calibration time!


i've been worried about my calibration!

i use two monitors, home and work, and work tends to render the images a bit too yellow. i don't do much to the colour, the cameras should perform well and as they look fine on the home one, odds are it's the work one that's duff.

but how do you know for sure?

i found this visual test which is easy to follow;
calibration test

so i tried it at work first and, as predicted, it was well out! i made adjustments to correct it but now i'm looking at the home one and it complies far better without any adjustment and even after the modifications on the work one!

castle combe


eggs

thought i'd better catch up on the walks book i got for christmas; three months since i did the last one, which was the first - so this is the second. castle combe!

i took the eos, a mistake because i haven't got it sussed out and it's a brick to carry around. also there wasn't too much to photograph compared to minster lovell. i must get the manual out and read it... ;o)

a bit more eos stuff


guinness brewery tour - strictly for tourists

guinness brewery tour - strictly for the birds

so, better with tourists or without tourists? i can't make up my mind - probably with.

apple blossom (i'm guessing)

the red portion of the castle compliments the blossom, no? yes? no?
taken on the curved steps down to dubh linn garden.

eos takes on the swirls

different camera, different day, different light, better definition on the grille. i could tweak it but - i don't know... you decide. :o)

eos in eire


guinness critters.

in dublin, enjoying the new zoom lens! first time actually out and about and, boy, it's like having a brick around your neck. it takes me time to get used to the feel of new stuff; just on basic auto for these few shots.

duhb linn garden

at least i think it was called that. opposite the castle anyway.

phone garry 5 lines.

sign writing is a dying trade. he had FIVE whole lines when he had his name painted on the wall. i expect he's got broadband now...
