Take a look around ...

I'm up shooting the members of Inglewood Golf Club in Kenmore, Washington, and get a few minutes here and there ... not time for anything major, just time enough to try something new. So I've got a couple new forum posts for you to look at, one in the Photo Critiques forum, one in Photography.
The first is just a "found image" exercise I gave myself, and the discussion for it is over in the Photo Critique forum. The thread is titled "Just a curtain call". OK, I'm in this room ... where is a visually interesting "bite" of the room that would make an interesting photograhp? Take a look and tell me what you think.
The other one is my first attempt to use UNI-White Balance, a not-very-well-known way of color balancing your exposures' to your camera's specific sensor rather than the light falling on your subject. The discussion for this one is over in the Photography forum. The title is "Uni White Balance". You need a specifically balanced image for your camera model to start with, and you need to be able to white-balance in your post-processing for the "content" of the image.
It's a technique meant to be used with RAW files ... my first effort was in JPEG, to see if it is even usable in that capture format. The "initial" capture may look awful, such as the wild green that D3 images have with a UNI-WB balance. I was pleasantly surprised with the results ... take a look! To see what it looked like with the UNI-WB applied BEFORE the needed post-processing color corrections, check it out on the forum!
