[QUOTE="gohan2091, post: 143647, member: 11990"] Thanks Wud, I do appreciate there are a lot of photos to look through. The photo you commented on that you said is nice is an HDR photo which I made black and white. The "too much headroom" I have to agree and I didn't really consider this while cropping, which I should have done. I only do general editing when I process the photos, I would imagine if I select a few good photos, I could really edit the hell out of them and they could come out amazing. About background blur. I don't have fast lenses (with exception of the 50mm 1.8) so blurring the backgrond can be difficult. In the second wedding, I had the 16-85mm lens which is F5.6 when fully zoomed in so the background outdoors isn't going to be as blurred as I would like. With the telephoto Tamrom lens though, the backgrounds I find are creamy outdoors. Oh really? More contrast? I shall look into this, thanks very much. I think I know why, I am worried about underexposing my images too much so I tend to over-brighten the blacks. Certainly something to pay attention to!
