Am not sure though if the printing labs adjusted the photos but when I checked on it and it was quite good compared looking at my monitors. I just leave it as is as long as the histograms are good after all that matters to me are the prints. I assumed that most viewers don't have the same monitor calibrations some may look at it a bit darker, or brighter or some might see it as properly exposed. Thats one thing I considered but thanks a lot for your comment boss markyap, I really appreciate it.

check the back of the print...there will be series of numbers if they changed anything...
if all you see are n n n n then its unaltered...

my point is... my monitors are calibrated properly. it comes out im my monitor as being too bright...that means your image is slightly over exposed. basically fill flash was too strong. no histogram can say otherwise. histogram can tell you that it didnt go over its range but the image is still bright. it didnt blend/comeout as well as it could have with less fill flash...gets mo na?!
ok now if it comes out on other peoples monitor as dark or properly exposed then they need to calibrate their monitor.

btw, i dont think your getting the right idea about monitor calibrations...better research on that

ok now, im not asking you to edit your photo. so by all means leave it as is...all im saying is that the image is slightly over...not the perfect exposure...meaning you could have taken more time preparing for that shot and made the proper metering with your flash...blah blah blah (i dont want to explain/mention everything)...to get it perfect/right when you took it (thats how you like it right? ...read my 1st post regarding ur image. i said try -1/3 or -2/3 less than the current output of the flash for that shot to get more detail on the subject...thats all...im only giving you my views on how you can improve in taking that shot...no need to be so defensive with your histogram...like i said, it doesnt matter.
bottomline, based on that shot, your fill flash was just too strong.

new establishment in this area, well... for me. dugay naman gud wa masaag aning lugara


one of those stuff at home.


atbang sa balay ... giputlan sila sa maynilad kay ilang linya sauna diretso sa source
walay metro metro ... mga squatters ni sila .. naa sa riles puyo
24 hrs ang pila ani kay walay hunong hunong kawos ug tubig.

in this baranggay, i think we have 4 or more old-school deepwell watersource .. cguro before 90's lisud tubig aning lugara
kay i haven't experience to have water shortage in this area since `90

sa may ilog


bulag sa ilalim ng tulay


sa likuran, sa may gilid ng simbahan
puno na ug tao ang sulod .. mao sa luyo na lang simba ang uban


watch and learn
this is how street vendors learn the trade, by observing how their parents
do the trick at an early age.


mingaw man, manghinguto sa ta

I can only see the filename of the images at the back of the prints boss. And I know this printing lab, they don't do adjustments, they just print whats in your card. I know about monitor calibrations. Thats why am a bit worried because not everybody has the calibrated monitors for viewing so I just leave it as how it looks like in my histogram and camera LCD. Don't have any choices boss because I was concern more on the print results because its a requirement. I know its overexposed, I can see it in my monitor too but I have no choice because like I said if it looks good on print I couldn't care for more. Am not being defensive or whatsoever, honestly am very much thankful for your comments because now I know some images won't look good at everybody's monitor and that gives me more motivation to do my stuff right. Thanks boss markyap.
