went around downtown toronto witth the northster. it was fan expo weekend in toronto, as well as buskerfest. i had 243 shots. 15 were good. but there was a problem: they were all in raw; no jpg copy. i don't know what happened but i will worry about it tomorrow as right now i feel too sleepy and i'm falling asleep while i type. and that is not good!
so, a flower shot it is; taken this morning as i was testing the lenses..
i will try again tomorrow to have a better shot than this.
How do you change raw to jpeg? Haven't figured that out on my camera yet or even why! There is everything right with this shot - the flower is somewhat to the side and the focus is just neat!
@maggiemae - you can get a jpeg image out of a raw image in-camera or if you have programs such as photoshop and lightroom. i don't know if there are on-line programs where you can process raw, we'll have to search the discussion page because i know it's been discussed every now and then ever since i started 365. my nikon has a 'retouch' menu and one of the functions is to process the raw files. the resulting image is in jpeg. in photoshop, you have all sorts of file choices when you process your raw image, jpeg, png, psd, and others i can't remember. i will check your camera's model later on and see if it has a similar function as mine. my canon camera probably has one, too, but i just never discovered as its menus are rather more complicated than nikon's straightforward ones. you can shoot raw + jpg in your camera if you set it in quality images. as you take beautiful sceneries of NZ, and your photo had been displayed in one or two places if i remember it right, the resulting image from raw has much more details that you don't see with your eyes or the jpeg image. the first time i saw the difference, i set my cameras immediately to take raw+peg images. thanks, maggiemae.
Vikki... are you using Lightroom? If so, you have to fix your settings so it recognizes the RAW and JPEG as two separate files... if your camera is set to shoot both, and if your using LR, that might be the issue...
@northy - i haven't used my lightroom as it intimidates me, and the one time i used it i lost the files in my card. they're probably somewhere in the nook and cranny of my laptop but the good thing was i had made a back up of those files. i use photoshop cc and elements and they do process raw files. anyhoo, my problem yesterday was i had inadvertently set my canon's image quality to just raw instead of raw+jpg, in my attempt to have a reduced jpg size for the sooc challenge. the nikon shots were fine but i had a 200mm lens with it. one thing i learned from yesterday, never trust the AF of any lens. today i used the 50 on my nikon and methinks i did well. thanks, kiddo.
