johnnyboy Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 "Autum Nebula" Great name Dennis. Perfect association. Is that the tile some of us were suggesting names for? Quote
DennisLinkletter Posted May 4, 2008 Author Report Posted May 4, 2008 Yup.. "Autum Nebula" Great name Dennis. Perfect association. Is that the tile some of us were suggesting names for? Yup.. Thanks.. Quote
Fetzervalve Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 Much better. May I suggest about 4 pictures with only 2 rows or so per pic. That way the flash would hit them more or less the same. The rows on the sides are under lit and may not faithfully represent. Quote
DennisLinkletter Posted May 5, 2008 Author Report Posted May 5, 2008 Come to Bali for a week of R&R Much better. May I suggest about 4 pictures with only 2 rows or so per pic. That way the flash would hit them more or less the same. The rows on the sides are under lit and may not faithfully represent. That would be relevant only if we all had calibrated monitors.. Chances are good that most of us are seeing something just a little different regardless.. nature of the beast. And then if we take white point balance into consideration.. Argh it really gets frustrating. BTW I always shoot with a tripod using the timer and no flash to "attempt" to most accurately represent the different tiles colors.. But shots of the same cookers taken (with no flash) at different times of the day still look a lil' different.. Always best to fly here, pick out your Komodo and then go to Bali for a week of R&R before returning to the real world.. Quote

It was like pulling teeth getting the approval on the purchase to begin with !!! Quote

Conodo12 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Posted May 5, 2008 Hi Dennis - Call me picky but I think you should replace the Matte Terra Cotta tile with a new sample tile. The one in the picture has a chip out of the top right corner - Just an 'fyi'! Quote
johnnyboy Posted May 5, 2008 Report Posted May 5, 2008 Condo12, Please don't tell us you're worried someone will order that color, then be upset when their KK arrives without that chip in it. (Just funninn wit ya) Quote
Conodo12 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Posted May 5, 2008 Heh Heh - That's classic! Nah, I know how picky Dennis is and I figured the little chip just got past his eagle eye! Quote
DennisLinkletter Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Posted May 6, 2008 to be used in house Heh Heh - That's classic! Nah' date=' I know how picky Dennis is and I figured the little chip just got past his eagle eye! [/quote'] Actually that shot was taken to be used in house so my staff can easily see the tiles codes for ordering/discussion... But it's doing it's job and a bit more now.. Quote
TheNakedWhiz Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 Dennis, if you shot the photos of the cookers in raw format and used a gray card, you could eliminate most of the color difference caused by different lighting at different times of the day. Also some cameras have a custom white balance setting that you can use to shoot a gray card and then apply that white balance setting to other photos you take in JPG. Quote
scouterpf Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 I am not too sure, but, Drunk J has posted our KK in matte terracotta for reference and the white snow should be easy to balance on your monitor. Of course a Kodak 18 % grey card would be ideal. Scouterpf ( and the snow is finally gone.) Quote
jdbower Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 I actually recommend a WhiBal card, like a KK they're very durable. Quote
TheNakedWhiz Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 I wasn't going to confuse Dennis by getting technical (whibal vs. gray), LOL! Actually, if Dennis will ship me a sheet of every tile color, I could take some photos for him using a softbox and raw and a whibal card. It would give me something to do between charcoal tests, lol! Quote
Sanny Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 Whizzy, you are a thoughtful man. Nuts, without question. And you have WAY too much time between charcoal tests, I think. But you're thoughtful! Quote
TheNakedWhiz Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 Oh, Sanny! Don't you know the incredible stimulation and satisfacton to be had when setting up the lighting, tethering your camera to your laptop and shooting product shots? Ooh, it's sending shivers through me just thinking about it, LOL! Quote
