  I like to try to get a good masculine portrait of the groom mixed in with all the kissing/couples shots.

  Was searching through images and found this one from several years ago. Shot in the Galapagos Islands.

  @donaldjose love the image series you've been working on!
  The thumbnail of this picture kind of make Paris look like it has lava flowing through it

  I did something I'm not comfortable shooting, an engagement session. My Stepdaughter just got engaged and asked me to shoot some photos. I'll be posting a few over the next week and would like any critiques the forum may provide. Here's the first since it's a photo she liked so much.

  @autofocus: some tips: first, I would straighten the horizon. second, full body shots are generally best shot from about belly button level unless you are going for a specific look. third, I would bring them a little bit away from the wall and open up a little bit. This will allow you to keep the colors without having so much detail that it distracts from the couple. It's best if they are isolated. Finally, I'd light it somehow. With graffiti I personally love to throw a lot of light onto the paint and make it shine. There is also an interesting video on youtube called "Canon Speedlites with Photographer Joel Grimes" where he shoots against a painted wall with nice results. Do a search on it and take what you can from it.

  Thanks! All great points. Now, if I can just remember them... It was fun and there was no pressure from them. They chose the locations and asked if I would shoot. We are going to do another shoot next month so all the critiques I receive here will hopefully serve me well on the next go. I have a few from the other locations I'll post over the next couple of days and look forward to your ideas with them as well.

  This is my first effort with the D7000 [w/85mm AF 1.4D] and right away I realised the exposure quirks - it was way over exposed but I was able to recover by increasing contrast. The sun was behind the bush at around 30 degrees so in effect I was nearly shooting into the sun towards the subjects in shade. Due to cramped space, the bush is only a few centimetres behind them but it makes a great backdrop. I mainly use aperture priority and the first shot was done at f/4 I think. I have since reset the exposure compensation to -0.7 and it works much better in most situations. . . .more to come

  Here's a self-portrait from a brief outing in Pennsylvania, picking up a section of the Trail that I skipped ahead of in the summer. I enjoy using my silnylon umbrella + headlamp hung upside down as an overhead light in shelters. That and very little ambient light contributed to this shot...

  D800; N24-70mm @ 24mm ; f/16 ; 2 seconds ; ISO 100
  Accidentally left all my filters at home so had to rely on small aperture and low ISO to lengthen the shutter speed.
