Dear Tracks

Dear Tracks

Working with Raw file formats sure takes up a lot of space. I understand that every time you move a jpg file around it loses some quality. I don't know if that is the truth or not, and it certainly goes against my engineering principles. I'm not willing to take a chance, so I am now taking all photos in Raw format and losing disk space quickly. The tracks in the snow near the girl are actually from dear that passed by recently. I love the angle of this shot with the sun peaking in the background. I really need photoshop lightroom to work with these files though.

I've been studying color correction and finding out very quickly that the colors displayed on one monitor are completely different on another. The problem is magnified when you attempt to print your work. Calibrating my monitor is just one step of the process. This was another shot taken from the photo shoot with the coffee beans. Unfortunately this was the test shot without the beans and the model was unable to recreate this look for me once the beans were in her hands. I processed this photo with Adobe Lightroom instead of Picassa, and I must say Adobe knows what they are doing.
