Wedding Pictures and Chicago Pictures

I was in a friend's wedding this past weekend in Chicago and I got the chance to take some really cool photos of the wedding studd (rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, getting ready, wedding itself, etc.) as well as a chance to take some cool shots of Chicago. Here are some of them--more to come.

More Flowers

I only had time to take a couple today because it was going to start to rain. That was disappointing because I was hoping to be able to try out the filters/white balance stuff for a little bit. I only got to take about 4 pictures and then had to head back inside. In these the white balance is set to "cloudy" and I tried both a yellow filter and an orange filter. I can't say that I really notice a difference, other than they look a little softer. Not sure if I was doing it right or not, but I also didn't have time to figure it out either. Oh well.

The very first pictures I ever shot with my camera

I took all these photos on April 23, 2008 (my birthday!) and I was mainly using the P setting. I also used the close-up setting and the black and white setting w/ a blue filter. I was just trying to see what I could do with the camera, since I'd never even touched a camera that was this advanced, let alone used one. So I just went out around town and took some photos to see what I could do. I actually think I did fairly well for my first time ever.

Photos for Our Wedding

We are planning on using titled pictures instead of numbers as our table designations at our wedding next May. So tonight, we set out to get some photos of places that are special to us in our relationship. Here are the results:

These last two aren't actually going to be included in our wedding stuff, but I managed to take them while we were shooting wedding photos and they turned our pretty well.
