I forgot to post these from a little while ago!

I have pictures, these posts are always so much more fun with pictures! Here are some images almost straight from the camera (I added a little more darkness to the backs...

I was shooting with my in camera light meter at about 1/2 stop overexposed, which is really hit and miss if you think about it. If my light meter lands on something dark, it will overexpose even more and if it lands on something light it could very well underexpose the images. I actually think I got some really perfect exposures going in the first and last images, but the ones in the middle I am suspicious are a little underexposed because the colors went a little shifty on me. I hear that happens when you underexpose. The dark areas are a little too green and the skin tones are like perfect, so that makes me think that my colors shifted a little in the dark areas and would be a side effect of underexposing. do you see how the contrast and the colors are really nice in the first and last image? I am thinking that is due to a better exposure. I am definitely getting a lot closer to where I want to be, though!

And here they are again with some density correction. I am on this kick lately where I want my black to be almost a true black, so here they are and then some thoughts...
