Advertisement Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Hi hamey, Take a look here Canadian National Railways #3254. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
lambroving Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share #22 Posted November 23, 2006 Norbert, David & Ken, Thanks for the comments. I'm pleased you enjoyed. At least I had something to show for the day, but except for that 2nd shot, I think Dan had the right idea for the awful light we had. Should have pulled out my 75/2 and figured out how to use it...

pemayeux Posted November 24, 2006 Share #23 Posted November 24, 2006 Great shots! I really like the color and action in the second shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrewer Posted November 26, 2006 Share #24 Posted November 26, 2006 For the rail buffs: what publication might purchase a photo like this, say, for a calendar or even a magazine cover? Thanks. Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
innerimager Posted March 19, 2007 Share #25 Posted March 19, 2007 Fine work there William, #2 especially. Shows of the M7 very well, and nice to see that on the eve of purchasing my own. Best....Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share #26 Posted March 20, 2007 Peter, If you read my "story" above, doubt I'd have got # 2 without it. Good luck with yours! And while you may be tempted to shoot only B&W with it for your wedding gigs, remember, Leica glass is also made for color! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEd Posted March 24, 2007 Share #27 Posted March 24, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi William, I agree number 2 is a winner. The natural colors are very good. Thanks for sharing. Ed. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share #28 Posted March 25, 2007 Ed, Glad you enjoyed. Only got back late last PM after spending most of last week at a meeting in Ojai, CA. They had 17" MacBook Pros set up for us to use and this post looked dreadful, washed-out, undersaturated and no textures. I now have no idea what anyone else is seeing except those on high-end PC's like this and callibrated monitors... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted March 25, 2007 Share #29 Posted March 25, 2007 William - perhaps the MacBooks were not calibrated. I have no problem posting my Mac shots here, and receiving comments on them. No one (well, almost no one) has ever complained about the colour, saturation, etc. Ditto, every other Mac user here. If you see your shots this way on a screen other than your own, chances are everyone sees them this way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted March 25, 2007 Share #30 Posted March 25, 2007 I've looked at these on a calibrated MacBook and XP box, and they don't look desaturated or washed out at all. I can only think it was an issue with the MacBook Pro you were using. But you have to bear in mind that you have no control over what someone is using to view your images. The best you can do is prepare them on a calibrated system, post them in sRGB and keep your fingers crossed. I do see images here that don't look that good technically, but I assume they are posted from un-calibrated systems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share #31 Posted March 25, 2007 Agreed, I have no idea how the MacBooks were callibrated. Seem to recall the Cinema Displays from two years ago were much closer. My posts look OK at the office on one half-way decent monitor and also on the crap monitor in the customer lounge. Those are much higher contrast and lack a lot of shadow detail and texture. If I were printing myself, I would not try printing from them. Edits from this PC print fine on a friend's big Epsom with no alteration. Dan has several Sony Artisans in his office. Those big tube jobs are the industry standard. On those he appears to see what I see here. Others with pro setups on PC have also commented on the accuracy and textures visible here. Justin was taken with the way the Portra NC handled the blacks in # 2 above. Definitely, Ron, Brent, Dan, Paul M's, Bill Hollinger, and many others are seeing what I am. This is a Photo Editing NEC identical to the high-end LaCie which is also an industry standard. It is callibrated with Spectraview II as per NEC Display Solutions | Monitors | MultiSync LCD1990SXi-BK As Ron, Dan and I often share files, and in a browser like Firefox their posts appear virtually identical to the big files in Photoshop, possibly you are odd man out? DD is the authority on these PC/Mac issues. You might consult with him. He also has no problem with my posts but has, once or twice, optimized my shots for Mac users when he really liked them. Try opening # 2 in PS to see if that makes a difference on your Mac. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
