Do-Over!
Remember back when you were a kid and you were playing some type of ball game in the schoolyard. Inevitably, something occurred that no one knew how to rule on. This created the "do-over" and the opportunity to make the play again. Sadly, as we get older, we often find that life does not possess the simplicity of the school yard and do-overs rarely occur.

While this may be true in life, it is not necessarily true in photography. Often if a shot is not how it was intended, it can be done-over. Sometimes.

In this case, fellow blogger JettingThroughLife has requested a color version of this photo posted last week. For another blogger, no problem.

The beauty of the RAW format in digital photography is that it retains all the graphic infomation in the file even if you have used a digital filter or shot in B&W. It's therefore easy to go back and change it. This image had it's color added back in and the auto-everything color tools were applied in Photoshop. I have no idea how to do color in Photoshop. Personally, I think the color photo is rather pedestrian.

While we're here, perhaps we'll do-over another shot. Interestingly, this photo I posted this past week had a mistake in it. Ilford film has a base that has a pinkish cast to it. When I scanned the image I mistakenly had the color settings on, so the scan had a cast to it as well. On my computer at home, the color was barely noticeable but it was obvious on another computer. Setting aside whether or not the pinkish cast makes it a better image, this is the image as it was meant to be:

Do-Over!
