Oscar, I have to ask, why do your photos always have such an odd tint to them? I know you use a really good camera, but the colour tint that you use doesn't (in my opinion) show off your work to the best of it's ability.

The one thing I usually do is use the D-lighting control in my Nikon photo editing software. That often helps enhance contrast, fix exposure issues, and other things, in one fell swoop rather than time-consuming individual setting tweaks. I think the settings I use improve the image compared to what came out of my camera. But I'll have to look into whether different tools or settings (including camera settings) might be better.

I take it that you're not referring to the wildfire smoke tint in my recent Alberta and some other photos, which is irrelevant to the Iowa photo you were reacting to.

Anyway, Indianola Ave. => Amber Road (Ludington MI):

Active D-lighting shouldn't matter. That just lifts additional detail out of the shadows. It looks as if you are either using a special colour profile, or the white balance setting isn't correctly set.

Anyways, it's no matter, just something that I noticed.

Could also be a monitor/screen that could use calibration. Among millions of screens and devices, it will rarely be perfect, and the same goes for many of my photos. There's some free software which I use called Calibrize.

Having a son with some color blindness sort of "resets" one's perception of color and how it's perceived by the rest of the world. (See: The Dress for that phenomenon.)

Red Deer Rd → Rosendo Rosell Rd (Miami Beach, FL)

Miami-Dade County seems to particularly love these honorary street names, even giving some streets multiple such names, such as here at the east end of FL 934.
