1.Do you think a ND filter would be good for shooting a sunset wedding. For the portrait shots of the bride and groom?
2. Does anyone have the problem of after uploading an edited photo to a different site (facebook, 365) after editing in photoshop, the image is waaay grainier (sharper) than it was when you were editing it?
3. I had another question, but I can't remember it now.
ermmmm no.1 ..... pass !! hehe ! im not technical that side :(
no.2 ,,,, YES ! i now save two versions , one sharper than the other and i upload both , check on the netbook screen as well as the main pc screen b4 choosing which to remove (when uploading to fb) ..... i find fb is the worst for crappying my images :( :(
1. No. An ND filter will not work, because it will make the entire frame darker. I assume what you want is to shoot a bride and groom portrait with the setting sun behind them? It will be tricky, but an ND filter will not help any.
2. A photo appearing grainier or sharper after uploading entirely depends on the monitor, not the photo or program used. When I view photos on my laptop screen, they usually appear kinda grainy and soft. But when I use my desktop monitor, they are much sharper even though it is the same exact photo.
2. Yes. As Jason says it does depend on the quality of the monitor, *but* uploading to 365 and facebook involved a process called "resampling", where certain aspects of the "quality" of the image may change, including sharpness, colour profile, clarity of fine diagonal lines... the list goes on. Pre-resizing to the correct size for the site won't make a difference; everything's resampled, to reduce filesizes and save on bandwidth/storage costs.
1. If you want to get sunset in its full glory as the background for the bride and groom, I would suggest some kind of fill flash rather than an ND filter. The ND filter will force longer exposure times. You then risk blurry images if the bride and groom can't stay perfectly still.
2. My photos in FB always appear suck-ier than they really are :-) They somehow suck less in Flickr. at 365.org they are somewhere in-between
@srahman Totally what I was thinking. That makes me feel better, because I can't really afford a ND filter right now, anyway! And, I already have an OCF. Thank you!! Oh, and fb appears to be the worst for my photos, too.

3. I'm gonna say maybe, but I'm not sure.
3. No, it's been like that since I was born.
