Bristol Zoo Part 4 - Lorikeets

Dissertation writing is getting in the way of more enjoyable things like editing photos, so please forgive the long delays between posts. Another four weeks and it'll all be over and I'll have four months to do nothing by photography.

More from Bristol Zoo here. They have a 'Feed the Lorikeets' enclosure, where you can go in with little cups of liquid feed and the minute you enter the birds swarm all over you.






We went to the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta yesterday so lots of pictures of that to come soon.

  1. By the way, please let me know if the colours look strange to you. They all looked fine in Lightroom but when I came to upload the pictures everything when very green and strange (maybe this is just my browser though).

  2. They look fine to me, but then I don't really know what colours the lorikeets are supposed to be!

  3. Yes - they're green and yucky - and it's because you're using an embedded "ProPhoto" colour profile. When you export out of Lightroom, ensure you have "Convert to sRGB" option ticked. It's also worth changing the default profile to "AdobeRGB", which is much more widely accepted for prints than "ProPhoto", but web exports should always be sRGB.

  4. But I saved them as jpegs from photoshop rather than lightroom and that option for colour profile conversion didn't come up :(

  5. Ah. My guess is that you ran "Edit in Photoshop" from Lightroom before saving as a JPEG - this would have given you the ProPhoto colour profile unless you'd tweaked the defaults. Next time, before saving it's worth going "Edit>Convert to Profile" and choosing sRGB. Either that, or finishing the edit in Photoshop, and then exporting the PSD as a JPEG for your blog. I'm assuming your blog preset has the "convert to sRGB" option turned on...
