I live and die by accurate colors, and that is why I am a firm believer in knowing your color profile and keeping all pieces of the process in check.
I have long preached shooting and working in, at least, AdobeRGB and this article goes a long way in explaining why I am so adamant about color accuracy. Your camera, monitor, software, and printer all need to be able to show colors as you what them to. Without calibration in a thought through color profile you simply will not know what people will see. I need the blue sky to be the same blue when I shoot, edit, print, and share to the web.

- Dave is the Director of Communications for Volunteers of America - Northern Rockies. Raised in the western suburbs of Chicago, IL, he moved to the west when he was 20-years-old, and he “is never looking back.” Dave has two passions, one for the outdoors and one for photography. To this end, he spends much of his time in the ecosystems in and around Yellowstone National Park. This gives him a perspective on the wildlife and the ecosystem that few have. Dave is also an adjunct faculty member at Rocky Mountain College in Billings, MT, where he teaches middle- and upper-division photography courses. Working as photographer, Dave’s assignments include everything from commercial work and journalism, to wildlife and landscape photography. His extensive time in the field shows through in online galleries which are loaded with images of the fragile places he travels to. His work can be viewed at www.DaveShumway.com.
