I would have got a better angle on that one. It was the bride's uncle and he played Sinatra. It was an awesome moment and he played it really well.

Thanks for the feedback.

Anybody else?

Like I said before, the stuff you post is usually too much mash potato, not enough steak. No 1 & 2 are nice, but they are filler. Not something you would want to add to portfolio or showcase your wedding work. The portrait of B & G are too tight. You can't print that and frame it. There is barely room above the head. On the top of that, the processing is horrible. Why would you want the heavy vignetting bleed over their head?

You do understand that as an assistant, I shoot mostly filler, right? After both of us being members of this forum since 2010, I would think you would have been able to understand that concept by now...

In regards to the B&G, those were shots you specifically asked for. I didn't say they were great. I posted them because you wanted to know what they looked like.

I don't know why you don't understand that I am not trying to build a portfolio, or trying to make a 'steak'. I don't have enough time to run a wedding business. I am not great at post processing with consistency. I basically shoot filler to add to the album and I get paid for it. I am not sure why you take such offense to that.

I would very much appreciate it if your critiques were more towards the images I actually post rather than the images you think I should have posted.

Seriously, move on. Find another 2nd shooter gig or do your own thing. You have a full time job. You are not doing it for the money. All of 2nd shooting gigs and assistant job I have done, I was able to capture plenty of "steak". If I am not able to do that, there is no way I would shoot with that person again. All the people who have 2nd me have been able to capture a lot of good material.

So it sounds like you are doing it for the money. That does not sound anything like you mentioned a few months ago.

I have no need to move on. The clients like my shots. The person writing the check likes the shots.

I assist. And I sometimes post some of my shots here.

If you would rather see formals, then stop clicking on my threads. It really is that simple.

After a few years, you should know what to expect by now. Detail and fillers...
