Check out this sweet image I found in the Friends of Pink Ink Studios Flickr group, by the lovely Desiree Hayes. From the great black and white conversion with a touch of vintage, to that *amazing* sunflare – I’m totally in love with that flare – she sure captured a sweet moment and made it even sweeter. Here’s some info from Desiree:
• Where was the shot taken? At a destination wedding in Issaquah, WA
• What camera settings did you use? manual ISO 160, 28 mm lens at 1.8, shutterspeed 200
• What gear (camera, lens etc) did you use? Canon 5D 28mm 1.8 lens
• What was your lighting set-up? wedding reception, about an hour before sunset
• Why did you compose the shot as you did? They were laughing and making jokes about each other and I loved their expressions.
• What post production work have you done on the shot (if any)? In LR I used a preset called B/W vintage (dont remember which set it’s from though) and then in photoshop I added a bit of a blueish tint and did USM of 14/40/3
• What were you hoping to achieve with the shot? capture memories of their day for their wedding
• What do you love about the shot? the expression. I don’t care one bit about “breaking rules” if you can capture the “moment”
• What background info or story was there when taking the shot (or before or after)? One of the bridesmaids made a joke about her husband (standing next to her) and it was sort of a funny insult. Everyone instantly cracked up. LOL
Great shot Desiree, and thanks for sharing!
