"Spyder2Express - Use It" puzzling title ?.. Its a reminder to my self

I always think of Toys"R"Us when i see this shop and i shouldn't. This shop sell so many crazy toys, most of them from another time. During the day the front is normally filled with garden elf's.

I post processed this image, uploaded and realized that i had not calibrated my monitor. Found my Spyder2Express (it calibrates monitors in three easy steps), plugged it in the usb port and hang it on my monitor. Spyder2Express will then read different color values of the screen and make a profile. It takes Spyder2Express a couple of minutes to run and the monitor should have been on for some time, before you use Spyder2Express.

Spyder2Express, i use it for all my calibration, but i will soon update to Spyder3. If you do not know Spyder2Express you should look it up.

Terrific photo. I got spyder express about 2 months ago - thank goodness. Color is hard enough!

Yes that toy shop has some crazy things and they aren't very expensive.

Im working on some "over processed" (at least with regards to my regular style) shots, but the client wanted them that way and we all know who's the boss ;)

That's Ali Baba's cave! Well, what I imagined it could be when I was a child!

Can't wait to see the "over processed" shots, I love that class of pictures! :)

Love this nighttime shot. Perfect exposure and colors. Lots of details and great clarity.

Somehow this image feels a little heavy to the right, but I love how I can see all the details in the store window!
