Kerb's 'Best of 2011'

[Kerbouchard]

Keep pointing fingers George. I know several people who can't stand your attitude either. Can't just blame me. Maybe those pros need to grow thicker skin.

Dude, I didn't point fingers. Heck, I even thanked you for the time you put into your posts. What more do you want?

 

[GeorgieGirl]

:cry:...sorry to hear that you guys are still having a hard time with one another.... I hope that you can keep the past in the past. Fingers crossed.

 

[Kerbouchard]

Hmmmm

Care to explain? Maybe you should CC mine.

If you have any photos where the main photog let you within 150 ft of the Bride and Groom, I would be happy to C&C them. As is, there is nothing to critique. It's a bunch of posed shots from too far way.

OH.... everyone loves Georgie. Hug! Maybe that is your problem. You think what I said is complete crap. Post these photos on a forum where there are actually tons of wedding pros and see to your self how they respond. I am sorry, I love TPF but how many wedding pros do we have that visit and post regularly?

As Tee mentioned, these same shots were posted in multiple forums. This is the only one where it went haywire...

Man Schwetty....do you have ANYTHING nice to say? Damn. Most of it wasn't even constructive, it was just rude. People like you are the reason I don't post photos that often here anymore. Nothing constructive to say, just running off your mouth because you think you are better than everyone.

I happen to love detail shots, and think most of these are great. Some of them are a tad underexposed, in the one with the car and the rings on it, the car does overpower the shot, but there is nothing you can do about the color of it. Perhaps maybe a different placement of the rings would have made it a little better?

Don't stop what you are doing, if you like details, do the details. The bride and groom will want to remember their day, and those are a huge part of their day. Great job, look forward to seeing more from you in 2012.

He PM'ed me wanting a CC. I was just going to post my 1st post. Then the PMed me wanting a CC. What do you want me to do?

"He PM'ed me wanting a CC. I was just going to post my 1st post. Then the PMed me wanting a CC. What do you want me to do?"

Not be so douchy about it. Critique can be given without the "Definitely not the best of 2011" or "boring" and particularly without adding that last line. For example, I just left you some CC on every one of your best of images, without being a douche. Constructive, and honest. You are still only in your first year of wedding photography supposedly and aren't even the first shooter most of the time, so where do you get off bashing someone for details shots and such when you yourself do not have all that many of the bride and groom, and don't have many that are close up at all? Get off your high horse. We are all here to learn, and what you may think is the appropriate way to do things may not be for someone else's specific situation. There were a lot of photos of Ker's that you hated or said weren't Best of, but I think the bride and groom would love them.

Not getting caught up in the drama going on in here...

But the one thing that I wanted to throw in.. Invest in a full set of roscoe gels for your flash kerb.

I totally agree that the flash is too obvious in some of the shots and it would be great if you'd thrown on a CTO in a few of them so your flash matched the warmer ambient room.

The cropping and watching your backgrounds has already been mentioned, so I won't go there.

Overall, I like most of the set but I'd like to see some more non-detail shots. I don't mind detail shots but I would have preferred to see a wider variety of your work for sure.

I'll post some more examples. I think Cindy isn't going to post here anymore because of Schwetty so I'll probably start posting the weddings we do. I just don't edit many of my files, so they are all just sitting on harddrives. Cataloging, organizing and editing my photos are something I need to get better at.

FWIW, I agree with you on geling the flash, but it's actually one of the few rules that I do have. I'm not allowed to.

That's the weirdest rule I have ever heard. But I guess she would want the photos all consistent with hers so it kinda makes sense.

Her reasoning on it is, like you said, consistency. Her and Mike shoot Canon and I shoot Nikon so there is already a white balance discrepancy. She just feels that adding a gel will complicate things futher. Since she's the one that has to process the images, it's her clients, and at the end of the day, she's the one writing me a check, so it is what it is.

If I were shooting solo, I would probably use gels.

You know what Kerb, you have spent too much time doing two things.

1) Making sure that we know you have shot with Cindy and have been commingled to the point that you lost your identity.

2) Busted Schwettys balls by repeating old drama about Cindy.

If I thought what she did here with her stalking post was in poor taste, you are a close second in keeping it going like her puppet.

There was one group of excellent photos, the rest just ok.

You guys go and do your weddings...Schwetty can single handedly can kick both your asses with his candid portraits.

There you have it, I've been decent enough with the bull crap published until now, but that's about all I am going to take anymore.

 

[Kerbouchard]

I think you misinterpret pretty much everything. FWIW, I mention Cindy when I post these because they are her client's images...not mine. It's just a matter of giving credit where it's due, that's it.

In any case, this thread isn't about Cindy, and it's not about Schwetty. It's about some of my favorite shots from 2011. If you don't like them, fine. If you don't like the way I post, I recommend you use the ignore feature of this forum.

As far as what 'you are going to take', I couldn't give a rats behind. It's amazing how little your opinion matters to me...especially after all of your drama filled threads. 'My Edits are NOT OK to EDIT'...geez, that one was a classic.

I don't mince words. If you want to put yourself in the class of others you refer to, then please do so. Perhaps that is exactly where you belong.

Yeah, no. Cindy is not my leader. Sorry.
