Nice work!

 

Thats sik.. time for a new camera myself after a few mods

 

Do any of you guys know how to photoshop??

 

Damn using a DSLR is hard enough, but you guys using photo enhance programs to make the pictures even better are insane! Looks good

 

looks nice! I going to have to learn how use my camera!

 

Nice pix

 

I've shot RAW a few times but I honestly couldn't see any differences, or perhaps I am still a newb on photography.
All I could see was that it was similiar to Jpeg and RAW format took more memory.

Based on your sample though I may have to look into it again

 

Thank you! I'm actually still learning myself. I need to work on my composition more cause I keep taking pictures with cluttered backgrounds

 

Hey John, if that was your first, lets see your latest. That first attempt was pretty slick. I can only imagine your progression.

 

If you shoot RAW, you likely don't even need multiple exposures. I sometimes process my RAW with the linear setting in DPP and combine it with the regularly processed image. For example:

This single exposure was taken on the Isle of Capri.


RAW image processed normally. Notice the blown highlights in the surf and the washed-out skies:




RAW image processed as linear data. Notice the highlight areas now have usable detail:




Combined image (also using Photomatix) from the two processed images:




It's quick and dirty, there are some things I'd clean up and tweak in the image, but you get the idea.
