Out of 62 pictures, the focus is off on 25 of them! The photographer wasn't careful, so the sharp focus is actually on the background, not on us, leaving us fuzzy, in some cases just slightly and in some cases very badly.
I didn't catch it on the 4 x 6 proofs, and the quality of the on-line previews is so low you'd never notice. But as soon as you try to increase the size, it becomes obvious. Almost half my pictures are unusable!
Here's an example. Notice the background bricks of the castle are sharp? That's where the camera has focused. The narrow depth of field means the focus on us is soft and slightly off. (Yes, I've enlarged the image, but look at our mouths compared to the sharpness of the bricks. It's not blurry because of the increase in size, it's a focus issue.)
I am distraught! Not only did we pay a small fortune for these, I then waited 3 years to get the digital files at a price that wasn't completely unreasonable.
Maybe the focus issue wouldn't bother some people, but we're both photographers and expect a company like Disney to get the get the basics right. This is not okay. I have e-mailed Disney, but am not holding my breath. From previous couples who have had issues, not much is ever done, let alone 3 years later.
