Been away

nichpr · 13-03-2008, 15:46

I've been away from the forum for a month or so helping with a family wedding. This was the first wedding I've had the opportunity to shoot. Fortunately, I was not the "official" wedding photographer and had the freedom to do more creative stuff. I plan to take advantage of the Pixalo Photo book that I won a few months ago to put my best images together for the bride. BTW, its good to be back.
Here are a few:

Welcome back!

That last with the ring is superb...what a fantastic idea!

**Dabhand16** · 13-03-2008, 16:21

Welcome back

Really nice set with #1 a fav, but you ought to patent the ring shot - it is just excellent

Well thought out and executed.

Great set, that ring shot is stunning - the shadow is fantastic

Charlotte · 13-03-2008, 16:36

Welcome back Paul, what a great set! And that last shot is very clever indeed

Did you discover that by accident, or had you seen it before? (the shadow, I mean)

Charlotte, I have to admit that I saw this shot done with a ring in a bible. When my niece asked me to be the second photographer at her wedding, I started looking at wedding sites and images and came across the bible shot. Funny thing was, I couldn't get our bible to stay open with the right angle in the binding so I started looking for other books and found a book of quotations. "Matrimony" seemed to be a fitting subject for the background.
Thanks for your kind comments.

Great stuff there Paul, good to see you've been using your time away productively.

I saw that ring technique used once before but you've done it better. It has come out superbly well, I am definitely going to give that a try as a frontispiece for my next wedding album

Welcome back, good to see you again.
Cheers,
Rob
