    i got ya haha, great photos though, i want to shoot a wedding one day, im making a wedding video with a friend of mine, but i enjoy taking photos more than videos

  4. haha thats what I thought as soon as I heard that. Hopefully that was just from the nerves of making the video. I know I’ve made silly mistakes like that when a video camera is in front of me. Also, not sure why you would use f/8 in that situation? Why would you want the details in the leaves outside the window? Sounds like he just shot in auto and then read off the metadata… Hopefully I’m wrong.

    Yeah, I know. It is just funny how you can miss something, then when you see it… you cant see anything else. 😀
    Not complaining about your style. Not even a little bit!
    If I lived closer I would offer to assist for free, just to learn from you in person!
    😀

    He’s the spit isn’t he?! It’s not him though cos he didn’t mention Percy Pepper or Suzi Salt.

    Nice shots, but that AC unit in front of the window kills that photo. Pinning the curtains at the bottom would have hidden it and you could have gotten artsy with the shot. Or at least drape something over the unit. I’m not going to suggest cropping it out because we all know that defeats the purpose of the shot in the first place. Anyway interesting work looks like you have fun.

  14. Exupery1976 says:

    sloppy mistake!

  15. LearnMyShot says:

    can you see videos on our site, we use a different video player? just click on the link in video description. Let me know

  16. 0oFlicko0 says:

    Dear @LearnMyShot , due to some really stupid regulations here in Germany, videos with music are sometimes blocked for me to view. Could you maybe try not to use any background music? Because I would really love to see the video after this for instance. At the moment I can’t.
    I love your tips, thank you

    Thats cool !! Check out my videos for amazing products

    Generally these shots are done before reception starts, often during cocktail hour. DJ crew is generally testing their rig at that time. and if you ask nicely they should be happy to assist you. Or you can see there the light is falling and position your subject in a proper spot. This is not something to be used at every event. but something it might be fun to take advantage of ,when the opportunity comes.
