It seems I've mastered shooting without looking. My real camera would have been too conspicuous.

I have trouble seeing "gorgeous" in my experimental efforts. I get wrapped up in the how to do what needs doing. --maybe in a month or three? The accurate color photograph of this one with the PC camera setting was the best achievement. I did not like having to do a lot of playing around in Photoshop to get colors nearly accurate.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-38037991700540671112015-05-24T04:07:54.951-04:002015-05-24T04:07:54.951-04:00He has a slight resemblance with Eric Clapton don&...He has a slight resemblance with Eric Clapton don't you think ?

The windows of my house face North in the back and South in the front. When I photograph paintings in Northern light, the colors are translated in the computer to bluish. Taken in Southern light, the computer translate the colors reddish. Neither is acceptable. That's why I was interested in coordinating the camera's exposures with the computer with the Color Munki device, but if the PC setting makes the colors easier for the computer to render truthfully as this photo makes me think it does. Problem solved I hope, I hope. More photographs will tell.

Know which F stop and shutter speed is for which situation especially when references are your source and lighting is what you're painting. I kid you of course, but if I am showing my artwork on line and if people are starting to make inquiries and buy the work. I think they need to see as true-to-form photograph as possible. Graphites and black and white ink are easy to reproduce accurately, but get a painting with a rainbow of color values that can confuse the camera and the PC photo software and accuracy is impossible unless you can make adjustments in both devices--or so this retired architectural concept salesperson learned the hard way over years of working with clients who needed accuracy of representation to understand what they were getting for all those thousands. So I found a setting, I bought a book on the basics of digital photography and I'm going to read my camera manual just as soon as I plant the flower boxes. BTW the colors of the homely guy across the aisle are accurate. I'm guessing PC means coordinated to computer color setting given that PC was listed in the menu under 8M, 5M etc. which are f-stop settings? But first the geraniums. Stay well friend. Stay drawing. You're so good at it.

I removed the tape today; the rolls took a bit of the paper backing with it probably because I left the canvas up for three nights to test if the tape would stay on the Masonite for a period of time. It doesn't adhere for long on plywood.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-18184803532146925402015-05-22T17:21:14.151-04:002015-05-22T17:21:14.151-04:00Good painting - My fav part is the glasses and the...Good painting - My fav part is the glasses and their cast shadow.

I do that a lot photographing the art rather than fussing with the tripod. I just ordered a text book on the fundamentals of digital photography--after owning a digital camera or three for years. I am interested in getting the color more accurately and that begins in the camera--then there is a way to coordinate the PC's photo color photo program with your camera. I've also been looking into a Color Munki that does just that. Photoshop would be nice, but I haven't really been un happy with the editing tools of the PC's program. Photography has always been a love of mine. Thanks for pushing me to find my manual to see what Nikon means by PC.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-64251078796724386092015-05-22T13:29:50.277-04:002015-05-22T13:29:50.277-04:00I googled PC... look at this link:http://en.wikipe...I googled PC... look at this link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_abbreviations_in_photography<br />scroll down to PC..Kalei's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331539743751163269noreply@blogger.com
