I just planon using photoshop for any corrections/adjustments.
Who uses RAW over jpg & why?
Anyone have a battery grip & not like it?
I'm not really a huge fan of fucking with my pics digitally *too* much, so all I do is use Gimp or whatever to crop, and Colorsync Utility to adjust exposure/brightness/contrast/saturation/white balance if I fucked things up with I took the pic in the first place.
Yep, I use RAW+JPEG. RAW is excellent if you need to do fine adjustments after the fact. It can also save an otherwise unusable photo if your exposure is off. I've recovered some pretty gnarly blown highlights a few times which would have been impossible with the JPEG. I also save JPEG files alongside the RAW just in case my RAW files can't be read by future programs. I learned this the hard way because I have some early work shot on an old Panasonic FZ8 and I can't open the RAWs with photoshop now.
P.S. - I also want to say that BladeDancer and fakeXsound have some amazing work there. I'm especially impressed with the bird photos, been wanting to do stuff like that by my lenses don't have the reach.
What does a D90 go for body only these days? Did you film much with it?I recently got into full frame with a Nikon D-750 with the 24-120 f/4 kit lens, pretty damn nice lens IMO. I've also got a D7100 DX format, I think the only DX specific lens I have on that is the 17-55 f/2.8, which I kind of regret purchasing. Great daily lens, but really heavy. The 750 w/the kit lens is much better. I've also got the 105mm f/2.8 macro lens, 35mm and 50mm primes and the older 70-200mm f/2.8 VR which is a beast.
I've also got a Nikon D90 I've retired if anyone is looking for a body.
Holy crap...have the image setting on medium RAW and the file size is 24 MB!
