Day 303: Tulips

Hello again!! This is an update regarding the tulips post.  I checked the photos below in another computer and for my surprise the photo that looked better was the one that in my monitor looked dull!! My brain started to overheat and I thought how can this be happening?!! It was working perfectly fine with the previous posts.  I continued reading and it seems like it was more complex than I first thought.  The problem with the visualization of colors in not only related with the color gamut but with the different browsers that you use to see the photo!! Grrrr!!
At least now I understand a bit more about the problem, but still need more researching...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank God it's Thursday!! It was an annoying and frustrating day today :(  I took several photos of the tulips that my lovely hubby gave me. I was happy with the shots, but after I exported the chosen on to upload it to the blog the colors weren't just right! The photo looked dull.  I suspected it was related with the wide gamut that the original photo have and probably the jpeg couldn't handle it.  I searched on the internet a way to solve my problem but none of the suggestions worked, I couldn't convert the image to look like the original one :(

In the end, I made a print screen and the colors looked kind of like the original.  I want to share with you both photos, so you can see why I'm complaining :P

Oh well... I'll need to search more and try to find out what to do in this kind of situations.

Image capture from the original:

Exported photo: no vibrancy, no brightness, no light! Grrrrrr!!!

Day 292: Sponge Bob

In a previous post I took a photo of Gary, so I had to take a photo of Bob also hehehe He is also inside of our aquarium.  I guess this Sponge Bob is a little bit creepy hehe but it's perfect for the Halloween spirit!

Day 267: Larvae

This photo came to me, I didn't even need to go find it hehehe I was doing my morning routine when I suddenly look at my feet and saw something on my right sock, but it wasn't moving or at least didn't seem to be moving.  I removed it almost immediately and looked closer and yes! there was some kind of worm or larvae there, eating the fabric of my sock hehehehe  Seems like I attract bugs loool

I stopped everything I was doing and went for the camera.  As you can imagine, this subject didn't move too fast so I could spend some time taking photos (besides I'm not afraid of this kind of bugs). It was quite interesting, I saw her chewing my sock, literally!

After finishing the photo session I released her, hopefully she will be happy in her new home. There is one thing that still don't understand, how did she ended up on my sock?

Day 266: Gridded colors

I was experimenting with the camera again :)  My original idea wasn't this photo but truth is I didn't like my original idea once I could see it, so I tried other approaches and voila!

Day 256: Yellow

I like this photo because of the fragility that it seems to have.  I love the transparency of the leaf and the shape that it has.

Day 254: Rainbow

Everyday I have this beautiful rainbow filling the whole room, the ground and the walls.  Maybe one day I'll find the pot of gold in one of these :P

Day 252: Looking up

I can't help but love the colors of the leaves while been bathing by the sun.  It give me the feeling of life and happiness.

Day 227: Final stage

At the end, the leaf starts to become brownish and to shrink.

Day 226: Gradually

Here we are again with the trees and the changing leaves :)  The following posts will mainly show how the leaf decay and the nice colors it has while decaying.

Day 220: It started...

In this photo you can see how the leaves are switching colors. From the distance they look gorgeous!! It's curious that not all the trees of this kind change the leaves at the same time, so some of them have several color leaves while others have still green leave.

Day 219: Fall is here

Since a while ago the trees were changing their colors... that only means one thing...the summer is ended... Fall is upon us!

There are some trees though that have beautiful colors when the fall comes.  It's amazing how their leaves start changing color from green, to red, orange, yellow

Day 206: Paths

I wonder why she chose that particular path and not the other one?

Day 205: World Cup

When we were visiting LA, my hubby and I went to the LACMA, it's an amazing museum! (we love museums!)

There was a World Cup Expo in one of the buildings.  The first thing that we saw was the recreation of the World Cup Stadium in a very creative way.  I must say that I really love the idea that the creator had when he represented the variety of people in the world with action figures and religious figurines.
