    Re: Go Angels!

    Dedric - two classic "issues" that are 100% related to taking the picture and very difficult to fix in post.

    1. The pole - that was there when the picture was taken. The photographer has to see this issue and either move the people or reposition him / herself to avoid getting it in the shot.

    2. The harsh shadows are due to the harsh mid-day sun. Taking the shot in a shaded area is probably the best way around it; but standing in the middle of a parking lot. No easy fix. Again something that needs to be corrected when the shot is taken. Fixing this in post; not all that easy and the results might improve, but will still be worse than had the shot been done in a better lit situation.
