I have a blog which I think about 2 or 3 people are actually following, anyway this is my latest post as I haven't done one in a while and seen as I'm really getting into the OcUK forums at the moment I would share it with all you lovely people! So tell me what you think. =]
Sorry I haven't had a blog post for a while, I've just been busy with college. So here we go.
I am currently doing Photography at A-Level and love it. Although I don't like being told what to take pictures of or having to go learn how to use a DSLR in full manual mode by myself when the tutors are meant to teach us but other than that I love it. I also enjoy going off my own back and taking random photographs with my new Sony a200k.
I then love going home and loading them up in Aperture on my Aluminium MacBook 2.4Ghz and getting down and dirty with editing them, changing saturation and exposures and all that jazz!
The thing I don't like about this process is the results I get from this. And what I mean is how the photographs look after editing them. This is because of the MacBooks glossy display. I do have an external display but no adapter yet. Nearly all my photographs after editing and making them look just right on it come out really dark on other displays. I've been told to lighten photographs up by tutors, friends and random people that have seen them. The thing is when I look at them I just think the lighting is fine. This is getting very frustrating.
I know that when Photoshop when it was installed added some new display options but this is again annoying to go into and change every time I want to edit a photo.
Anyway, I hope to add another post soon as I do enjoy writing!!

p.s. This is more of a rant than anything else.
