Thanks, Chuck for an interesting insight into the intricacies and
pain of the wedding photog (or photog of any large group). I think
the lighting is excellent, if only it hadn't taken so much effort.
And you're right, you have improved on the Dibble site's efforts
The overall effect is lovely, but I am not sure that the bride will
be impressed if she can see too clearly (from a large print, perhaps)
that Mum on her left is looking a bit glum, that the lady behind has
her eyes closed (almost inevitable though, I should have thought);
but mainly that she is not looking particularly happy -- more
resigned to her fate, to my jaundiced eye.
It would be fine for me, but you know what women are like ... ;-)
