I found today that doing a color check of photos when converting type is an important final step. For example, take a look at the thumbnail and then full rendition of the photo below:

Took this on the way home from Hawaii. Yes, on top of everything else, I am a plane geek as well.
Tripod? Check. Batteries? Check. 400′ waterfall? Check. Camera? Oops

Went to Maui this weekend, and it was beautiful. Before I left Oahu, I made sure to pick up a Hoya circular polarizer. I also ensured my batteries were fully charged. What I forgot was packing the cameras on the drive to the airport. I had to make do with my 2MP camera phone. I’ll [...]
