My final wedding

This time for sure. As most of you know when I made the switch to commercial/advertising 12 years ago I pretty much stopped doing wedding. Only a hand full (Maybe 6 or so) in the past 12 years. This is my very last one though for sure. Just a few very quick edits of a few of my favs.

Is it just me or are all of these a bit soft?

I see it too.

missed focus on a bunch of them for sure. The only one that looks in focus is the ring shot and the little girl peeping over the pew

Its photobucket. (talked about in a different thread) Some intended movement on some of the dance shots but again the finals are razor sharp. Trust me I know what a sharp image is.

On the finals champagne glass shot you can actually see the scratches in the glass and the full length of the bride is almost to sharp. At 100% you can see the fabric on the buttons on the back of her dress and count her eyelashes.

Are you serious? If that's really the case, then switch to something else; I agree, almost all these are off.

I just use photobucket to post here. I've posted shots that were used for ads on billboards and got the same soft comments. Its a compressed 96 DPI JPG in a hosting site that further compresses. Go figure things look a bit soft from time to time.

Well, how come the close up of the hands is so sharp - are you hosting that one somewhere else?

Its all the bucket. If you were here I would show you an amazingly sharp 13 X 19 and I shot with blads for years so I know sharp.

You should never judge sharpness from images posted from 96 DPI compressed JPGs from a site that further compresses.

i would never post images from any hosting site that degrades the quality of my images THAT much.

In fact ive never seen photobucket degrade image quality THAT much

Lets put it this way. If you look at the exif on the F/L bride shot you will see that it was shot with a 35mm lens at f/9 and she was about 8 ft away. DoF would be about 11 ft. Photobucket doesn't feed the family and pixel peeping on websites that have compressed JPGs is kinda ridiculous anyway. As long as what I deliver to the client is sharp I could really care less what photobucket does.

i dont think any of us were pixel peeping, but when you have to rub your eyes to see if the blur goes away, somethings up, and i doubt its photobucket.

If indeed it is photobucket, which i highly doubt, you should switch to flickr, smugmug, or one of the other free, better, photography specific photo hosting sites.

You're right I have no idea what a sharp image is

you can't always convince people, you know a photo is more than a thousand words...

just create a free flickr account and post those photos again

Time to stop badgering the OP. I know other folks who have the same complaints with PB.
