I am so annoyed and ready to be done with my printing issues. Costco prints came back with similar problems as Mpix. Too dark, too much contrast. I fooled around with my monitor screen calibration and contacted my local favorite photographer (the awesome and talented Erin Tole Photography, check her out!) who thought my problem is unreliable printing source. I am not so sure since once upon a time I had great results with Kodak Gallery, a non-professional site. But she recommended White House Custom Color and I have gotten an account set up with them. They do some test prints when you get started and I am hopeful that they will be able to guide me though any issues. I am also excited to be using a professional grade printing source. So it will be a little while before I get updated pictures out to the family, but they will come. My Costco canvas turned out okay but I am going to try someone else for Katya's.
We have been having a really fun summer. Berry picking at Sauvie Island, parks, camping, dance class, swim lessons start in August and more. I have been taking pictures but getting around to processing them always takes a while. Boy, if I was a film photographer the rolls would really be piling up! I feel fortunate to be learning the craft in this digital age, though sitting in front of the computer processing my RAW files into nice looking JPEGS sometimes feels like a darkroom.
Much love, Brenda
