My Newest Toy

So I was VERY disappointed in myself. I had taken pictures of Nik eating raspberries outside and then once we got in the car I wanted to get his messy face and he decided to do a mini photo shoot for me! Sadly I had the camera on the wrong shutter speed for being inside the car! :-( So I thought oh well....chalk it up for a stupid mistake. But on the photography message board they were talking about this noiseware program that would save pictures that had TONS of noise. So I decided to try for a trial. I tried one picture and it save the picture so wonderful that I showed John and he decided that I could get the program! Woo hoo!! More cute pictures on the Olson blog!!

Fixed (Both in Raw and Noiseware Software)


Tried to fix with Raw....still kind of blah!!

All right I'm skipping my own challenge!

Instead I've been debating about going RAW. So I decided to do a test. I took pictures in both Raw and Jpeg (same shot) to see how it would work. Now you need to have a good post processing program to use Raw (I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 but it works on Adobe Photo Elements 3 and 4 too) you just need to make sure that you have ACR (Adobe Camera Raw- which if you don't have is an free download) When you first take a picture in Raw you'll be disappointed because it might be to dark or to light. But the neat thing is that you are able to edit you picture in ACR (make it dark lighter, adjust the colors all without compressing or ruining the picture) (Everytime you play with a picture in jpeg you are compressing and damaging the pixels so that the picture could turn out mucky) Well here are my three shots. The first picture was the Jpeg shot that the camera decided was the right colors and actually whited out the picture (I was very sad and I had I just shot in Jpeg that shot would have been thrown away) The second one is the picture is straight out of the camera Raw (well except that I had to convert to JPEG). The third picture was the one that I edited through Photshop and it was all in raw until at the very end I converted it to Jpeg (so that way I can put it online and also so I can print it) I absolutely love this picture! :-) (I totally am keeping it and posting it on the other blog too!!)
Picture # 1 (Jpeg - camera fixed)
Picture # 2 (Raw- no fixes just turn to jpeg)
Picture # 3 (Small adjustments on ACR)
