First Wedding!! Using the 24-7mm L lens

Raian-san · Nov 4, 2011

Just finish filming and photographing a City Hall Wedding. Recently got the 24-70mm and first time using it. Tomorrow will be the traditional ceremony so I thought I go home, pick a few to edit and show to get some critiques. Only had 20 minutes with only the couple, the rest are just group and family photos. There's more but just wanna post 3 for some feedback. Thanks :thumbup:

P.S. I love this lens, finally enter the world of L lenses.

1) Does the grain work here?

2)

3)

#1) The red socks ruined it lol. But I really like that one.
#2) The smile from the bride is not as natural as the smile in #3.
#3) What more can I say?

#1... Grain is ok... But I'd check the white balance.

White balance looks fine. Is your monitor calibrated?

I thought it was just from the wall lamp adding the glow. Dress and skin tones look good on my monitor as well.

Thanks for the respond guys, I have more photos here Flickr: Nebulous Dream Productions' Photostream I know the policy here so I didn't wanna spam with a lot of photos. What I notice is there's quite a lot of grain being 800 iso and up. I'm quite new to Wedding photos, it's a lot of fun to do. I usually film, but I do offer photos if they book video as well. I did very minimal editing on all those photos, all with LR. I know the 2nd photo has a awkward pose, I just wanted to showcase the amazing sharpness and colors of the L lens. I'd contacted the couple to allow me at least 30 minutes of formal shoot tomorrow before the ceremony so I can have time to focus. Today was just so crazy handling film and photos and everything at City Hall is a rush.

I'll post some more photos tomorrow. :thumbup:
