RAW

Ive done it,ive taken the leap,a milestone in my photography journey. Ive moved over to shooting in raw format. To some people..thats nothing to shout home about,but to me it feels like a big step.
Recently ive been having problems with some of my shots..pixels showing through and over sharpening..it turns out the problem was down to the jpeg compression settings on my camera so the best way to solve the problem was to change over from shooting in jpeg. Ive been practicing for the last couple of days..got some good shots so far. I cant believe how different it is processing in raw. I think the most obvious difference for me is the color. Even though i shot in jpeg before i editted in ACR using mostly presets with minor adjustments and although the results were good..its a whole different ball game when it comes to editting raw shots. Im having so much fun. My only problem is that im gonna need a much bigger memory card..my card is only 1gb so whereas it gave me nearly 400 shots in jpeg..it only gives me 50 in raw.
These are just a few shots i have taken over the last few days practicing.


I took these on a nice long walk with my dog...enjoying the signs of autumn..i love the colors of autumn..so warm!
And a couple of shots of my lovely Hollydog..miserable because its been raining all the time and she cant play outside.
