    I photographed a wedding at the start of September for the son of a neighbour as a wedding gift, it was a real struggle, I only got to start the main photo's at around 5pm so the light was very poor on a very overcast day. Mostly the cast where very uncooperative so the group shot was a complete mess (most had been drinking since lunchtime :mad: )
    Anyway, bride and groom have chosen their shots and I've put together a DVD slideshow for them.
    You can view it here http://www.photodex.com/sharing/viewshow.html?fl=3040394&alb=0
    Its around 30mb in total size and you will be prompted to install an addon so you can view it in your browser. Let me know what you think of it so if necessary I can make changes before handing it over to B+G.

    Worked for me Steve.
    My biggest critisism is the shadows from the flash.
    I know you said the light was bad,so maybe that cant be helped.
    Did you diffuse/bounce the flash at all?

    Tried it a couple of times Steve without success. Problem may be that my PC is so well protected against 'nasties' that not many add-ons get through.
    Very sorry I can't comment.

    Steve,

    welcome to the world of wedding photography, I have had a look and here goes:

    Title page should read "were married" not "where married".

    your images at the start with the boys there is a drainpipe coming out of one guy,

    your use of direct flash is a big no no, it looks like there was sufficient light outside.

    image of lady with 2 kids, theres stuff on the bench,distracting!

    pictures of bride and car, why is the guy still standing in the background?

    A lot of pictures of people with their eyes closed and stupid faces.

    Your indoor pictures look noisy on my screen, what Camera/ISO/settings are you using?

    Some of your horizons seem to be out of kilter ie squint, but that could be my eyes.


    IMHO compared to some of the other stuff you have posted this was poor, however that may be due to the fact of being under pressure to get the job done under tight timescales.

    Hope this helps

    Alasdair :0(
