Wedding Bliss

UPDATE: Thanks, everyone! I don't pay much attention to Explore, but it's pretty darned cool to hit #1 twice in one week, and that's all thanks to your wonderful comments and favorites.

Better bigger, Flickr is oversharpening this one.

When Jerry proposed to Stefanie, she had to sit down to hyperventilate on this very bench.

Last night, I had the honor of photographing the wedding of two long-time friends, Jerry and Stefanie. It was fantastic to see them tie the knot -- and quite funny to see the faces of the relatives when the photographer put down his camera to do some James Brown splits and and old-school, Kid n' Play hip-hop routine on the dance floor.

This is the composite of twenty-something images with the 85mm f/1.4, giving it a 3D look and compressing image noise away almost completely.

    Man, that's a gorgeous shot. It's got a little tilt-shift feel to it. Amazing, as usual.

    this is just incredible, ryan, the best one yet.

    how are you dealing with vignetting with that lens wide open? are you processing it away before you put the frames together? my first try was kind of a disaster, but i think i needed more frames. also i am only using cs2.
