Had baptisms at my church last night (college-age church of around 300 people I think at the moment)...which are pretty great. I was the only person shooting last night because a couple were thrown on camera (video) and the other one was the guy in the first shot lol. Would like a little C&C (maybe ways to make the shots better, PP) and want to show it a bit too. Lemme know what ya'll think

1)

2)

3)

4)

5)

Last shot is obviously the band leader just thought it was a good time for a shot of him lol while people were climbing in and out of the tub.

The first one is a pretty powerful capture. It would have been awesome if he was facing you though. I still like it.

I like the band shot too...though that little blob on the right is distracting.

The other ones don't do a whole lot for me though.

Thats how I would react if I get an A!

Ya I definitely thought the first one was the best shot. People seem to agree with it. I'd have loved to get a head-on shot but with the other camera work going on (lots of video) it was tough maneuvering it all right. I wasn't on a headset so didn't know what they were going to do until they were doing it. They would try to give me a heads up but I don't read sign language...so didn't help much lol
