Susan and Zac | A Farm | Engagement | A Blog Post

[D-B-J]

New blog post up. Still trying to figure out how to word it sounds it sounds genuine and such, as I'm still very new to BLOG writing. A good essayist is clearly not always a good blogger... well.. at least in my case.

Here's one of my favorites (that I haven't yet posted here), if you don't like links.

Pic is good as I see. Is the yellow in the lower foreground really a leaf?

Yeah there were some greenish/yellow weeds I used in the foreground to frame them [emoji12]

Pretty cool. Wide aperture, up close, and it almost disappears. I've done that with wire fences and got them to disappear but this is different.

I've started to try and incorporate some shots like this into my routine. If you look at my blog under the "Erin and Zac" engagement shoot you'll see some shots where I did the same thing but with flowers. [emoji106][emoji106]

Firstly, I like the image ... but ... I think it would be much stronger if it was tighter. But that's me and filling the frame is how I was taught. I've reviewed a ton of engagement type shots over the last year and many ... many of the image are shot very loose like the image above. Is that the thing now? Even though we differ on framing, you did a good job on this image.

I agree that it's framed loosely, and as a standalone image it would be way too loose. But it fits in the series well, as I like to have some loose and some tight [emoji106]

I don't think the leaf works. It's too blurry and just looks like a big smudge. I would use some flora that is farther away so it isn't rendered like that, or go with a higher aperture ->8 . Also, I don't think the framing of the couple with the gate in your article works, as it's basically chopping off his hand. I like the tree peek though.

Dam nice shot. Love the mood. Real countrified, and not just a cheesy attempt. Maybe tone down the yellow at the bottom. Ed

Yeah, I like the idea of the leaf but am not 100% sure about the execution. I do like the peek to. It's kind of a cliche photo but it's fun. And the chopping of the hand was tough. The gate didn't open that far and he isn't the most flexible so finding a comfortable position with perfect framing was tough.

Thanks for the input! You definitely highlighted some issues that I had thought of [emoji5]️
