i think both of the shots are screw ups...... they look like snapshots..... it looks like there was no thought, creativity, or effort were put into them. just my opinion
Aw leave her alone guys. Its a matter of personal opinion. I think they are both good shots. As far as the stealing the photographers shot, Ill leave that alone, being as I am not a wedding photographer and have no room to talk, hehe :)
I took this with my little hand held Nikon.
This is the paid photographers $3000 camera!I think it's crazy how my little cheap piece of crap camera captured all the colors and hers didn't capture any of the true colors.
Wow you really can tell why they hired a professional. And as far as the compsition I bet it was real tricky to shoot over the photograper's shoulder after he posed the picture.
I like the second one best too
Well, I personally prefer the photographers, the blue hues could be slightly brought back better then the colour of the dresses could be corrected in the p&s version. (No, I don't have anything against p&s)
Nope. It was white but the sunset was amazing that night. That's an untouched picture. It's just what my camera captured.
Well I guess you had to be there to see the colors that night. There were all pinks and blues. There were no yellows and reds.
This photographer is good but she almost missed the sunset till the bridesmaids said "hey are we going to take pictures by the water".
One more thing... I wasn't peering over her shoulder during this shoot I was standing next to her.
Oh and we have all rights to post her pics. One she's a friend and two she gave us all discs to what we want.
Actually, the rules of this site specify that we are not allowed to directly post any photos that we did not take...so I'll have to change it to a link.
I'm in the crowd that prefers the pro's shot. Of course, it's personal opinion and if you like the colors in your shot, then that's great. It's a little too neon for me. On the other hand, the pro's shot is a bit too washed out for me. I'd like to see it a stop or two underexposed from the pro's shot to really bring out the red, yellow & orange of the sky...without getting too much blue & purple.
I wish I had a dollar for everytime someone has mentioned something that wasn't scriped, like shooting by the water. Being able to think on you feet is the mark of a good photographer. Also not being afraid to follow someone else lead, if the idea is worthy. Sometimes even when it is a stupid idea it's easier just to go along.
I don't fault the photographer for not thinking of the beach scene I give her points for being willing to take advantage of someone else's suggestion. Anyway often the real scene isn't as pretty as the one that looks real.
These days you have a point. Used to be they had a point and shoot from thirty feet out and got bumkas so I didn't mind. Not any more...
I don't want to be rude, but was the bride's dress really neon blue?
Secondly, you actually don't have the right to be posted the photographers image on this site unless you or your friend specifically paid for the rights to put it online. Just thought I would note that as well.
Looked like a beautiful sunset none-the-less.

Well wherever you were standing it's still not really your shot just one the photographer set up and you took. This is a reason alot of wedding photographers (myself bot included) do not take kindly to other people shooting beside them over their shoulder or wherever. Then that person comes back later and says "look you don't have to but any of their prints mine are better. I don't think a forum where people make money shooting weddings is the place to post this kind of thread. I wouldn't expect many people here to see it your way.
:thumbup:
Wow this is the second thread in as many days, where someone misjudged big time the response of the forum members. First it was hitman "can I print from the viewer CD" and now this. I don't see how either OP thought they'd get a favourable response from the members :roll::?:
Personally both shots have flaws, the neon blue dress in one and the overexposure and lack of saturation in the second.

The second one is clearly the professional's. The colors are much "truer" than the first. Good job on the composition though!

I agree... and the second shot could have used some fill flash at least. :)
I like the second version...
While your picture is nice and dreamy, it does not in any way shape or form depict real colors... just by obvserving this on my monitor... These are "night and day" shot comparisons my dear. Your shot is nice. It is up to the observer to decide what they like in any situation or photograph. I am sure you picture can be appreciated... but however... you would be short pressed to sell it on a large scale.
Speaking of large scale... do you know what size you can blow your pic up to my dear? Its nice to look at, but it may not be so nice at 8x11 or 11x14 because it lacks the depth of the "KCL" photograph.
I am glad you inspire to do this. I hope you may persue this and learn... maybe someday you will own your own camera that is more professional and know the ins and outs of photography. If you have no desire however... I would warn you to keep your mouth shut in regards to criticising a professional, be it a friend of yours or friend of the married couples family. Its just bad etiquette. Ok?
I'd go for the second one - although both have wonky horizons. There's more detail in it, it's better exposed, the colours are warmer which is right for a sunset.
I don't see how you think the first is better than the second - regardless of what the light actually was like, the second is more natural than the first.
