First wedding anniversary plus Spyder 3 pro

Hi there. Recently I was visiting my friend (I was his best-man) on the day of his first anniversary. I took some photos as usual… The more interesting part is that these were developed in Lightroom, after I made my first LCD calibration. I did bought that little thingi (Spyder 3 Pro) that is capable of doing some magic on your uncalibrated screen. Everything look’s very different now. I do not have such a strong contrasts in color, but I definitely can see more colours being displayed even on Windows icons. It’s like jumping from 400D to D700 in one step.The general feeling is that now I have more tonal range on my screen. Needles to say that now my style of developing photos my vary from one that I used to like.

Some of my photos may look a little bit different now. Please leave some comment’s if anything look odd on your display, even though that it really shouldn’t

Few shots made today. The light was good, so it would be unforgivable to miss it.

Ohh, that one is hot isn’t it ?

My ” English speaking friend”

Yep, that’s me – vertical (not sure why I didn’t straighten it up) and kind’a in pain? >_<

Kartuzy “Wyspa Labedzia” QTVR

Myga — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 22:39:28 +0000

Here is another QTVR made in place that is called “Island of the swan” that is well known in Kartuzy city. Hope You like it, there will be more, unfortunately there was some heavy raining after I took just a few shots. Tried to wait it trough but unsuccessful. Took some fisheye shots from the bench while waiting. My companion for the day was also discontented.

I found that on a Nikon camera it is much harder to bring back details from ever-exposed parts of the image. Strangely Canon didn’t had problem’s at all with that kind of stuff. It was better to everexpose just to get details in the shadows area and then bring back some details from brighter parts of the image. Nikon is exactly the opposite. It is better not to everexpose any part of the image, and then bring back details from the shadow area. Seems that is the Nikon way….
