Garden around the National Museum

Just spent my time with my family, this morning was very beautiful. Not too hot, clear sky.
So, snapped some pics. Today is RAW photo day. And the results.... hmmm I like it.
Glad my HS10 still shines.

Only developed to JPG, adjusted contrast, shadow and highlight adjustment, and sharpen. Don't know if it seems to be oversharpened. Still need to learn more.

Enjoy,...

Comparing HS10's JPG and RAW


I've been busy with my thesis lately. I hope to finish it soon.

Just something came into my mind, what to hope from HS10's RAW. Before, I was feeling in no need of RAW, JPG is enough, mainly because the RAW with HS10 costs so much, regarding the writing time.
Still, want to know how the result will be.

So, I tried to find some RAW files, glad to find one. It was taken from the Rabee' Al-Riyadh Expo. Here is one comparison.
The first one is the JPG, the second is RAW.
Both only set to film color V1, nothing else.





Notice the diffference? The RAW seems hold the highlight and shadow very well, in addition to more detail, smoother color rendetion and transition. Still, need more practice to handle the RAW... But it worth...

All in all... just wonder, I should have started shooting RAW earlier. Nothing to regret, I will start now, and welcome to the new world of RAW photography.
