Andy, does the centering here bother you? I notice that I am centering a lot lately. I like it, but I hear a lot here about centering. I know there was a reason here, as in, through the viewfinder it looked best. I know all the "rules", but sometimes I like things centered.

Took a family trip up to north-central Mass yesterday and came up with these. While we had a blast, I was a little disappointed in most of the photos. I found the lighting was pretty difficult to deal with. We may do it again next weekend when the trees will be closer to peak color.

dj, lots of richness in your shots, the last one i like a lot
pathf they are all really good but this one is wwwwow.
I am flattered that you liked this one - as a result I went back to the originals from that sequence of images and found one that I prefer. I am going to post it twice to demonstrate how different color spaces are viewed on the web.
The first is direct from Photoshop after post processing in Adobe colorspace and just saved as a jpg
The second image was the same file in Photshoshop that was converted to sRGB colorspace before saving and uploading to smugmug. So the files are completely identical except that the second image had its color space tagged as sRGB before uploading to smugmug. The first was still in the Adobe colorspace when it was saved for upoading to smugmug. Notice any differences?

I've forgotton how to do it!! :cry I used to know I could struggle... or just ask you?
Thanks for showing that Path, I'm going to go change my color space right now. Do you normally have your color space on RGB?? and why. Thanks
Lynn

Lynn, is that the place that Kelby and others say to put on Adobe 1998, or something like that?
In other words, where do we change the color space?
ginger (I just love these questions I ask, they are so "for idiots". I just don't know some things)
If that is the place where Kelby says to put Adobe, there he gives us numbers and stuff for other places, curves I think. Is he "wrong" there, too? For us?
Baldy wrote me something about this, posted it, when I was trying to do the boy with the birds, I didn't understand how to apply what he wrote. I am thinking that this is it. So I am just trying to understand how to apply this.

I figured it out Path, the color space I mean.. thanks to Gingers reference to Scott Kelby's book.. it's on page 116 if anyone is interested. Thanks Ginger

Pathfinder, I'm back for more help. According to Scott Kelby I should be in Adobe RGB he's saying that sRGB is is "el cheapo" for web design.. is that why you convert it for the web??? but you keep Adobe RGB for printing? Just need to clarify..

think of srgb as the lowest common denominator - it's a color space that should display properly on most monitors...

I am sorry if I have been confusing, Lynn.
I have Photoshop set up so the color space is Adobe RGB1998. Indeed, my camera is set up to save the images in Adobe RGB1998. So when I bring images into Photoshop they are processed in Adobe RGB1998 and archived in Adobe RGB1998 as .psd or tiff or jpgs.
BUT when I KNOW I plan to upload a jpg to smugmug for display on dgrin, I wil convert the image to the sRGB colorspace before uploading it, so that it will not be displayed online in a paler, less contrasty version. I do this by going to Image, Mode, Assign Profile or what ever the command is on your version of PS...
Fall colors have not really quite arrived in Central Indiana yet, but ..... I was in the hills of West Virginia last weekend and found a few lovely vistas...
Greenbank Observatory
A hillside we went riding by....
Grass late in the afternoon autumn sun
Fog in the morning sunshine in the valleys - they aren't called the Smokies for no reason
Sounds like a great ride, been over the Smokies back in 2000 and ride WV often. love the GreenBank area, rode through there this past summer while at a vintage BMW gathering that the /5 group holds in Senaca Rocks each year. You should check out my write up from this past years event here .

Here in the Washington DC area fall has hardly started, except for some of the younger trees and grasses/ground cover as here
[font="]Rather what has been so noticeable this year is how GREEN everything has been this fall, usually by now the colors are becoming muted, but if anything they are more vivid now than all this past summer. Even the pic above shows this. Another picture taken 2 weeks ago up in the highlands of Md does show some color changes but not much.
This one is kind of fun, notice how the middle area seems a little rippled? That's because this is acually a reflection in a pond. I just turned the picture upside down because it seemed a bit confusing somehow having so much of it a reflection . So in fact the "reflection" at the bottom of the picture is really the "original" and the "original" is the reflection!:D

Love the reflection
You reflection shot is great. I never would have noticed that the majority of the frame was a relection. In fact it took me a minute after i read what you wrote to really see what you meant. Its too bad you caught some of the reeds from the bank you took the picture from in the top (or bottom depending on how you look at it) of the frame. Great job though.

The leaves are more than half on the ground now as it has been raining for several days - but I did find a couple shots of leaves on the ground that I like..
A few sad looking Cosmos are still left in the garden
And a garden bird feeder with a leaf in the water as well.....
These are lovely Greaper - Did you capture the light houses along the Lake Erie shore in Ohio or were you travelling? I always love to see light houses!!

How do you feel about that?

next time: step back a bit, and compose a bit more carefully
lovely colors though, and the scene is great
