Going RAW .............

I have used the RAW setting on my camera before but I could not get the hang of how to edit them and they did take up a lot of space on my memory card too, but once again the Practical Photography mag has given me a few heads ups on the best way to use and edit RAW files.

Here is 2 portraits of Erin I have tweeked up and no photoshop needed just adjustments in brightness, contrast, hue, saturation and sharpness.

Using RAW has not degraded the quality of the photo after editing unlike a jpeg and as someone who likes to play with my pics I think I will shoot a bit more in this form, just need a bigger memory card! Maybe 16G!!!!!

Howdy......................

Yes it has been ages since my last post , but I've been having a melt down again!! All Etihad's fault.

To keep my mind off the CR%P that just seems to keep flowing, I've tried to keep my self in a creative frame of mind! Kind of works for a while at least.

I got my hands on a copy of Practical Photography which gave me some inspiration to play with my camera, these pics are what I came up with after reading one of the articals..........

Working with small things is something I can do inside, these Monopoly tokens were fun to play with I think I might have to fosick around for some more minis to take pics with.

And here is my first layout in nearly 2 months, am finding it hard to scrap..........

I have also been doing Inchies will post pics next time....
