I had a wedding shoot last weekend. Here is one of my favorite shots. The rest can be seen here (http://chrisross.smugmug.com/gallery/3199393#176352446)

You got some nice shots there. Nice work.

You might want to check the one that's posted here - there is something across her forehead and nose, like maybe you tried dodging/burning or something. I didn't notice it on any other shot of her, so it may be something in post?

Ahh yeah, I didnt even notice that. I didnt dodge or burn the image, its just the way the lighting was... I think there was a partial shadow from the window nearby that was creating that flaw. I will have to go back and try to get rid of that. Thanks for the heads up.

chris is that a PP effect to blur the background in #8 of the first page or is it natural DOF ? it also says strobe detected, where was the lightsource ?

btw: do you always have your full save images available for download ? :confused: is that such a good idea in your game mate ?

Natural DoF, Lightsource was from my SB600 and diffuser bounced off white ceiling. As far as protecting my images, they are embedded with my copyright info in the EXIF, and lately I have been putting a small watermark on the bottom left corner of my web images with the help of lightroom. The only problem is that its not very big and hard to see. Part of my package deal with my clients is that they can come to my website and download their images at no extra charge. That way I can save costs on print. If you have any helpful ideas im all ears. Thanks!

so the sb600 was on cam ? very impressive dof.

RE: website, you can always password protect the galleries of your clients so only they can have access to the whole shoot of full size prints. then you can set up a gallery with your portfolio of selected pics to show prospective customers at lower res. (pretty sure you can even restrict the download of full size images ?).

not sure its too much to be concerned about with wedding pics cos they are not as commercially viable to anyone but the client but i have noticed lately alot of photography theft going on at both flickr and smugmug.
