Egg and Agency Buildings 3 & 4
EXIF: SONY DSLR-A700 | 1/640 sec | f 8.0 | 11.0mm (35mm equivalent: 16.0mm) | ISO 100


Long time visitors to forgingahead will recognize this subject that pops up from time to time. Hard to miss the Empire State Plaza that looms above the City of Albany. I had to see what I could do up there with the new super wide lens.

Spent a bit of time today beginning to unravel the mysteries of printing. Hard to believe, I suppose, but I have done little printing since I started forgingahead...which is my primary outlet for photos. Before I began using Lightroom I never had problems with the prints I did make, but now it seems there is absolutely NO correspondence between the colors I process on screen and the ones that print. I experimented today with printer profiles, paper profiles, color spaces, printing from Lightroom, printing from PS CS2, and more. I used this particular picture as my test. The sky in the prints ranged from a kind of sick green to a dull, pale, bluish-purple and all sorts of hues in between.

So I went off to the Barnes & Nobles to do some research on Color Management, thinking I would find a quick answer. Not to be. Time I guess to join the local Photo Center and tap into some real one on one advice from those who know. Been meaning to do that for a long time, now I have a good reason.
