Parker Wedding Photos (Long Overdue)

leave a comment »

I finally got around to editing the photos from Tori and Kevin Parker’s wedding today, which is funny since I also found out today that Tori’s pregnant–congrats to her! I’ve posted the edits here.

A few of my favorites:

What’s funny is that, even though I got some pics that I was pretty pleased with, they took _way_ more editing time than should’ve been necessary because they weren’t shot correctly. It’s kind of funny how much I’ve learned in the past half a year or so. Among other things I would’ve done differently, I would’ve:

- Increased in-camera saturation
- Reduced ISO
- Not shot with two of the three lenses I used (the 17-85 f/4-5.6 IS, which is WAY too slow even with IS and not terribly sharp, and the 50 f/1.8, which fails with a remarkable consistency to be sharp)
- Paid more attention to composition, especially visibility of faces and odd background objects
- Not fallen while walking around the Chapel balcony while everyone was silent (funny story, that)

Hey, you live, you learn, you correct what you can in Lightroom, and you do better next time.

Oh, and I still need to learn how to use Canon’s flash system properly.
