Only around 100 showing on your photostream (didn't count them, rough guess) but all 226 showing in your album. I assume you uploaded them all at the same time with the same settings?

Yes - one batch upload. I then went to batch edit to make sure they are all the same but only friends can see all of them!
 
If I switch to public view there are only 96 photos!

Odd. I would batch edit and change the settings again see if that fixes it.

Interesting, I've seen a few comparison reviews saying the the d is the worst of the 50's, just goes to show you can't always trust what you read ;) My only issue with the d is the bokeh due to it having 7 none rounded blades giving heptagonal light 'balls'.

Try one when you next see one for sale. As for bokeh, some times being different can be better.;) or stop shooting with Christmas Trees in the background.:D.........I'm like you though, very rarely use primes/50mm so don't see the need to spend out on the Sigma Art. I keep selling them and re-buying just in case, the one I have in my bag now (50mm 1.8g) has been used for about five test shots when I bought it about three months ago.:eek:

Nice shot that.

Cheers dude. I have a few that I'm happy with. There was the odd thing I would have done differently maybe, but given the extra bits I didn't know about, I reckon she will be quite pleased.

Been doing the 'not so fun' bit today. I have a love / hate thing with processing. I love the final result but lots of shots, in different conditions, is a PITA. Started with 1400 odd shots and halved that with the first cull. Made the mistake of batch processing some of the portrait batches instead of doing a second cull. Not too bad so far, I have a fairly consistent output from start to finish now, depends how much faffing I go from here. I do need to get it down to about 400 delivered though as it was only a short wedding. Probably spent 6 hours so far on it.

Interested to hear how long Tim or Andy take to process a typical wedding.
 
Oh, and if I did weddings full time I'd have a 24 too. Felt that a 24 was the missing lens the other day for me, hence I used the 24-70 more than I was thinking.

It depends. Last one was probably around 10-12 hours in total. I'm proper hard on the first cull to stop me editing things that should be in the bin. Bear in mind I only took 2-3 shots into PS for serious editing. Was a short wedding too.

10-12hours on 3 images? :eek:
 
Also after months of using not much other than the 35mm. Back in love with the 58.

Nooo, a whole wedding. 300+ shots.

That's not too bad. I'm not taking much into PS with this one. What takes you the longest, getting a consistent look?

The ceremony is a bit of a faff as started with fill in flash and no flash through the ceremony so there is a slight difference of course. Maybe primes throughout and no flash would have saved me extra work now.

What do you guys do in PS over and above editing in LR? I'm still not proficient at all in PS and only use it for cloning, but then I think I could probably improve my shots further in PS if I knew what I was doing :confused:

Generally tidying things up that you can't do in PS. Skin work if the need is there; losing distractions that you can't do in LR; colour toning is easier if you want something funky (rare) and I always sharpen for output via PS too.
 
I'm an idiot!!! Got called away a few hours ago to help out with the little one in a rush and left everything as is. LR is now not responding... so going to have to force quit and lose this afternoons work probably FFS!!!

Yeah the hardest part is getting it to look consistent. I generally only crop, exposure tweaks, white balance, contrast and maybe a monochrome conversion.

I still need to improve my colour post processing, I've found a style of B&W that I like.

@snerkler for PS I literally use for cloning and maybe content aware fill. I'm rubbish with PS.

I shouldn't think so as they get saved as you work on them?

I think you should be OK TBH. Mine's crashed before and saved the work up til the moment it crashed.

Should be alright, might lose 1 images pp.

Get Mogrify and do unsharp mask on output, and don't bother cloning things out, saves loads of time :)

Any people got any idea on flickr? Batch uploaded some pics and only 94 or so show in public view, but they all appear in friend view?

Each photo says 'anyone can see this photo'

Can people click on my page and tell me how many pics it says I have?

Face it. You're just a Flickr stats whore [emoji12]

I have it Andy, played with it quite a bit but still can't get my web images as crisp as with my PS action. I always export full jpegs into a web folder then run the PS action on them to reduce to size and, more importantly, sharpen. It's another process but not the end of the world, unless you're going to disclose your secrets :-)

I just export from LR at the desired resolution and run Mogrify with the same settings I'd use in PS, which is just a basic sharpening 85%, radius 1, threshold 0.05

Mine could probably be sharper, but they do me

Lol, wait till they are 1-2 then they are rapid and dont care if you want them to stay still. Why do you think AF is so important to me. Kids are a tough subject for any AF system.

You talk the truth!
My one year old is giving me headache indoor.

Try my web sharpen and compare in mogrify, can't get it near: USM 200%, radius 0.2, threshold 0.
 
Help please, any idea where I should be focusing to get both eyes sharp on the photo below:
