I've just photographed my first wedding for very close friends. I used my digital camera along with a flash gun. Some of the photograph's were dissapointing but I've learn't alot from them! The next few were the strongest. I used Adobe Photoshop to spruse some up abit.


This one is my favourite, it has a magazine advertisment feel to it. I love how the light falls on Sam's face and how the whole image is softly focused. It was windown frame was slightly darkened to create stronger framing around her. The pose is natural as she was unaware at the time.
The one below was one I took for some humour! Opposite to Tesco's was the town clock which created a fantastic background feature.















These photo's above are my final images that I have chosen for my Final Major Project at college. I used my Canon 40 D Digital SLR. I experimented with a technique called HDR, which stands for High Dynamic Range. This is where you capture the same image three or more times using different shutter speeds. The images are then combined to create one image that has a range of highlights and shows detail in the shadows. I decided to photograph in a rural environment and capture tree forms and landscape. They were all taken on couple of long walks around North Yorshire, specifically a village called leyburn. The images are in order from the start of the journey and on return (from top to bottom).
