Yet another Aggie Engagement

[MyKey]

Well for this UT boy we sure do get up to College Station alot! Taken last Friday TriCoast very own Cody and Sheldon shot these and I processed them. Great couple who will be having one heck of a party at their wedding. Fun all the way.....


#1 - Admin Building


#2 - Oil Rigger - Whooooop


#3 - The Century Tree


#4 - Back Pourch of the Dixie Chicken


#5 - Inside the Dixie Chicken

Love that #1. Where'd you shoot it? This future Aggie is curious.

#4 reminds me of something from the Phantom of the Opera. . . I like it.

I like them all but I really like the way you handled the sun and sun beams in #3. Don't know how you did it but I would think it was something done in processing. Excellent work!

Nothing much on processing here Roy, just up the contrast and made the colors pop more, what you see is what Cody captured in the camers with a 5D and 16-35L lens.

Wow! When did you say we can pay for your workshop again?

Mike, thanks for sharing...the sunset shot is outstanding, but I am curious what the setup and lighting/exposure was for the last shot inside the dixie chicken...it is spot in IMO, so I am curious what they did on that one.

Thanks Pete, and I promise it is coming soon! We are working on the site in our "off" time between weddings and babies. It should be very soon!

Thanks Nathan coming from you that means a lot! That was taken by Cody playing with the new 5D with the 16-35L mounted on it. I think Cody is in love! All natural light by the way no extrernal flash or wireless added on this shot.

Thanks Will again coming from you that means alot! On the last shot, inside the Dixie Chicken here is the data information:

ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/20
f/stop: 2.8
Lens: 16-35L
White Balance: Custom (shot on RAW so it really does not matter)
Temp: 5550K (Again on RAW so it really does not matter)

Flash on camera (580ex) set ONLY to set the wireless flash off which was camera left and when shot used to expose their face only! The slower shutter allows for the candle light and neon lights to be picked up while the side lighting of the wireless did not over expose the background.

I have a lot of this type of shot so I am going to play with several different processing styles and see what I can come up with!

[Elsaspet]

The first and the forth are WOWOWOWOW!

[mcphotography]

Great shots! I agree with Cindy - first and fourth are my favorites!

[royk]

Wow.. great job as always. I especially love the lighting and emotion on #4.

#3 is definitely my fave ... I love the sunlight coming through the trees down onto the pavement behind them ... looks REALLY cool!
