Hokay, this should be the last of the Philly related posts for a while. Lacroix is another one of those places on the proverbial college bucket list that I never got around to. I accidentally blurted out a bit loudly in the restaurant that the feeling of it was like a mini, dumbed down Per Se (I meant no offense by that!). We had a cute view of the park and its charming holiday lights.
I was creepily hoping to meet Foodie at Fifteen, but am not sure if he works there anymore. Everything was very lovely and I left no morsel untouched. The French press pot at the end of the meal probably could have served five people. I shamelessly asked for some of it to go in a paper cup, because I cannot waste good Ethiopian coffee!
Just simple, good food.
I also wanted to give you guys an idea of how horrid the "before" pictures are. You can see them in this screenshot in all their orange/underexposed glory. Everything was edited in Adobe Camera Raw, then adjusted for levels in Photoshop and a bit punch-added.
It sucks that auto white balance sucks so much in these conditions.
I've never used Adobe Camera Raw, but I like the way it looks, I may have to try it out!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos as always!
wow, you were really able to fix the wb in acr! i'm starting to become a raw convert.
ReplyDeleteYour dining partner(s) always add that extra class to the food pics.
ReplyDeletemaybe i should look into raw! :P
ReplyDeleteWhat a presentation! Thank you for the review.
ReplyDeleteI see mixed light. RAW is a godsend when it comes to dealing with crappy WB issues. And you are doing just fine.
Consider using your camera's custom WB feature to simplify your post-processing, if you can.
You is canon! me Canon, Nikon, and Leica, everything depends on my mood, very nice gallery and tones
ReplyDeleteI love shooting RAW.
ReplyDeletegreat ones dear, i love your food design photo :)

Love that you shared the "before" pictures - that's how my photos always look in dim light!
ReplyDeleteYou should teach a Photoshop class. I have a Photoshop for dummies class, but its v. overwhelming! Teach me Alice!
ReplyDeleteI mean book.. yikes.bren
ReplyDeleteregular yikes.
ReplyDeleteI run into this exact same problem all the time. How did you bring them back? What ISO? I find even shooting RAW that I still end up with grainy shots...
ReplyDeleteI love that you've provided the "before" screenshot. White balance is a constant battle with night shots! You're a pro
