Last weekend was Butter and Eggs Days in Petaluma, California (where I live), and that means a parade. I still haven’t found the time to write (I’ve been working on lots of reviews for Macworld), but I managed to get away on Saturday and take a few shots of the parade.
You can view the gallery here.
All images were taken with my Nikon D70. I didn’t have time to enhance them in Photoshop. I converted them to black and white in iPhoto, applied the Enhance effect, and made a few tweaks in the Adjust palette. Here are a couple of tips:
1. You can adjust the Gray balance by Command-clicking in the image. Experiment to find the right gray.
2. I recommend sharpening digital images (especially if you are going to print them to an iPhoto book). I sharpened these images by 10.
Note that these photographs are for personal use only. NO commercial use. These photographs are not model released.

Julio,
I’d be happy to send you a copy.
I tried going to your Web site, but no luck. Please send your email address to me at robert[at]handpickedsoftware.com. I may have more than one shot of you.
Great costumes!
Thanks!
