domesticat.net Much ado about the usual nothing. http://domesticat.net/node/1394/atom/feed 2007-10-01T02:44:55+00:00 Jeff's debut http://domesticat.net/2007/10/jeffs-debut 2007-10-01T02:03:08+00:00 2007-10-01T02:44:55+00:00 domesticat Jeff had his first performance with the Huntsville Master Chorale today. I used the performance as an opportunity to test out my new camera. I made some mistakes, but I also got some very good photos.

I borked the white balance prior to the show, so everything after the rehearsal had to be photochopped because the color was blown out. The blue channel was very serviceable, so I extracted just that, deepened the blacks, and got some serviceable black-and-white photos out of them.

I'm slowly learning how to use this camera.

Nevertheless -- see the photos here. Yay Jeff, who donned a tux and did a solo and got kudos for it afterward. I got to show the woman sitting next to me his name and say, "That's my boy."

Warm fuzzy all around!
