They timed the wedding so the sunset would be the backdrop. The sunspots a flares were annoying but they seemed ok with them. This one in particular was one of their favorites.

I added the original to compare. Was going for the streaky sunrays look. I wish I could "aim" where they go. I like the shot but hate the huge sunspot in the original.

I took this shot at a wedding in Maui. I edited it adjusting the color levels, sharpness, and added a vignette. At first I thought it was awesome, one of my favorites ever, but now I am wondering if it's too dramatic. Maybe even tacky? I dunno, what are your thoughts?

I really want to upgrade and get a better lens. The Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S is appealing but those are at least $1600 for a used one. Any luck with cheaper brand names? Is there a comparable lens that is cheaper? I currently own a D80 but will soon upgrade to the D7000. I would appreciate any advice, thanks! :-)

Hey, does anyone know about that purple edging around some of the twigs and blossoms in my photo? Not sure how or why that happened.

What and when, if ever, makes a B/W photo better than the color? Just curious what your thoughts are.

This is one of my favorite sunset pictures. It was taken in Killarney national park in Ireland. I was messing around (learning) with the settings and this is what I came up with. Any critique would be appreciated. :D

I appreciate all the input!! Thanks everyone! I shoot with a Nikon D80, still learning but am getting more comfortable adjusting all the settings manually. I also am trying to stay away from using the flash. Natural and ambient lighting look so much better, IMO. Adjusting the ISO is key, for me. I used to just leave it 100, that just made things more difficult.

Based on your experiences, how high are you comfortable setting the ISO and still take high quality photos? Is it wise you have it as low as possible? When do you notice the "grainy" look? I have been experimenting with this and am happy around 700 (and under). Your thoughts?
