It seems to me, that I missed the mark in both shots by having either the DOF or the foreground too blurry...

    Last weekend I took some family pictures at my sons weding and was disappointed in how under exposed a few turned out. Was able to figure out that I should have changed the metering mode to spot or center weighted instead of matrix. Here is two shots. The one on the left I think must have...
