Not as good as the last crab from Jérome BTW...

I had a hard time for this one, it was hard to catch up the speed with only 1/1000th sec. Ah! Wildlife photography!

I like it...but did the "gamut warning" flashed on yours as well?
It doesn't matter for now, here, but I like to check it from time to time, and sometimes (particularly with greens) it gives me a winter wonderland spirit. It's been a long time that I haven't printed (with care) something anyway.

The gamut warning depends on what the computer thinks you output medium will be. If you set your output medium to typewriter paper, you will get it a lot more than if you set it to a large gamut screen. So I am not really understanding the problem here: the leaves image is saved in the sRGB color space, which only includes colors that all computer screens can display. Consequently, you should not get a gamut warning unless you want to print that picture and let the computer check if your printer can print all these shades of green. A warning does not make sense if all you want is to display the picture onscreen.

And since todays fashionable monochrome is green:

I was thinking about the print side...
I check them for the sake of checking them: I'm weird...

-I kept my old Canon profiles (but I don't have that printer anymore)
-I'm checking the standard CMYK
-I'm also checking for a Fuji Frontier that I used to operate.

I, sometimes, print some photos in order to send them to the family. Nothing more.

Hi Sandrine,

Yes, this is over saturated for CMYK, and probably for any printing method. When working for screen, I never check the gamut warning in other color spaces, unless I'm looking for certain appearance that requires it.

I'm just trying to train my eyes for colour, so I keep checking and checking again, sometimes I try to predict the problems... I reckon it's working better and better.

When I was a labtech I was pretty confident with colour casts, but it was everyday training. And it's something always funny to have the trainees asking you for a colour compensation and see their jaw dropping when you answer " 10 points Mag' and problably 5 points yellow"... It was mere showing off... I know :)

But now, I'm not trained anymore and besides, I'm getting older. :)

Some very nice pictures in this thread, which makes it a challenge to add something worthy to the collection. Nevertheless, please allow me to share one of mine.

Cem,

This is fine!

You took your time,

but the sun is always there, waiting for us each day,

behind the details of the leaning, reaching crisscrossed trees that make so much of the fabric of life.

Nicely done Cem. The woods are always visually appealing, but often difficult to capture well. I've seen your scene, but never managed to get it quite right with my camera.
