Not so sure again about lightening. I tried intentionally to catch the contrast shading on the sculptures and to catch their shadows on the grass, but someway, something still distracting me. I will again treasure all your feedback, you are very full of great inside inthis place (as I knew from months of lurking:)) Ty in advance :)

Wow....beautiful grounds and architecture...what a lovely place for a wedding. Again as in the other images I think your exposure on the building and gardens seems perfect. However, I am noticing that in all of the images you have been posting you are shooting into the sun. Which in general is a big no-no. :~) What happens is that the sky is washed out though due to the exposure time needed to get the building properly exposed. There is a bit of lens flare which could be considered distracting as well. Overall it's well done.... :~)

I am, therefore I create.......

yep :) I always do things with sun on face thatis so true :) The main rule (practically ) of base photographyt and I always disregard it ;) (I am aware of it only.. after takin the shot.. which tells pretty much how beginner I a ;)) I note teh lens flare only now that you point out (DOH!!!!!!!!!!!). So.. again thank you for spoiling it all :). More notes to write down on my "beginner Photographer" lil notebook (I don't kid.. I have it for real :)) You're always precious Michelle :)Ty :)

Shooting into the sun is not always a bad technique. Exposing for the objects in the scene can then give nice flat lighting from the broad sky reflector. This is even useful in portraits. With enough exposure it gives a nice high-key lighting effect. But the sky will be washed out, and some contrast will be lost due to lens flair. Sometimes lens flair can be pretty. ["Rules" are important to understand before breaking them. What is important is understanding how to get the desired effect.] The camera here was slightly tilted?

I am FULLY agreeing that before trashing rules one has to show he can play by them. This is about knowledge in general :) Totally wise :) and yep, prolly the camera was tilted I guess :) Also my hand is not the best to handle it (I have minuscle ones ;).) I am lookin for doing people portraits' soon actually, so what you suggest about direct light will be very worthy.. as generally humans are what intrigues me the most, one day (long way ahead) i will try totake pictures preferably of them :) Thank you...very appreciated words were yours :)

Hmmmm.... I LIKE the lens flare. But then, I break rules as often as I can. After I'd learnt them all, that is. mac

you have a talent and experience I have to walk a long road before achieve :) I am sure by then I'll love to break rules as well :) but it takes a long time before I will feel entitled to :) I liked what I saw of yours, thank you for takin the time to write under this :)
