Wedding photographer

Today I went out with a friend to discuss his daughters (also a friend) wedding.

The both of us will be doing the photographs for it. He will be taking the more traditional shots while I will be taking more unusual shots. I am nervous about it though as I am not used to taking portraits. I am going to have to start reading up about it.

There will have to be some shots that I will need to take using a flash and traditionally but I have got a list so I know what shots that I will need to be getting.

But I have come to the conclusion that while I am not sure what kind of professional photographer I will be I do know that I will not be a wedding photographer.

We did not have time to look at the wedding venue so we went to a castle near to where we live. I managed to get a lot of shots there. But then again I do like getting shots of old buildings.

Photoshop broke again

Eek my Photoshop broke again. Thankfully though this time I fixed it again as soon as the error message came up.

I think my challenge for this month will be to find new challenges for me to do. I am not sure that I will get on another college course this year so I need to do the work at home instead.

The one thing I can think of that I would really like to improve on is my editing. I have got a Photoshop book but I have not really read it much and I have not used anything from it. I need to start reading it and trying out what it says.

I got a shot of a pretty flower I saw as I was going on my way to the shops. I am really pleased with how it turned out as getting flower shots when it is windy can be very challenging. Today was pretty windy at times.
