Very impressive! I love the color and the compositions and the sky and the exposure and everything else I forgot to mention!
You must have a really good camera (intended a compliment per your portraiture lessons).

Hi Brian,

Thanks :)

I was reading "what the duck" the other day where someone said "wow - your camera takes nice photos" to which he replied "thank you - your lips make nice compliments"!

That was exactly my intent Colin!

If you're keen, check it out here ... some very insightful stuff there - kinda like "the Simpsons, but for photographers".

Well I always have a favourite... :D
It is a tremendous series, one could get lost in admiring them all - but #1 and #7 are my picks
#1 without the extra contrast - the moody feel goes away a bit with Jeroen's edit - although it definitely looks better when viewed larger.
But #7 well and truly stands out from the crowd :D

LMAO.. A real good one... This surely will come handy. Its kinda irritating when the camera takes the whole credit & mention of PP makes people look down upon you.
To counter the first problem I had thought of lending my camera to the person for 3-4 days & asking them to show me some nice pics.

Thanks Kay,

By the way, did you see "teachers review" on your NSCP entry?

Yeah.

I think it's a bit of a problem with budget wedding photography where "cheapskate B&G" hire the cheapest photographer because "everyone knows modern cameras do all the work in making nice wedding photos" (and all those other togs are overpaid anyway)/ Infact, I think it's even worse when amateur photographers start to believe it too, when asked to shoot a wedding for a friend, on the cheap.

The WTD I liked was one that said "You either have a very blurry family, or a very unsharp photographer"!
