Technique: How to improve any photograph Jul 15, 04:08 PM
One of the things I will not forget from photojournalism class is this. It is hands and faces that create emotion in photographs. This is something I’ve noticed more and more this year while sorting photos from each shoot. A photograph can hold much more substance by capturing emotion, and it is hands and faces that hold this emotion.
Firefox vs. Safari: Image Profile Style May 6, 09:50 PM
For the past couple of weeks I’ve been using Safari instead of Firefox (for the mac users) for browsing the world wide web. I’m not here to debate about all the pros and cons of these two browsers, however, something caught my eye while making this transition. Check out the two photos below. The *top is a screenshot of one of my photos viewed in Safari, the bottom view from Firefox.
What a difference! I declare this unacceptable! (color profile nazi’s: I do convert my images to sRGB, so that’s not the problem here). Apparently, I’m not the only one that noticed this either.
After doing some research, I found this article. To break it down, Firefox doesn’t support color profiles, unlike Safari. The next version of Firefox (3) is said to have full support of ICC color profiles. Until then, I’m sticking with Safari.
I thought you other photographers out there might find this useful – and to you viewers who have a sharp eye :)
*Note that I over-saturated the top photo after first noticing this anomaly, that is why it looks like Matthew has a gross sunburn.
