Title: The Bride

I always enjoy shooting in ambient light. The heavy contrast of the shades and shadows against the incoming rays of morning sunlight are instrumental in in bringing out the mood of the bride as she waits for the hour of her wedding day. This was originally shot in color film with Nikon F90 and Sigma lens. I scanned the print and turned it into black and white with the magic of Photoshop.

Wonderful!  I'm sure the color version doesn't give nearly the same feeling of anticipation.  :thumbsup:

Thank you all ladies.
This photo is actually my personal favorite among the brides that I photographed.

(I used to shoot weddings for extra income to support my three daughters education.
They all have their university degrees now. So my wife asked me to retire from wedding photography.
  I shot my last wedding coverage last August 08, 2008.)
