working in RAW

that's camera raw

i'm on week two of

marie otero's

digital magic

on line class

(loving it!)

i don't shoot in raw

so i've never been exposed to it

or did i know that i could use my jpegs

marie has shown us the difference

and how to clean up an otherwise

disappointing photo

when i'm out taking photographs

first i take a lot and second i don't

like to think about it too much

my camera is usually set on automatic

(except when indoors or wheni have the patience)

and i work on them when i get home

what i do think about is

"that's a great shape", or

" that will make a great frame"

or cool grunge

"i can make a great overlap in ps"

or just " i like that"

so needless to say when i get home

i spend alot of time organizing and

cleaning up my favorite shots

above a shot from my paris trip

we where on the shady side of the

opera garnier

working in raw makes it so easy to

improve any photo

another before and after
the day before we went to the
cimetiere du pere-lachaise
i took a photo class with sophie pasquet
as we wondered around montmartre
it was a very hazy day
we played with my camera settings
to get some really great shots
so the next morning when we got to the
cemetery my camera was still on manual
and i took about 20 photos before i noticed
(not enough coffee)
i did try to fix them while on my trip with not much luck
and now that i know about raw......
it's a whole new world !!!
thanks marie!!
