Got the blues!

Garth,

Thanks for the wonderful compliment, and for the input from such a prolific photo taker and accomplished artist. I don't know how many photos I've taken but I'm sure I couldn't match that number.

Holly,

Mi casa es su casa. I'm learning a lot from you guys, it's all just one big playground for learning. Where would I be without this wonderful resource?

Holly,

I have old Kodak cards I must have bought 20 years ago, and I noticed the gray was a little warm.

It's too bad we can't compare all our cameras side by side to see if they behave the same capturing the same scene.

Mike,

I'm sure that after a year and a half you will have a high number of pictures too! I've had my D100 just a few days under two years time. The counter counts to 9999. I have reached 9999 six times, and counting.

I know I am late and all, but what kind of camera did you end up getting Mike?

Nevermind! I saw the answer already...duh.

I would guess your old card has faded/changed color over the years.

It's too bad we can't compare all our cameras side by side to see if they behave the same capturing the same scene.

That would be a really interesting exercise Garth. If we all had a color target or a color chart (which I don't), or a printout of one from the same printer, we could take photos of the target under controlled lighting, white balance and camera setup conditions. Then upload the files straight to an ftp site (no editing in software programs). Then one could download them and view them in your own display software, which would yield information relative to your own software and color space settings, but interesting nonetheless. Assuming everyone's setup was indeed the same, any hue changes between images could be attributed to sensor calibration and/or different lenses.

Regards,

Holly
