Leen Koper & anyone else - I've uploaded my wedding photos

Here's the link:

They're not perfect, but the couple, their families and everyone I've shown them to loved them and that's all that matters, I guess. There's no fancy backgrounds or anything. Just regular shots. But it's my first wedding, using a basic automatic SLR with no tripod (so they might look a little unsharp), no flash gun, no reflectors, no filters and just a little work in PSE.

So critique away! Oh, and I know everyone has huge shadows across their faces. Maybe I should have used flash, I don't now. Or a reflector, as Leen suggested. I just dodged the worst affected faces, but there's probably a more effective way of getting rid of shadows.

Louise,

I couldn't open them. The link works but the PBase screen that comes up is black.

Louise, it still doesn't work. I've checked my gallery and it's working. It says you have 13 images, but no galleries. But when I look at the root, there's nothing.. :(

Still blank for me, Louise. 8^(

[Dick Smith]

Louise,

Working fine for me now.

LOL! I have no idea! I don't know what I'm doing.

[Louise]

Can't you say something bad about them, though? That's why I posted them. lol!

[Raymond Robillard]

Jodi, can you post the link again ? I can't see them :(

Ray

[Jodi Frye]

[Louise]

Thank you, Jodi!

[Raymond Robillard]

Thank you! It's working! And the little girl with the basket of flower (top row, right corner) is lovely! Nice pictures in general, this one in particular!

The 3 of the bride and groom are all natural poses. I didn't tell them to pose like that, I just managed to catch them like that.

[Louise]

Thanks Ray. :o) You mean the colour one? Pity she didn't hold her head higher. We were all shouting to her "Put your head up!" :o)

[Louise]

The one of the bride, groom and bridesmaid - is it obvious that the bridesmaid has been pasted on, or can't you tell?

[Pete D]

Louise,

They really are very nice.

I just downloaded the little girl with the basket of flowers (B&W) and was
looking at it in PSE.

Have you tried using "levels" adjustment on this one? I found that
adjusting to 13 - 1.6 - 200 gets rid of a lot of the shadows and the girls
face becomes very clear.

As I said earlier I'm on a laptop, and worst, the laptop is displaying in 16 bits (missing a great deal of colors) and the details level is not that good. But so far, they look wonderfull, all of them!

[Louise]

Thanks Pete, thanks Ray.

Pete, no I haven't tried that, but I will do, thanks!

[Louise]

Oh wow, I see what you mean. But it looks beter if I burned the face back to what it was like before, as it looks abit washed out after being dodged.
