Didn't know where

to put this and please refrain from telling me. I'm having too much of a problem already.

Next weekend I'm supposed to maybe, possibly shoot a wedding (old style). I'm just going drop by and shoot the families and wedding party shots. I'm sure there will be a ton of digitial camera there to capture everything else.

So what I have agree to do is to shoot the groups and then give her the files of the groupshots in a resolution suitable for up to 5x7. She can take the files to the kiosk to make copies. Anything bigger I will make for a reasonable cost. Okay all that is fine and good, but I also plan to give her one of these. It is an 11x17 mini poster lazer print on heavy gloss stock. Since these are cheap to make and it will let her walk away with an easier mind that I did shoot something suitable it should work out pretty well. Any comments I'd be happy to hear. By the way these images are from a wedding I did about a month ago because they couldn't find anyone and I felt sorry for them.

I had to drastically lower the resolution on the smaller pics to get them on the poster. After seeing them here I might have to rethink this.

Highly recommend getting a close-up of the couple to go in the middle of such a layout.

Very good idea I agonized over that one. Of couse she looks about ten times better than they did as a couple lol...

 

[deanimator]

LOL

That´s too often the case!

I htink so too. Unless you were doing one that contained all pictures of the bride type of theme. That collage is a neat idea.

Maybe unstead of lowering the resolution on the small ones, could you crop a close up of an individual or the couple? That way there is less of the church and more of the expressions of the people.

Maybe this is just the digitizing effect but there seems to be a lot of color noise and a magenta cast in the main picture.

I would try running this through a de-noisifier (like Noise Ninja). (I would be happy to do this for you if you don't own one. Just send me the file)

I think this is what Travler had in mind.....

Hope no one is offended.

I wish I had done that before I had it printed. I have a noise thingie in one of my editors but I didnt even think to use it. Too many years shooting film. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[JimmyJaceyMom]

I love how you called it a 'noise thingy' LOL! I call everything a thingy. lmao

 

[NJMAN]

Nice cleanup on the noise PNA!

 

[mysteryscribe]

yes it is very nice what did you use... Im curious... I'll trade you a handful of shiny beads for it.

BTW, I only did the bride, not the rest of the shots.
