I am helping one of my friend who just had a wedding re-edit her wedding photos that her niece took, I have their permission to play and re-edit the photos make them look better. A lot of the photos I just could not do anything with them because they were toooo blurry and I didn't even bother with those, the other photos I pretty much was able to save between Nik and photoshop... This is one reason I refuse to do weddings.. scared to mess them up LOL!
Most of her settings were ISO 6400, 1/125 and F8.0..
Most of them have had super bad yellow/florescent lighting. I have been able to fix the white balances for the most part on the photos, but as you all have taught me since day 1. You can't make a bad photo better. Their niece was not a professional, just someone that had a camera.
Some of the photos I have had to turn black and white because of the white balance was so funky. She does prefer black and white anyway, so that tended to work out.
Suggestions on how to edit this one?? I do have it on one drive so there is a link available if you wish to play with it. The really bad downfall was that it was shot in jpg and not RAW. I finally understand why RAW just works!
Black and white is making it funky looking, I tried putting it through analog efex pro, I don't like the effects of that, color efex pro I am still playing with some of the portrait filters but not liking any of them, and I did fix the white balance first, but it just seems to have deeper shadows on the faces I just don't like. I am almost thinking an blurry abstract thing with it.
I would like to get this somewhat decent for them, but with it blurry it just doesn't help either.. This has been my project over the last few weeks and why besides surgery I have been kinda quiet. I am pretty happy with the results I have been getting with the rest of the photos from what you all taught me so far Woooho!
This one just seems a challenge to me
