Date: 28/12/2013 -::- Service: Uplyme Parish Church -::- Reception: Uplyme Village Hall

Having not photographed a wedding for a while it was great to be able to take part in Gemma & Paul’s day at my local church in Uplyme. Even though it was a winter’s day, thankfully it only decided to rain whilst everyone was eating cake in the church, meaning we could take all the formal shots outside the front door and pop down to the Cobb for some great shots of the bride & groom.
A day filled with fun, friends, laughter & bobble hats!

On what was probably the hottest day of the summer Andy and Lucy got married in North Devon. Even though the church was a short journey from Lucy’s parent’s farm the couple travelled in style using a vintage VW camper for the occasion. The reception had a great atmosphere with friends and family gathering for a BBQ feast in the marquee – these photos will give you a feel for the day:

I love taking photos. Pure and simple. Although sometimes I wish that things could always stay simple. Of course I am living in a fantasy land, because photography has never been that simple really.

Today we have digital, but not so long ago there was film – and it isn’t a simple five minute job develop your film. Oh no. I remember the days of spending hours in the school dark room, winding films onto reels in light-tight bags… then developing them film… putting it on the enlarger… only to realise the photo was out of focus! Oh the joy! Of the frustration!

And so it is the same today – or yesterday for that matter. In a past life I used to be a person-with-a-proper-job and I am quite glad that for that proper job I was an electronics engineer, it seems to help me when things go wrong.

I was editing my latest wedding on my lovely new iMac (even though it does look a tiny bit yellow) using Adobe Lightroom 2 (which is great) when funny things started happening. I’d edit a picture, but when I’d come back to it the brightness would increase and the tonal quality of the picture would change. This started to get very annoying. This happenned for quite some time. I got grumpy.

After some investigation work (which included peaking inside the preset files) I finally tracked the problem down to some Lightroom Presets I was using. Turns out that the Camera Profile was set to a profile that was not installed on my computer, and when the picture reloaded Lightroom loaded the ACR 4.4 profile not the Camera Standard profile that I usually use. For non photographers this will not make much sense, but for those that understand I hope it saves you some grief. I just glad I got to the bottom of it.

Which goes to show that even though I sometime just-want-to-take-great-photographs, you just can’t get away from technology. Speaking of which: I can’t wait to see the final version of Lightroom 3, and CS5 looks great! Now – back to the photography.
