Hi everyone

I did a recent wedding and was tasked with getting some incidental images as second tog on a wedding.I had to get candid shots of the bride and groom taking their bows and doing the speeches but all the time I was taking the shots this little girl kept popping up and jumping around like a mad thing.I had twenty shots ruined by her trying to take shots of the best man,bride,groom etc.Her Mother sat about five feet away from me and just grinned like a demented fool.She must have seen what a problem her little girl was yet she did nothing and I couldn't exactly say go away because you are ruining my shots!!!

Later the woman came over and asked to see the shots I had taken!!!! the shots consisted of fifteen kid like blurs and two good uns.She asked me if I would let her have a copy of the images and send them to her. Being a nice person like I am,I couldn't help but say yes.



Here's one of the two that turned out okay...mainly because she wasn't jumping at the time grrrr

all the best

I do like the second one Not sure about the first, may be a different crop would help?

[Kenny]

Thank you for the reply Chris.I do agree that the first one might benefit from a crop...like chopping her head off...only kidding LOL...

she was a little dear really...once she had left the room

I may have a play with the shot afterwards when I have the time.

Kids are awsome to tog at tweddings, these are fine examples of kids having fun, but go easy on the vignets kenny, the fade to pale IMHO does not work. Go for a much larger feather and fade to black etc The pale vignets work well with High key subjects only really.

Thanks for the good advice Rich. Im not that up with PP on wedding stuff as I dont tend to PP many of my images and this is a learning curve for me.All going into the old bonce though for future reference.
