I disagree , I'm certainly pretty old school but I thin all the work should be done during the shooting.

shooting is creating

post prod is creating and not correcting.

um. i said that.

right camera, good shot ...

be as old school as you want but even in film you have to make a print.

thanks straffo.

toronto -

-keep in mind that when you are not getting the blue it is because it is being drowned out by the white. high noon is almost always a washout.

-the raw result of exposure exists incomplete and it requires its final form.

-i might suggest that you start experimenting with aperture and exposure times. take 10 of the same shot and change the settings slightly with each. open them as a slide show and make a record of which looks best for each shot. ask yourself which ones really work.

-when doing so, keep your whites white. try to keep detail in the shadows while still making them rich and explorable.

-white and reflective surfaces interfere alot, so try shooting later in the day or earlier depending. colors are greatly enhanced at these times as well.

-that said...even these pictures could be greatly improved by converting them to auto levels in any graphics program.

It's not pink it's overexposed red.

wonder if the owners called the cops because some kid was taking photos of their house?
