[Bobster]

[CMC]

Cock Robin Wood, Rugby @ noon

I'm sure this would be nicer close to sunset, but that's when the (ahem) doggers are there

[CMC]

ok so i tried the reversed lens macro thing again...

Lens on the camera 18-70mm, f4.5 @70mm, focused to infinity...

Held in from of the camera (reversed) 50mm prime lens, f1.8 focused to infinity...

but i get the lens on the photo....

doesn't look like your 50 is wide open..

[CMC]

the 50 was open as far as it goes, at 1.8... but i just tried it with my 70-300mm lens and the 50, and got more macro esque results, wee bit blurry because my hands were so shaky...

First time shooting RAW - enjoyed the results

First time shooting RAW - didn't take advantage of it

have to say none of those photos leap out at me..

In the eyes of a non-professional they look pretty good. Out of curiosity what is it about a photo that lets you determine that is benefited from RAW?

curious here to Bob - enjoyed your tips before. Still have the RAWs of course, so can always have another go. I'm early on the photography AND photoshop learning curve here!
