Hello, I was a little confused about the deadline for the current Shoot to Serve Photo Assignment. In the details for the assignment it states that the deadline to submit photos is November 30. However, the Webinar for this assignment is on the 26th. Could you please clarify by when our photos need to be submitted. Thanks for the help!
I look forward to seeing the creativity in people’s photos!
-JoannaWow, @joannapotter, I’m soo sorry – this was a typo on my part. So thank you, very much, for bringing it to our attention! The deadline is November 23, as you thought. I just updated the assignment details to display the correct date.
With that in mind, there’s just a little over a week remaining to photograph the assignment. Hope everyone is able to get out and shoot it this week if you haven’t already!
Wow, yes! Thank you for bringing that to our attention @joannapotter
Here are some photos I took for this assignment…thanks to mum who kindly let me photograph her!

Oh dear! I edited and uploaded these pics on my new laptop, but when I look at them on the family PC screen, I’m not happy with the saturation!!
Could you guys give me some feedback as to whether these photos are indeed too saturated, or if they’re fine on your screen? I’m thinking it’s the laptop screen that needs to be adjusted to render colours correctly…
Thanks so much in advance for your feedback!

Wow @laura-aome, what neat photos! So clean, and bright.
If you have already submitted the DNGs, then you do not necessarily need to resend those. I can decrease saturation if needed on those.
However, looking at the JPGs submitted here, yes, they do look a little over-saturated . . . and kinda greenish overall. That’s to be expected, since the light is filtering through green trees. Instead of taking saturation down too much, I would try adjusting the magenta/green WB slider toward the magenta side and see if that helps the photos look a little more natural.
Laptop screens a little more challenging to color calibrate that monitors. If you are having trouble with that, let us know!
Thank you @jamesstaddon!
Yes, I have already uploaded my photos to the Dropbox…although I think they were just JPGs. Maybe it’s because my camera doesn’t shoot in RAW that I didn’t have DNGs? So at this stage, should I re-edit and re-upload, or do you think it will be fine if I just leave them as is?
I would love to calibrate my laptop screen! I noticed that when I looked at my Photography workbook (which I had been working on on the family PC) on the laptop, the photos looked pale and kinda boring, which was a bit sad! I’ll try and calibrate, but if I have trouble, I might start a Q&A forum thread on that:)

@laura-aome, DNGs are a way that you can export your photos, no matter if the original photo was a RAW photo or JPG. The DNG file type would store your edits with the photo, which then would give James the ability to tweak your edits in the webinar. This lesson in the Sharing course explains the different types of file extensions in more detail, but if you have any more questions about DNGs, feel free to ask!
I took these in our woods. Hopefully they’re not to fall-like, and she’ll be able to use them.

@laura-aome, do you use Lightroom to edit your photos? If so, you can export them as DNG. If not, look around in the photo editing program that you use to see if you are able to “export” or “save as” a file that is “original+edits” or something like that. Those would be the ones to submit via the Dropbox.
If you can not find anything like that, then yes, do go ahead and re-upload the newly-edited JPGs!
