A tale of an old two-eyes

Looks like my attempt to subtlety is lost 🙂
No one seem to realize that the image above is a link to my photo journal entry about the camera.

Beautiful, and it really does tell a story, but I'd take care of the highlight on the strap

 

[shadowfox]

Thanks.
The highlight on the strap looks fine on my monitors.
But those are not calibrated monitors 🙂

That and even the area on the bottom of the camera looks a little blown out on my (also uncalibrated) monitor.

Nice of camera though. Do you use it?

 

[xxloverxx]

This secondary monitor isn't 100% colour accurate but does fine for judging exposures on my photos, so I'll trust that.

Indeed, do you use the camera?

 

[oftheherd]

Don't do it. Don't cave into the notion that everything has to fit nicely into a histogram. No photographer is under any obligation to reveal all that is there, whether detail in the shadows or detail lost to highlights.

Your point is well taken. However, in my case I commented as I thought is was a distraction.

You know you can click on the image to find out the answer, don't you? 🙂

too much letters for me now, but those dreamy images are quite awesome.

Will, your subtlety was lost on me until I read your edit and followed the link. Great camera and great photos. May slow photography (and slow food) never die.

Good point. The histogram is a tool and how we use the tool is not bound by the tool itself, rather with our vision.

I'd be really interested to know more about "too much letter for me," I'm afraid something is lost in translation.

Hear hear 🙂

I love the photo though. Maybe put a 'click here' button, when in doubt hit them over the head with a 2x4.

Now that's funny, John. 🙂
