I’m just back from the weekend church retreat. Thanks for the love, care, and fellowship of our church members.

Preparing for another day. Lined up pigeons on the wire looked like morning ritual for another new day.

There’s no warning sign like this in our lives. We should simply try it and learn as fast as we can before we got too tired…

Hmm… I’ve got a quite annoying issue here between Adobe RGB and sRGB display on a web browser.
Couple of days ago, I decided to used RAW format rather than jpeg format on my istDs to get more control on color. The color displayed on the web is quite different from what I see on my laptop screen using Adobe LightRoom. Ha…so I guess I need to pay extra care to handle what I see and what I get. Interesting!

Experiment, originally uploaded by Mountainbread.

This is an experiment using Adobe Lightroom based on a RAW format image. I’ve been not doing this sort of image manipulation since I believed that a photo should be shown as it is. Now I partially admit that a digital processing is just another way of photo processing that was formerly done in a darkroom. So, this is my first try, but I don’t think I’ll do this very often.

I just found this shot in an old image folder. Many faces, all different in color, shape, and size…. It’s what we call ‘us’.
