What is the difference between the low resolution pictures vs. pictures shipped?
Pictures shown in the galleries for purchase are at a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi) and are not post processed for optimal color, brightness, sharpness, and importantly noise reduction. This is done for faster viewing as images that are high resolution (300dpi) would take longer to upload and view.

Each image that is purchased is individually worked on by myself before I send it off for printing. Images shot at night or indoors with poor lighting (and no strobe lights used) may have what is called excess "noise". Noise makes the image look not as sharp and although with prints 11x14 or smaller, may not always be noticeable, I use software that eliminates or reduces the noise for a more pleasing result in ALL of my work. Also, to make an image have that "pop", enhancing the color/hue saturation and contrast, as well as, working with the brightness levels (known as curves in Photoshop) will create an image far different (and superior!) than what comes right out of the camera...

Below is an example of an image, with little noise to begin with, but shot without the use of a strobe in a somewhat dark ice rink. The image on the left is at low resolution and no post processing, while the image on the right has been worked on...see the difference? Images in the galleries for purchase will look like the left example, but will be worked on and sent off for printing as the example on the right.

Here is another example of how working extensively on a file shot through foggy/smudgy glass at a dark ice rink can be drastically improved by using Photoshop. Hard to tell the shot was taken through ice rink glass!
