Photography Question

Lighting for weddings


Ok, so I have been shooting weddings for almost a year now, and everytime I look at the peoples work who have shot for like 5 or more years, I get discouraged! You can see my work at www.lanephotographyonline.com

What are the lighting techniques when using a 580ex on camera. I can't seem to get my pictures to "pop" like the other guys do?

Also take a look at www.kristaleephotography.com

Her work is really what I am striving to get close to, I just can't seem to do it.

Any help or advise would be really appreciated.

Thanks again guys!

1) Define "pop" please, Scott! That means very different things to different people.

2) And post one of your photos that you tried to make "pop", but didn't succeed like you would like.

3) List your gear, PP app, and operating system.

With that we will have a bit more to go on.

Have fun!

In B&W pics, the skin on the persons seems to be glowing. Like they have lotion on the skin or something like that. I have CS3. I have Kubota, and Mamas plugins. I am working on Mac.

I am also uploading a recent pic.
