Another Kasual Kilting Pic

[starbkjrus]

This is my four yard box pleat Albanach (a.k.a. Matt Newsome) kilt in the Carolina district tartan. On the way out to a casual dinner w/ my in-laws. This kilt goes from formal to burgers and beer in a heartbeat.


(Hmmm. This picture looks a lot better from the original file before it was uploaded to photobucket.)

The pic looks fine! And that's a great kilt.

For pics that are dark like that, Picassa (we discussed it in another thread -free from google) has some pretty good tools to lighten and balance the colors.

Did you wear it without a sporran, of did you add one later?

I was actually complaining about the pic looking fuzzy, not dark. It's fine color/contrast wise on my LCD / Apple Powermac. I have noticed before though that pix that look fine here appear a bit dark on my CRT at work.

I added the sporran before we went out - a black Freelander Mark III with one of Cavscout's sporran belts.

Looks good.

With respect to your PowerMac looking lighter, it's partly because Apple sets the Mac OS up to display a different gamma setting for the monitor than Windows does... Windows is the same as a TV, when it comes to the gamma settings. On my Macs, I always run them with uncorrected gamma in the Monitors control panel, since I prefer my blacks to be black and my whites to be a true white, not a slightly yellowish white. It also makes sure that my scanned photos look identical to the original prints (or slides), when I view them on my Mac.

Dee, that is a fine-looking kilt (I love that tartan!), but Matt's speciality is in the box pleating so, please may we see a photo of the back of it?

[KiltedCodeWarrior]

Dee, nice looking kilt! And it does look easy to dress up or down, but then aren't they all?

And I agree with Ham, some pics of the pleats please!

I'm shy enough about posting my face on the internet much less my backside.

I'll see what I can do. :rolleyes:
