"Happiness In White"©David A. Ziser
Here is another image from the Master Class shoot from this past Wednesday. I wasn't going to post it but it just kept growing on me. The image was made before I had checked the settings on the camera. After taking the image, I knew I had overexposed it. I thought it looked kind of cool with the blown out tonalities and I still captured these nice expressions between the bride and groom. I thought there might be something "cooking" here. I also knew that an overexposed image sometimes looks really cool as a B&W. After importing into Lightroom, I desaturated the image, slid the "Clarity" slider slightly to the left to soften the image even more and got the result I wanted. I did several more images in this setting, but this remains one of my favorites. Let me know what you think. Camera specks; Canon 5D mark II fitted with 70-200mm IS lens at 200mm, F4.0 @ 1/250 second, ISO 200. Enjoy! -David
David, I think this is beautiful. It's a wonderful dreamy effect that I think would appeal to a lot of brides. In fact, I've got a couple of similar images on my website that I took at your wedding class at Photoshop World in Las Vegas last summer. I've gotten a lot of compliments on them. Really think you're on to something here.

ReplyDeleteDavid, I like this effect also, but shhh don't let the cat out of the bag!
ReplyDeleteThis picture is fantastic, but all your photos are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI have a curiosity, do you shoot photos using manual setting? Can you capture candid photos using manual setting?
Thank You
I aspire to be a wedding photog of the caliber and professionalism I see everyday here at DPT. Thank you so very much Mr. Ziser for your inspiration, expertise, sense of purpose and just plain hard work that you share here in each and every post. I really do appreciate it very much.

ReplyDeleteI really like the image as well and I'm a fan of the technique. I wish I could do it on que but so far my best images are happy accidents such as this which you share.
