    The Drama of Orange



    Panorama comprised of five images. Quite a bit was cropped after stitching it due to the perspective change, This was taken at the base of the mountain on the Wasatch Front in Utah, the sun setting over the Great Salt Lake.

    Camera: Canon EOS 7D
    Lens: Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM

    f/11, ISO-100, 1/250 sec, 55mm

    Nice colours Rocco, the orange is striking and I like how there is a touch of blue at the top. Is the dark strip at the bottom, land or water?

    Could be the color settings / working space you are using too, and then when you upload them to a image host or someplace like here that compresses the image they tend to clip the darks/shadows.


    If you don't have something like a Spider to calibrate your monitor you can start here at the following site with the LCD Monitor test images.

    I had the same problem with mine, and the Spyder calibrator helped a great deal. I originally thought it was a brightness problem , but when using the calibrator, I found that it was a color mix problem, made the recommended adjustments and --wow, prints and uploads now look like my monitor (usually). Again, If you don't have a Spyder or other hardware calibration device, try TKERR's recommendation, may of these software calibrators work fairly well.


    Speaking of orange, I took this shot while out shooting birds one evening: The crop isn't great, but I do love the colors.

    Oh wow. Just added the Syder3Elite to my Amazon wishlist. That's incredibly cool. Thanks for making me aware of that. I have a feeling I'll be going through all of my processed photos all over again.
