These are not post-processed in any way. I simply took too many of them to bother. I tend not to do that unless I’m printing 8×10 or larger, and even then I print using mpix.com, where optional color retouching by their staff is already included in the price.

Really I think what you’re seeing is more a case of incorrect exposure. The lighting conditions were rather challenging. The boys were in the shade, though the background wasn’t (and in some cases parts of them weren’t). I simply had the aperture too wide on some of them. I don’t own a spot meter, and even if I did, it wouldn’t have been practical for candid shots. The Canon evaluative meter didn’t always get a consistent result frame-to-frame (I probably should have shot with spot metering or manual controls, really).

I do sometimes like to bump up the saturation for a really colorful look. Or sometimes I, well, remove it and print on Ilford B&W paper from mpix ;-)

That’s very kind of you. Though I can guarantee you that life with 2 boys isn’t always calm ;-)

You write interesting posts there – and you have a gift for description of your life that has its own calming influence. You’re blessed in your family, your faith and your life – I can’t help feeling envious, but curiously relaxed by watching it at second hand :) Take care. Andy
