flawless | another image from victoria's portrait collection

Our last three posts have been of black-and-white images – time to put an end to that streak with this morning burst of springtime color... Another Faust Park favorite.

Up at 5. Out the door at 6. In Nauvoo at 9. Lunch and fudge by 4. Home around 7. Quick trip? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. More pix on our travel page.

See you again in December, Nauvoo. Next time, we're bringing the fam.

Colors of S.A.

Uh oh. The rules have been broken. Normally pix like these ones, which Bex shot in Santiago, Chile, would go on our travelog, but I was compelled to show these off because of the exceptional color captured on our 30D. Dodging and burning helped tweak the first two, the 3rd and 4th are unedited, and the 5th was treated the same as our water and penguin shots on an earlier post.

Frustrated with web color...

So, not quite sure why all of a sudden my pictures are showing up semi-desaturated once they go online. It's not rocket science, and I should be able to figure it out myself. But alas, I cannot... This Mini was a vibrant, rich red in real life, not brick burnt who-knows-what-shade-it-is red.  UPDATE! I figured out what I was doing wrong. I shoot in Adobe RGB mode, while most cameras are set for sRGB (some fotogs call it stupidRGB because of how it ends up in print). But I guess lately I was forgetting to make the Photoshop conversion to RGB so it shows up correctly on the web. Whew. I'm not crazy.
