Two Years Later

Peanuts · Apr 5, 2008

Well I finally got out for a couple shoot again! Yes! Not to mention only a few more weeks of school and I am out for summer and back to photography. You don't know how happy that makes me :lol:

Anyways, I got to shoot this couple who were married two years ago and were looking for some sweet couple shots - and I was looking to build up my portfolio. Lots of fun roaming around one of the oldest standing neighbourhoods in Calgary and discovering some of those niche pockets that alone look quite dull but with a fun couple... works quite well!

Critique away. I really have to watch my shooting angles, so no need to critique on that as I have beaten myself to a pulp in that regard.

1. 24mm 1/800 f/2.8

2. 24mm 1/150 f/3.5

3. 70m 1/160 f/5

4. 24mm 1/140 f/5

5. 50mm 1/250 f/3.5

6. 24mm 1/500 f/3.5 (warped in PS)

7. 24mm 1/500 f/3.5

8. 24mm 1/500 f/3.5

9. 70mm 1/320 f/3.5

10.

11.

12.

13. Just a disclaimer. This is not my original idea so I can't take any credit for the idea behind this image. I have seen it on flickr

Wonderful work!! 11 is mantel-worthy! All the others are just great

Those are amazing shots! I would pay handsomely for some photos like that of my husband and I. I bet they had a blast doing those as well! Great job!

Peanuts · Apr 5, 2008

Thanks for the comments you three

Near they end they were great, he was a little skeptical at first but once we got going he got more into it

. They also got my last free session, after this I am starting to charge. Who-hoo. (As I clear a mound of business papers off my desk in a rage)

You are going to make so much money with your photography...you will be able to buy a house in Calgary :lol:

Seriously, your work is fantastic...keep it up.

A very enjoyable thread! Really creative, fun shots here that I bet they loved.

And congrats on the leap to 'paying customers' from here on in!! You're gonna be a big success, for sure.

Fantastic. Personally, #'s 6, 10, 11 and 12 are my favorites.

RowmyF · Apr 6, 2008

You've got some incredible shots here!!

#3,9 & 10 are my absolute favorites.

Thanks for sharing..I love your work.

#3 is the keeper of the bunch. It's all about her and how she feels about him ... I love this shot. Nice job!

I now prefer #'s 3, 6 and 10, after having viewed the photos on a different monitor. To this layman, the B&W ones really do stand out.

Fret not, I'll stop polluting this great thread now. :wink:

Ha! Maybe if I worked everyday for the rest of my life until I was 110 (as I sit here eating microwavable meals in a rented basement)

Thanks for the comments

Just perfect! I love these! I also love how you don't take claim for the idea in #13. It is a cool idea though, and you've executed it fantastically!

JimmyJaceyMom · Apr 6, 2008

Way too cool. I really like some of your ideas and its cool that you let us know that one was warped in PS I wouldn't have thought so I was thinking it was a lens.

I LOVE the one in the record store.

Good job, they look adorable.
