Beauty could be amplified
With a nice surrounding
… A simple foreground
… A subtle background
Things that do not compete
With the message conveyed.
Some times it is
Decided to remove
All distractions
By focusing on the beauty only.
… Let the darkness surround
Then the beauty wil be amplified.

People has chosen
Votes has been cast
And by end of day
We can see
… Who is chosen to represent
… What party is winning
… New faces at the peoples representatives.
A time such as now
Always bring hope
For the people.
Such as the hope
We see on each new
Leaf of a plant.

Shadows
Are the main thing
That creates dimension
And accentuates texture.
It is the building block of a mood
Represented in
Pictures
And actually in life ….

By the evolution theory
They are genetically not so far
From us, humans.
And the ones in wild forests
Or remote areas
Are really different
Than the ones that have been
Learning about us, humans.
They learnt of our food
And behaviours,
Bad behaviours like
Violence
Agressive
Greed

In the shore areas
Fish are abundant
And it is everyones diet.
Still there are many of them
Wasted if not used.
Expensive and difficult transportation
So they are not able to be eaten fresh elsewhere.
Preservation the only way,
Fermentation and brining is one of the preservation method.
Pindang we call it ..
Interestingly it is kept in enamel pan,
Something rarely seen in the city I live.
Tradition values the people.

All this time I am only using the notebook monitor as it is, meaning that calibration only using the facility provided by the operating system to calibrate the monitor for best use. All could be found in the Control Panel, in the Display or Color Management icons. But for photographs actually it is not sufficient to get the intended actual color, either for printing or for web display. So all of the viewer here have to forgive my posts prior to this if the color of the photos is not correct or not as intended. Either it is the detail, saturation, color and others that relate to it.
Last Sunday I had access to the Spyder 4 Elite display calibration unit and used it to calibrate my notebook’s display. The process is very easy, just install the software provided and follow the step by step instructions from the software. Than the notebook display is fully calibrated and analysed. Since my notebook is not the high end type which is fully adjustable, at least it is still able to be calibrated. Well for those who uses Apple products such as iMac, Mac Book etc, might not have the same problem as Windows based PC’s in color management so the urgency to calibrate is not so much.
The result is striking, at least from the photos in the web from professional photographers which is really looking different now. I hope that my photo processing now will get the actual intended colors, not as previously. Fortunately it is not missing by very much, so most of it are still acceptable.
Here is a preview of the calibration process and tools:
Untuk kebutuhan fotografi kita menginginkan hasil dengan warna yang sesuai dengan saat kita memotret, terutama saat berinteraksi dengan manusia misalnya untuk pembuatan portrait, ataupun liputan event-event. Juga saat memotret produk secara komersial, reproduksi warna yang akurat merupakan syarat utama. Dalam hal ini dibutuhkan sarana kerja yang terkalibrasi dengan baik supaya menghasilkan warna yang akurat dan stabil. Salah satu alat yang perlu untuk dikalibrasi adalah display monitor komputer kita.
Menggunakan Spyder 4 Elite proses kalibrasi sangat mudah, tinggal mengikuti saja langkah-langkah panduan pada piranti lunak yang disertakan.
