Good to see someone else went :) Is the white balance in the third pic right? She's awfully pale if it is.

Was there last night and will be there again tomorrow night. Processing my photos from last night now.

3rd pic white balance is OK (line around neckline was white) - subject had a lot of pale makeup :-)

I'm fairly sure it's not my monitor (I have use a retina burning LCD) but your pics look a bit dark. Try and increase the brightness a bit.

It's pretty hard taking pics of ppl in the bright afternoon sun - too many shadows. Have a go at using the flash next time to lighten up the face so that you can see the shadows :)

Hmmm, using a Dell 20" widescreen LCD, they look OK here and on the older 21" CRT on the other machine

Wonder whats up - does the colour look wacky on all of them as well?

Not sure what you mean by whacky, but the colours aren't that saturated. They're a bit dull.

OK - you couldn't take one, change the saturatation and brightness and then repost it could you?

Then I could see what it looks like on my system

Cheers

It probably doesn't help that they're tagged (and I assume coded) Adobe RGB and it seems that the gamma is 1.8 hence the dark appearance. Displayed bearing these factors in mind they look great, just not in a non-colour managed web Browser.
