I'm Thinking About It. It was the last day of the 2006 school year and I was up shooting my wife's Kindergarten class for her memory books she gives to each parent at the end of year as a gift. This was a long shot, with low lighting at the end of the day of holiday celebrations, candy, making gingerbread houses, and lots of fun. I really wonder what this child is thinking? I wonder if he is really listening to Mrs. C's last minute instructions. . .or maybe Santa???

    PS question. More contrast, a bit more brighter? I use two LG Flatrons, 1600:1 contrast ratio, model number: L1970HR-BF with a NVIDIA Quadro FX 700--for the techies. Please comment. I really did not do much here except crop and soften the shot a bit. Will check in later, bus is leaving and I am the driver.

    Not really looking for techie needs, but thanks and that is a great site. Was wanting more feedback from you all as to the digital darkroom as to the overall look and feel of the photo per CR, brightness, noise, distortion, etc. I like to post pics here not for bragging rights, but rather to learn and get good constructive advice. And to share some cool moments. And to see all of your fine work. Bus is calling, thanks everyone so much!

  • Priceless expression. No real technical help from me. I know nothing. Just a little soft for my tastes.
