The Camera Doesn't Lie ...

... but the color printer makes mockery of the truth

So you found out the camera doesn't lie but the color printer does. My photographer had just gotten his first color camera (which makes me really old) and my wedding dress turned out robin's egg blue. I bought the black and whites he also took. Best of luck in October. From the picyure of you I can't imagine you in anything not colorful. I also enjoy your fun way of writing.

    Post your story!

    Thanks--always nice to see you, Carol, I so much enjoy your work. I cited Grand Uncle as a stellar piece in my post on a recommended reading list.

    Thank you so much about Grand Uncle. Every now and then I get a review of it and I didn't know why since it was so long ago.

This is a fun and interesting story, well told and clear.
Technology offers us instant photos, cameras in our phones, and computers on or wrists. But, even technology can go astray.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

Lavender's such a pretty shade. Don't worry too much about how the hair color will look. You could always wear a wig. I've noticed on TV that hair colors etc. aren't always consistent. You can't expect perfection from the amateurs. I no longer take pictures since Polaroids are no longer in use. Yes, hope for a professional photographer being on hand. There probably will be. judi

I enjoyed reading about your hair colour. It is strange how in pictures, colours do not always appear as they should be. Let's hope your last line comes true and "there will be a professional at the wedding who is savvy with color filters and photo shopping."

Ha-ha! I love stories about your hair color. I am sure, there will be a professional with a good camera at the wedding, which will have a proper filter (lol).

You are a very funny person. I enjoyed the humor and wit of this. Your son is getting married in October, a few days after my birthday (smile). I love October.

I hope it will be a grand wedding. Very well written and presented, I enjoyed.

I think you will be ok if they have a professional photographer. Your daughter's graduation pictures were taken with a regular camera. The pictures can be, I believe corrected by the computer. Ask the photographer at the wedding or see if you can get his number ahead of time.
Congratulations to your son and his future bride.

Hello Liz.

You can even change colors and hues using computer software. I had pictures of my granddaughters and I just use some free software I found on the Internet, and it made the colors more natural. I hope you get the color palette worked out before the wedding day.

Oh my!! I can't imagine all of those interesting colors. I don't mess with my hair. It's just a salt and pepper color. Now, I fear more salt than pepper, but I have decided it depends on the lighting. LOL Thank you for sharing.

That is really strange, Liz. I can see that the red in the first shot might come out too vivid. The fast printers at chain stores aren't the best. But to have all of your colours turn out so completely different is ridicules. I think I'd find another print shop.
