Of course I meant, PHOTOGRAPHY. Now that I caught your attention. :)

These are taken just past Sunday at a wedding. I learned a lot as an unofficial photographer, shooting impromptu shots!

Bouquet Toss

Perfection

Exchange of Rings

Smiling

My best of best collection: (Taken last year)

Wesminster (London)

London Wait (London National Gallery)

By the Boat (Amsterdam)

Munster, Germany (This is my favorite :cool: )

Dutch Sunbathe

----
Some background info:
Never taken any photography class. I just started get into photography last year by spending $200 on this camera at AT FS/FT forum. Believe it or not, they were all just taken with point-and-shoot. God I need a DSLR cam. :(

I do have some minior graphic design background which was just self-taught by messing with photoshop. Obviously all pictures are retouched with PS.

Any feedback is welcome!

I think the By the boat is best.
Not such a fan of some of your touching up, kind of takes away from what was originally there.

Too much B&W. It's like you're trying to hide something.

And yea too much Photoshoppe work.

lol at the bouquet toss pic. Not a single one of the women look like they want to catch it... especially that girl on the left. Must not have high hopes after seeing whoever the bride married. :p

Thanks for your first criticism. You're absolutely right. That cam isn't best suited for photography because of my broke ass. Most of them were retouched on to such extent to hide the camera's shortcomings (grainy image, blurry detail, etc).

Nice photos. I couldn't take better photos, but I would like to offer some critiques.

On perfection, the left side of the cake is underexposed, so much of the detail work is missed. At the same time, the right side of the cake is overexposed.
The only photo that I don't like is the bouquet toss. The composition isn't very pleasing to the eye.

I would like to see the Munster, Germany one in color.

And yeah, you should toss that bouquet toss pic.

I liked the "best of the best" pictures, but some of the wedding pictures look overexposed to me.
