A new couple, a new camera

I took a short jaunt to Seattle to attend a wedding, and for the occasion I had my new DSLR, a Nikon D40, delivered ahead of me.  The bride had asked me to help out by taking candid pictures, which provided the perfect excuse for a new toy!

I learned that it’s a bad idea to take on a new challenge (wedding photography) alongside new tools (opened the camera box a few hours before wedding preparations started).  Nevertheless, it was certainly educational, and I learned a lot by overdoing it: snapped 850 pictures, 250 of which were completely unusable, and tried my hand at individually post processing the other 600.

A smaller subset of the results are up on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/relgar/sets/72157606411864781/.  Tips or feedback appreciated; I think I used to get better final results with my point-and-shoot!
