this place had the awesomesauce. and a whole lotta green tint in the auditorium.

friends of mine found this place after taking a wrong turn to get to a Burger King for lunch. soon everyone was making a trip to this place. a small school in a very depressed town had a lot of offer inside, an amazing auditorium, a huge gym, and even a pool.

    Kevin your shots are really improving. I love this set the most of anything I've seen from you. Colors, processing, composition. You've come so far! *sniff* :D

    (Sorry we missed you on Sunday! Hope it was great)

    Looks like misread White Balance in the Auditorium/Green tint scenes. No flourescent there!

    If you shot RAW, should be easy pieces to fix.

    the green paint + the tint on the windows made everything green in there. i corrected it in PS but i actually liked it better with the tint so i left it as is.

    i shoot JPG, i take too many shots too quickly for me to justify the time and disk space (and $ for more hard drives) for RAW. one day i'll make the switch, but so far JPG has worked well for me.

    Aw man, you really have a knack for finding dumps like this, don't you! mwink.gif

    Great shots; I like the rings with the single spider-web strand best -- subtle and cool.
