• 09/05/2012 We posted the pictures from our Wedding a long time ago. They came from scans supplied by our photographer, and I was never very happy with the quality - the colour and contrast has always been a bit off. Improved computer displays have only made that more obvious. I noticed it the other day when uploading a photo to facebook for our wedding anniversary (7 years!) and finally got round to doing something about it. I've got much more interested in photography since then and I now have the tools and skills to do a better job - so I've re-processed and re-uploaded all the images.
