Photography and my MacBook.

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 lovely 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!!

2009! Yeah it's late! :)

Hello to all who read this!

Well this is my first blog post of 2009! and well I writing this because I actually have nothing else to do. I could have done a blog post at any point this week because I have been off ill with the 'bug' that is going around. Now I have been doing work this week so I'm not that far behind. So because this is the first post of 2009, I would like to wish you all a happy 2009!! Anyway I don't have much to say in this other than I can't wait for summer to come round for me to start going for walks to take pictures!! 

So from me for now,

Jon
