[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hi everyone,
alright, perhaps this wasn't the actual First Dance (which was some kind of Highland dancing, if I remember right), but you're not to know that. This was taken at the same wedding as "Page Boy", and shows the bride and groom enjoying a moment on the dancefloor, little realising that I'm standing on the sidelines taking photographs of them. I know it's a bit dark, but it captures the moment and I like the pose, so there!
Shot in black and white.

Cheers, John.

You were doing well to capture this in the dark. Composition is good.
A subtle flash would have worked wonders too.

Wonder if you can bump up the exposure in post production without too much artifact.

Hi John, I do agree with Chikabelley, a bit of flash or a slower shutter speed or wider aperture would have helped, however, great composition and you captured the moment well so I'll give it a :) anyway!
Cheers, Dad
