Recent Shots in D.C.

LeDude

I'd love to get some thoughts. This was my first real session in D.C.; I got about 110 exposures in 3-4 hours and these are the "best of." The last on is not necessarily forum related, but it was in the series and I feel foolish starting a whole thread for it.
One problem I'm having is converting to sRGB... I shoot in Adobe RGB and am often upset by what happens to the colors upon conversion.... but then, I can't imagine my monitor is displaying Adobe RGB since it is large and cheap and I thought LCDs, et al did not typically portray a palette other than sRGB.

I like the first one the best. Almost wish there was a slightly better position so the trees weren't obscuring as much of the museum.

With regards to sRGB vs. Adobe RGB, the key is to have a program like Photoshop do the conversion. If you've calibrated your monitor you will see what you will get when you make the conversion in the program.

I'm sure there are some workflows documented in the forums here but I think the basic approach is to load up your image. Make all the corrections you want. Convert to sRGB. Save.

You should see in your web browser something pretty close to what you saw in Photoshop.

Thanks for the thoughts. I've got to admit I think I was a bit confusing in what I wrote about the RGB issues. I do the conversion in Nikon Capture. My problem is with the conversion itself (not with a difference after uploading)... it seems like I am losing color depth, but that confuses me because I have heard monitors don't really display Adobe RGB anyway. I have only printed in Ad RGB, never in sRGB; so, I guess that would be a test I should run.

Thanks again.
