very pretty great job!!

2 comments.. on #4 had you used a white card or something to fill in the face a bit, to have just the hint of the facial features kind of how the dress looks It would make it look a bit more elegant and not just a black cut out. Don´t get #7 at all, I know you where probably trying everything, but it just does not fit in there. How did you find it fit into your edit?

Some great images...and, wow, what a location!

Thanks for the comments. She was actually pretty deliberately silhouetted, but I see what you are saying may have changed the image. For #7, it was also a deliberate shot. I also have her in focus with the metal blurred. Some people like this image, others won't. It is different for sure. I was experimenting. I personally like abstract images.

Great work, really like the look and location.

Haven't seen you in a while. Hope that's because you are crazy busy with business as I soon will be.

Those photos are way more creative than what I remember of your work. Has your work progressed this way little by little or did you just get lucky and get a creative customer this time?

I really like them overall. Some don't do much for me. I don't get #7 at all for example. As a stand alone artsy shot, yes. As a customer shot, no. But I love #1. Much more than #4 in which the view thru the glass is not that nice. Plus in #1 I like the clean panes next to the dirty ones.

My favorite though is #8. :thumbup:

And what a location!

Great series. Don't you just love a bride that say's "just go for it" with the shoot/ location!

Thank you for the comments. I think I have progressively gotten more creative in posing and processing. But, this location is simply wonderful, so it just begs for you to get creative. The bride is very artsy-fartsy too, so I played on a lot of creative shots for her as well as the more traditional ones.

Yup, she had to take her dress to a specialty shop to get it cleaned, but she said it was completely worth it!

beautiful images!

Moe · May 16, 2010

Wow. I really, really like these. I love the symmetry and lines in 12; how did you get the background so well exposed and not blown out, while keeping detail in her dress? Great job.

mbcreate · May 17, 2010

Great job!
My favorites are #1 and #12...:thumbup:

I have one that is more silhoutted with no flash, but this one, I metered on the background and then turned my flash on to TTL, bounced off the ceiling and turned it down I think .7 of a stop. I just messed with it until I got the exposure I wanted.
