You are doing beautifully with the D70. I watched with interest
your thread the other day as I have been getting the same results
as you with the soft photos, etc. I have figured it to be me so I
continue to practice an lelarn, etc...What are you doing
differently these days?

My goal now is to take pics like the one you posted. I'm moving slowly as I am still learning this camera. But I love it and I still have bugs to work out within myself, I think.

A photo like that might do well a little bit of enhanced
saturation. Color mode III perhaps?

Ron,

On my monitor it "pops" !
what type of computer are you on, and what are your monitor settings?

This is the main reason for this post..for me to try to get a general understanding of what the masses are viewing...I'd like to see your impression, that might help me to edit my pics to suit the majority of monitors out there.
All of my monitors are set to sRGB with a slight increase in gamma...

I still believe that sRGB is not an appropriate profile for the Apple LCD screen on a PowerBook. Look at the recommended profiles in the Displays panel: sRGB is not there and shouldnt be. I'm betting this will distort YOUR colors.

Sorry to harp on this.

I am on an uncalibrated Viewsonic monitor at my office so it certainly could be my end.

As for whether the pic needs any additional saturation, it is certainly a matter of taste and looks just fine to me. That said, being an "art" photo if it were my photo, I would probably try to push the saturation a bit more at least how it looks to me.

Thank you for the input....it seems in general it looks pretty good to most and that is a good direction to be heading in I think.....
I'm just pleased that my D70 now focuses well...

I think my nest water gallery will be water caught in motion as opposed to this one being splashes in motion...

Take care

Rob

Please believe me when I say I am NOT trying to give you a hard time. I'm a learner here, too. However, the reason sRGB is there is probably because you started with sRGB or are still using it. As an experiment, save the profile you are using, switch to the Apple Studio Display profile and close the Displays preferences. Now open the Displays preferences again: Is the sRGB still listed as a "preferred" profile? Now open an image and choose various display profiles. When you do that the colors necessarily change.

I don't think I could contribute anything by editing one of your pictures. Let me suggest that you take one of the images you have edited with the current setup, edit the image again using the Apple Studio Display profile and display the two on a Windows machine. Are they different?

Then again, maybe I've just had too much coffee today :)

If you could take the image and edit it to your preference I'd like
to see it....

Thanks,
