May 23, 2004

Today I wanted to experiment with different settings on the camera and the SB-800 flash. Christopher was a good sport as he really needed his nap. I was in a rush myself to get home for my grocery delivery and didn't realize that to fix the lack of off-camera flash I should have turned up the second flash unit. So this doesn't have the look I was going for. I used the white wedding tone curve. I can't tell anymore what colors and tones are "right." But any attempt to "fix" the colors or density in these made it awful. So it's probably as "right" as I can get it. I sharpened it a bit.

I can't decide which I like better. Okay, this one.

(Sorry these files are so big. Normally I upload a 400-500kb file to pbase and recompress on pbase without noticeable image degradation. These turn to **** upon compression. Also, I tried saving at a higher compression rate, looked fine until I uploaded to pbase. I give up, every time I re-edit the original file and save in highest quality, once they get loaded they degrade like I've never seen before. Please view in original.))
