Cool effect Steve. It's really nice that the lines from the umbrella (I assume) of the small and blurred background are aligned.Quote:

Thanks AnGelo, technically it might be a parasol, rather than an umbrella as I think it is more for fashion and shade than waterproofing, but yes it did work out aligned. I really enjoy taking portrait style images, but getting willing models is tough when you are a beginner like me.
Cheers,

Agreed, nice shot Angelo and i really like the splash of colour on her wrist, contrasts well with her smooth skin.

Wow ...I actually finally have something to post in this thread!!
My youngest daughter, Kellie

And what a lovely post it is, nice portrait, pretty daughter.
Awww ...thank you, Steve! [:)] [:)]
Opinions & advice please! I had the above photo of my daughter printed this morning at Walgreens and it doesn't look anything like what I see on screen before or after my upload! [:(] Granted, I know Walgreens isn't the premium place to get photos from but the difference in the printed photo is a huge difference! Is it my computer or is it Walgreens!? The difference is in the lighting. In the printed photo, her hairline is almost as dark black as the background but on here I see quite a difference where her hair is brown with beautiful highlights as it is in person!
Please tell me if you see light that seperates her hair color from the background and if her hair color is nowhere near black on your screen!
Thanks,
Denise
Denise-
Walgreens applies an auto-correction routine to all the images submitted. The auto-correction routine works wonders for point-and-shoot images, but it
My experience with them is that they are either unwilling or unable to turn it off. I
Nice portrait Denise, short hair looks great on her by the way.
Thanks!
I am going to get it developed thru my website which uses Mpix. I
For what its worth Denise, I use Mpix often via my zenfolio site----Thier color correction is much better than mine. I always use color correction when I order from them and I have never been dissapointed.
BTW, Very nice portrait of your daughter.

Color correction might be good on some shots, but I'm sure that since you process and edit your own photos, you won't like the outcome 9/10 times.
If you can trust your monitor and the prints come out pretty much the same as they look on screen, stick with that and safe yourself some annoyance[:D]
What I personally did was print a few testphotos from different categories (High contrast, B&W, Saturated shots) and compare them with my monitor(which has a calibrated sRGB profile). I tweaked the monitor untill it was very close to the results and now I can savely order prints and expect them to look pretty much the same as on screen.
Well, I just ordered it and since it is the first photo I have ordered thru my own site thru them, I chose the no color correction option as a test to see how close it comes to what I see on my screen. If I
That sounds like a good idea.
Let us know how it turned out [:)]

Thank you all for your comments. I am very pleased that you like my shots.
I am not a pro, just an amateur. Photography is my passion together with sailing.
So unfortunately I have never been paid for shooting, I just spent a lot of money.
