I sure wish I could of took the pics at my daughters wedding but
I was not breathing well enough by then to do so after all the last min running
couple with the air quality and the amount of time I was outside in public places
my breathing was a mess so I was shaking pretty bad
the young man my daughter found gave me the RAW footage and I am working on them but he did not ever flip the camera on it side to take a potrait shot
used a high ISO for some of them so having a hard time cropping even though it was like 100 degrees outside and yes we were ouside at 1 in the afternoon in Nashville, TN
not sure but if had not had this class would be pleased with them
(:
just a side note this dress is the one I wore and it was my aunts first so it is 54 yrs old
I sure wish one of you all could of come and helped us
but between his and my Mom's snap shot camera we have not done to bad
my only wish is thatt he would of followed my list so I do not have all the shots I wanted
but it was a super small wedding and not real formal
and was wondeful to experiance
- I will never try to take wedding pics for someone
to high pressured
I have more if someone just enjoyes doing this and wants more to work on more let me know
I would like to get them done a ssoon as possible
so help would be wonderful

THANKS

I am

LOL

anyway I am posting a couple if you want to pick and fix PLEASE DO SO
yes the young man gave me the rights to the pics so we can do this

Hi Sandra,

I played around a bit with the first one, not sure if it is what you were looking for or not. If you like it, perhaps you could send me the RAW file or the full resolution JPEG and I can try to duplicate this. There are two different edits, so I listed them both.

Sandra, If you want to PM me, I can send you my email. Then if you want to email me some full size images I can work on some for you. You will have to be a little patient with me as it may take a few weeks.

I like the first edit you did Eddie. I think a further work like taking that garbage can out of there, both locations, and cropping in is a must yet. In this shot anyway, the party gets a little lost in that large frame.

I agree Joseph
Thanks
I will PM you in a bit
I have cropped this one down on so it is a 8X10 portrait
Seemed to do ok
But some of you have so much more experience
Didn't you just have a little one Joseph?
Seems like yesterday this daughter was our little thumper
She is a miracle baby
I lost the first and had trouble with the two we got
All children are special but when you bare a still born you realize how special they are and that never goes away
Anyways I will send you a couple files
They did not got a pic of the family with my son
so if I could send you a couple maybe you could help me get him in one
it would be so appreciated
I am having trouble
Keep telling hubby, I am going to get something more than just elements but have not bit the bullet and got it yet
THANKS SO MUCH both of you!!

Had a go with the ones you sent me.


This one I just cropped in, Sharpened, Cleaned up a few posts which was behind them.

This one I pretty much just cropped and copied the background from the left side over to the right. Hide some of the identical features which that produced and then cleaned up the bottom of the frame where the bush was in front of the dress and trousers. I also removed some of the glare from the guys glasses and off of his face.

Let me know if they are any good and I'll email you the .tif files.

They are also edited to 8x10 but if the crop is wrong let me know. I can try blow them up big if you like also using Genuine Fractals?

Anyway, Let me know what you think to them or if you want anything else done.
