Subject Re: sRBG vs Pro RBG

If the prophoto image looks different in the sense of flatter contrast and lower saturation you are not viewing the file in a colourmanaged application.

What you are seeing is a prophoto colour space file viewed as if it was your monitor colour space (most likely). Thats not the correct representation.

Viewed in photoshop (which is colour managed) they should look very very similar unless the prophoto file contains colours that are outside of sRGB but that your monitor can still display.

Okay- After reading that thread at DPReview I understand that Flickr very likely does not support the ProPhotoRGB because the image did look Flat and Grey. Within Photoshop elements 5.0 all three pretty much look the same. Within Lightroom all three images pretty much looked the same. Within Flickr- there is an obvious difference.

Flickr itself also has a program for editing - that might possibly help get a photo to look good there - I have not tried their program but from reading flickr threads I understand it is pretty decent. If you do go ahead and try their editing program just remember to save the changes under a different file name so that you still have your original. Some people forget to do that.

Anyone here ever photograph lightning? I want to , but so far my attempts have met with near death experiences[8D]

I have the camera set on a tripod, with a remote clicker so I can stand inside the door for safety. So far, I can't click fast enough to catch the lighting, and in full dark with long exposures, I just have not been able to do it.

any suggestions?

i looked at charles kreb's site, and saw he has a few 3d photos up. if you want to have some more fun...you can try making these. all you do is take two shots of the same object with the same aperture offset horizontally by about a few inches. then put the two shots side-by-side in the final image using an image editor. when you cross your eyes to merge the two images, the object will pop out. if you mix up the right and left...you'll see an object that "pops in". here's an example that i shot a while ago:

While I haven't done it myself, at night I would think all you'd have to do is lock your shutter open (shutter speed "B") and wait. I read an article by one of National Geographic's photographers and that's how he did it at night. Of course, this assumes you're shooting with an SLR since I don't know of a point and shoot that has a shutter lock.
