Christening Images

To enable me to get to grips with my camera more and to become more confident, I volunteered to take images for a friends christening. I was quite happy with the results. Like any other day, some of my images worked better than others and I only had about 15 mins at the end of the ceremony to work within. I simply took my camera and lens with me for the shoot.

As I was in a church and there was lots of people around, I had to be aware of any health and safety issues involved so I was not putting myself or anyine else at risk of danger.


As i'm still quite new to photography, I found myself using automatic mode quite alot as I wasn't confident enough just yet to shoot manually too much under a very tight time constraint. I did however find myself having to increase the ISO on a number of occasions in order to create a brighter image. The focus ring was used alot also (manually) in order to place emphasis on the people and to soften the stained glass windows in the background.

  2. Hi
    These images are great well composed and your use of light, either flash or daylight is great, did you shoot these on manual or auto functions?, let me know. Your cropping is interesting and varied, which adds to the impact of them. Cropping is a very misused tool but you have a good grasp of that concept.

  3. Hi
    These images are fine but they have no supportive text on what you did, what kit you used, what techniques you tried, which worked which didnt.
    What research is supporting your area of chosen photography, at the moment this is not clear.
