Accrington Web - Today in pictures

They all end up as JPEG's in order to view them, the videos I have watched on the subject say RAW is better as it captures more information and as a result can be manipulated to correct any over or under exposure. It may be that I revert back to JPEG's but at this stage I am giving it a go just to see if there is any change in the quality of the end result. My view today is that its a bit of a faff.

HDR, now that is a whole new ball game, combining three or more bracketed shot to give one perfectly exposed photo, my view is sometimes it can be a bit chocolate boxy, now and again I see one that works, but can be a bit overdone.

Not fond of HDR pics...they look 'manufactured'...unnatural.....though I do have an app(I never thought I would use that word) on my iPad that transforms pics to HDR......and you can make them as subtle or unsubtle as you want.

Aaarrggghhhhh:mad: No pic. There was a snowy owl, a beauty, sitting on top of my garage ... went to get a camera, and when I came back it had gone. Bummer; what a gorgeous creature.

Thanks, I got a few of that one, but they weren`t very clear, it was up and around the branches, upside down, it was difficult to get a clear shot.

Having said that, everyone has their own slant on photography and its not for me to sit in judgement as to what technique anyone should use.

I have been in that lock myself frank, brought back memories of the joiner who kept falling down the sump hole every time he went down there. We even put a shovel in it so he would know where it was and he tripped over that:D:D
