I've not posted any pictures in ages.
Mostly because I decided my monitors weren't giving me the colors I wanted.
So I got a calibration tool and discovered most of them are ok, and the one I'd been using to edit/post from wasn't so off as to force me to retouch all the things I've already posted.
My laptop (the one which won't talk to the internet) was the worst, with a hideous blue cast, which one doesn't really notice until it's been lifted. I wonder how many pictures I chucked because I didn't want to do the fixing I thought they needed? (not that many, color I'll mess with, cropping is no big deal, crappy composition and poor focus, those are the knells of certain death for pictures).
So I warmed up for slogging through a couple gigs worth of wedding pictures by wading into about 6 gigs worth of photos.
For your perusal I offer them up.
You can either find them in The Grab Bag, Snakes, Beach Shots and Poppies.
For those of you who want commentary,(including great wodges of technical stuff on the mechanics of taking pictures) there are a lot of pictures behind, ( the_cut )
