Ol' Spot Cruising North Beach
While Warren and I were taking pix in North Beach a couple of weeks back, I caught one of our canine companions cruising the streets. He was intent on something. Note the ears.

Interesting grab shot.
I was wondering if you're still experimenting with color settings. The colors here seem overly saturated and un-natural. The last few color pictures that you posted were like this too.
If this is your preferred "look" on color shots, then I won't say anything about it in your future posts.

You are correct. I like to mess around with the color. It wasn't what I saw. The color of the tile, for ex., wasn't this bright. Just experimenting with saturation, color, and all those fun tools in Picasa and Adobe. Actually, the original photo isn't very vibrant at all.
I was discussing color photographs with one of the guys that works at the photo store on Irving St. He was right. It can be very distracting from what is actually in a photograph. When photos are taken in b&w, the observer has to look at the photo harder to see what is actually there. Color can add to it if it communicates a msg but it can easily distract. Or, it can be the main point of it. I guess it all depends on what you are trying to do.
Color is fun and I like to experiment with it, but I think b&w is the way to go.
