Nature Day at the Aquarium in Utah!

Day at the Aquarium in Utah! · 09:20 PM

Hi!
I went to the Aquarium on Sunday and decided to test my K20D.
This is what I got.

This is my first real attempt at using the K20D...be kind LOL

More to come tomorrow after I verify what is the issue with the color and detail not showing the way it looks before it get's attached.

Nice detail in the flashed photos.
Look forward to your others.

Cool series love the Jelly fish.

Thanks guys, I am going to take my time today to make sure I get it right. :-)
Thank God I had my 50mm 1.7 because for the most part you are not allowed to use flash.
This is a smallish Aquarium...I wish I could go back to the one in Dallas, that one was nice but oh well.

I am at work and the screen sucks here, so Ill comment on the images later. I wanted to chime in Re. the color. make sure the images are converted to sRGB prior to posting in the web, that's the biggie (AdobeRGB will mess things up in some systems).

So I do not understand this.
I am not using Adobe RGB on my K20D but I just noticed that when RAM opens it is showing ADOBE RGB at the bottom where it displays some info.
That is probably why it is less colorful when I posted them...right?

I can't evaluate the color in my scree but I am taking your word on the fact that they don't look right, then, yes!, it is because it at one point converted to AdobeRGB, you need to change that to sRGB (I usually do this in lightroom, as I export the image I can set the colorspace to sRGB, and then upload to flickr, and then post a link here). Hope this helps.

Ah I think it could be Lightroom. I never checked that option so maybe it is actually converting it to Adobe then when I try to use Photoshop to edit directly from the file I imported with Lightroom it reads it as ADOBE or something lol
I will check all things today but yes it lacks the "punch" they had before posting.
