Proud parents of the bride

[chris2471]

This is my aunt and uncle at their daughters wedding. Other than the fact that you can see me in the glass behind them taking the picture WHILE holding my beer, how is this shot? Is it too bright? Should it be cropped a different way? I'm still pretty new, and I haven't really taken that many pics of people lol.



Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi
Exposure: 0.005 sec (1/200)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 55 mm
ISO Speed: 400

A nice composition for a wedding shot is the full shot of their entire bodies, my only reall issue with this image is the white awning reflection behind the guys head, it's like his head has wings. Other then that I like the shot.

true.. but do both

Saturdays wedding they specificaly told me "forget the full length stuff.. we love headshots"



as for the pic,
i'd crop the space out on the side of the mother and clone your reflection out on the glass.
(a burning tool may even be easier)
if you really want to go all out, remove the white line (marquee reflection??) out from behind his head too.

Thank you both for your comments. I wasn't really doing any serious shots as they had a paid photographer.It was just running around snapping family members. I wasn't even thinking in terms of full length shots, but I will keep that in mind. I will work on the editing to try to remove the reflections. I have CS2, but I only know how to use a fraction of what it can do. Again, Thank you!!
