I'll start off with one recently shot on my grand estate near the lake. I call it 'Smoke On The Water' as in the song by Deep Purple.
Subject can be anything you like but photo must have been taken by you and must communicate atmosphere, please.

Thought of this one as well, although it is just a pic of a shiny car, it was a wonderful setting, typical of traveling through France/Belgium. :laugh:

....Hence proving, yet again, that sometimes you don't need the latest state-of-the-art all-singing-dancing camera gear to recognise a great shot and capture it.
If you have the latest-greatest gear but don't have 'the eye', it ain't gonna result in anything special.

^ Not the greatest pic technically but captures the atmosphere nonetheless.
No Photoshopping or manipulation, just a bit of sharpening, so 'au naturelle' but without hairy armpits.
Taken at the recent Hamps/Berks meet for Southern Shandy Drinkers on FinePix 200EXR compact.

I will have to ask my mate who took the pic if he has the original. He had only just took up digital photography and photoshopping when he did this - he has natural talent, but for some mad reason he's given it all up. :confused:

Personally I'm not a fan of lots of Photoshop effects. I think the skill and art is in capturing the subject as it is in reality. A bit of correction or removing a telegraph pole from your head is acceptable but not those unreal skyscapes unless, of course, the whole photo is strongly creating such an image.
My hope in starting this thread was that all posted pics would be by the original photographer and be minimal on the use of Photoshop, and most importantly, convey atmosphere - Not just a car portrait in a pretty landscape - There needs to be drama and atmosphere or strong mood.
There are some truly awesome pics posted in this thread :notworthy:

Not sure I agree with you - you still need a great starting point to photoshop it into something great.
When we went up into the hills to take the photo of my car we carefully chose the location, it was blowing a gale and the sky was dark and moody - the skill is in enhancing the photo, not creating something unreal. Then again, there are some amazing photos, many used in car marketing, that look real but are complete fantasy! Now that is also a skill.

I'm pretty sure that photo is HDR, so it is effectively a photography technique. I know what you're saying though, it does look unnatural, I do like it however.

Aha!!! You are not the first to think that, but I can confirm it is definitely NOT HDR - it was blowing a gale and there was no way even with a tripod that HDR was going to work. I will try and get the original off my mate.
ETA: Sorry, didn't realise that the picture had to be taken by me - but it is my car and I was there when it was took!

....Not a 'rule' but only my suggestion because otherwise anyone can trawl the internet and post atmospheric photos. A bit like our VAG Babes thread - There has to be a VAG car in the shot or something clearly VAG, otherwise there's just zillions of hot Babes.
For what it's worth, I feel happier knowing it's a member's car and you were there.
I agree about the Photoshop approach too... As long as the result is good.

I'm sure someone will come along and correct me but I am pretty sure you can do HDR from a single RAW file. Create 3 or 5 bracketed images and use Photshop/Photomatix to do the clever bit.

Yes and no, doing this is really cheating the system. By manipulating one raw image you are expanding on the dynamic range but you are not creating more image data, merely processing the single image. You can get some good looking HDR pictures in this way. Photomatix will process an HDR image in this way but for a true HDR image you need to be working off of different images, usually 3/4 bracketed shots this way you have additional image data over the 1 image that would otherwise be manipulated.
Hope that makes sense :signLOL:

"Loneliness" is only one interpretation. There's quite a sense of mysterious peace. "Alone" rather than loneliness, is what I see but I'm a huge optimist.
Strange how the figure is instantly recognisable as female and also a strong aura of woman. Proving that girlies can still look very feminine whatever they wear (providing they've got it in the first place). "Does my arse look too fat in this, darling?" is invariably what we guys hear.

The instant I saw that pic I went "Ooooh!" out loud. It reminds me of scenes in that VW 'Dream' advert on YouTube (see other thread).
Definitely the best atmosphere pic here so far which includes a GTI (though not strictly asked for).

Cheers, Robin :ashamed:
I took it this morning on the way home from night shift. Its been VERY fogy up here all day and I had the camera in the car and thought it was too good a opportunity to miss :smiley:

and I had the camera in the car and thought it was too good a opportunity to miss :smiley:
....I rarely go anywhere without my camera but it's made a lot easier having a compact digital (F200EXR FinePix). I'm determined to get a Leica X1 when I can and that's the biggest size I would accept.
-
I try to carry as often as possible, but my bag is quite bulky (Nikon D90 pluss 3 lens & filters) + tripod.
I've lost interest these last 3 months or so but I'm starting to get the feeling again :evilgrin:

Hopefully you've been inspired by this thread! :laugh:
Sometimes a break from it all is a good thing - It can mean you come back with a fresh perspective and fresh energy.
Yep, I remember the days of carrying around a bag (Nikon case) with 2 bodies and 3 lenses plus filters etc - Thank goodness for the digital compacts, but there's no question that the big Nikon and Canon digital pro cameras are awesome.

Lovin' that first shot, N! I can actually hear the primal scream of a performance engine motoring down that road! :notworthy:
Suggest you straighten it on the two strong verticals though.
Leica by any chance?

Yep, all three were using the Leica.

Leica FTW... id love one of those bad boys!
Love the night road shot.... :congrats:

....CmdrFire uses the Leica M9 mostly IIRC. I've recently seen their compact X1 and it's now on my list! You produce extremely good results even without a Leica, Rich :notworthy:
-
x2, M9, usually with a 50mm summilux. Before that I used an M8 mostly with a 28mm summicron. @Rich, M8 prices are rather good these days.. Red Dot Camera's got a couple hovering around the £1600 mark, which is outstanding for a camera of that quality.
-
^^^^
Aha! I take it that Red Dot is the Leica retailer you mentioned but had forgotten the name of.
Hmm, I just spotted the Leica D-Lux 5.. Even more compact than the X1 and has Macro plus all the exposure priority controls I seek.
-
Does this count as 'atmospheric'?

Actually, on further consideration your original shot still works very well, possibly better.

I like the landscape in the orginal eagle shot, Robin, it adds some context.
Incidentally, the "pose" the eagle is in makes that shot iconic. Hires?

It was taken on an airboat tour of the florida everglades, the guide told us the name/history of the bird but i wasnt concentrating as i had just blinded myself while trying to take that photo in direct sunlight.

....Well, the American Bald Eagle (national symbol of USA) came off the Endangered List a few years ago and is flourishing in Florida. The Harpy Eagle is still on it AFAIK but it's strictly a rainforest dweller (and hunts monkeys). Perhaps your guide was talking about the Bald Eagle's past. :smiley:
-
Found some info on the bird in the pics, although classed as an eagle its name is a Snail Kite:
Abundant in Latin America, Snail Kites in the U.S. are only found in Florida and are highly endangered.
Also called the Everglades Kite, they are one of the most specialized of all hawks. They feed almost exclusively on the apple snail.
Fewer than 900 birds and 400 mated pairs were recorded in 2007. When they were listed as endangered in 1967, there were fewer than 100 individuals; their population peaked in 1999 at around 3600

Has the bill of a Kite rather than heavier like an Eagle's but has the broader wing tips of an Eagle. Unusual.
Also, the barred feathers are more typical of Hawks and Buzzards.

Flag over USS Arizona Memorial

Cemetery not too far from the "Bridge over the River Kwai" in Thailand taken 6 years ago. What made it especially moving for me was the presence of a elderly gent who had been diagnosed with terminal Cancer and wanted to say goodbye to his brother and friends before he passed away. He had not been back to Thailand since being liberated.

This,believe it or not, (I certainly couldn't believe my eyes at the time!) is a shot I took out of my front window of a plane climbing out of Manchester Airport on a sunny spring evening. It seems to be a trick of perspective making the plane look like it's in a vertical climb! :surprised: The sunlight created a great effect on the contrails too! I thought I was in Cape Carnaveral (sp?) for a minute and watching a rocket launch! :grin: As a total novice I was really chuffed with this shot, which was taken with just a compact camera and was just down to being in the right place at the right time I think!

this time from the Ogwen Valley in Snowdonia, Wales (in less than ideal conditions I may add :happy2:)
Cheers Andrew
....Very much OK!!
Stunning atmospheres and I love the expansive sense of distance your compositions have created. They're classic landscape shots and the colouration is subtle too. Love 'em! :notworthy:
-
Cheers Robin, appreciated. :happy2:

They are great! 4 and 5 are my favourite... they tick all the boxes!

This thread really is superb fella's! :happy2:
Do I take it those shots are HDR?

Gee!! I just spotted a house in the middle of this shot by Andrew aka Norbreck. Wow!:

No Greeners, shot with ND soft graduation filters (0.7 & 1.0 ev) sometimes stacked.
Thanks for the compliments guys. Especially coming from Rich who is a very accomplished photographer himself. Don't know if you are like me Rich, but I'm my own worst critic :grin:

....It's only by being self critical that you can improve and make progress. The trick is knowing how not to be over critical of yourself but I'm guessing you already know that because otherwise you wouldn't have shared anything here!

@GazS3, Come on now, how am I supposed to compete with photos like that?! :grin: :congrats:
Still think mine is pretty good for a novice though, but any tips will be greatfully taken onboard! I've treated myself to a DSLR too, Sony A290 but I'm overwhelmed by all the Aperture and metering settings, I'd really like to know how to use the Manual mode properly but I've found some great sites to help me.

When I initially saw those shots I thought I was about to hear some music!
Actually I think that many of the pics posted in our thread here are better than in this Cafe del Mar vid.
One day I ought to make a slideshow from these pics and use some of my music. Hmm, am currently on second edit of a 8 minute song with Lauren a very much chilled sound called "Alpha State" which could be very suitable. I'll have a word with my co-producer Steve.

Your pond Robin? :happy2:
....Yes, my pond. I created it last June and suddenly spotted a couple of newts about a month ago. They're the rarer Palmate Newt. Wildlife ponds (no fish) are very addictive!

It's not very big but that means it's much easier to maintain. I've built a rockery around it planted solely with Alpine plants so there's minimum maintenance. Are you into ponds too?

Here's a few I took at the weekend just for Robin :happy2:

....Thanks :drinking: My whole garden looks very 'natural' with trees and long grass but it is 'maintained' so nothing gets totally out of control - It's just very wildlife friendly rather than preciously manicured - A bit like my hair!
Here's a snap I took this morning just as a record of the pond's current state. Each of the rocks has been individually *cough* acquired or rescued *cough* (but never from anyone's private garden) :

The green tray is for birds to drink and bathe. Used for bathing nearly every day by a Blackbird. The reward I get is hearing that Blackbird sing (she's called Beyonce.... I wish!).
The underwater Star Dome is THE nightspot for trendy newts in this neck of the woods.

The tram one is indeed a photoshop as I was really pee'd off I couldn't get it done right. Either way, still love it and got the result I wanted.
Here's another one at Sensoji Temple but without any editing :happy2:

^^^^
That one at Sensoji Temple is much better in my opinion. The tram pic doesn't look so real.
Personally I'm not a fan of over edited photos, especially unreal skies - It cheats on the very real beauty a natural sky can present and it's the photographer's job to capture that reality... In my opinion.

^ Large Red Damselfly (Pyrrohsoma nymphula) laying eggs in my wildlife (no fish) pond.
Not technically going to win any awards but a shot I'm pleased with using my compact digital (useless on Manual!) FinePix F200EXR. Kinda looks arty. I was amazed how unperturbed the Damsel was but then realised that if you were on the toilet (equivalent of squeezing out eggs) and someone stuck a camera in yer face you wouldn't really have much choice.
Any comments welcome.
Gonna post more pics from this session in my RR's Wildlife Portfolio thread.

Robin.... is your pond a wildlife (no fish) pond?? :P

I like the second shot the best as the lighting is more dramatic :smiley:

^ Shot on zoom with my FinePix F200 EXR digital compact. It's impossible to control the focus field because the aperture is either F 3.3 or 9.0 and nothing inbetween - It's not up to your pin-sharp standard, Rich. But it can fire gentle flash when Macro is set < Strange!
I keep thinking I want a better quality camera but being able to carry my camera in my pocket all the time does get me photos. I didn't see the incoming red flyer at the time of taking the shot - A happy accident.
The red strip is part of a photo I took of a newt in my pond at night and is a water lily leaf.

Incredible detail in that photo RR :congrats: Colour i can only dream of with my £75 Pentax jobbie from boots.

You've got every reason to be proud of that shot, mattchaps - Lovely composition and perfectly captures the atmosphere without overdoing it with artificial filters. I particularly love the light of the water's edge on the beach.

Thanks RR.
I met you a long time ago at one of the Tyresmoke meets with JimmyP and Dan. I was the young lad who was hungover and departed the meal early!

....Ah yes :happy2: - I think it was probably more of a BIALI meet than Tyresmoke but any meet of car enthusiasts is usually a good meet. I meet up with Dan very regularly, he's one of my best mates, but Jimmy has moved up north with a girlie.

....You say that but you have recognised the atmosphere and captured it. Okay, with a higher spec camera you probably would have got more out of the image but hey I've enjoyed it and it's very far from rubbish - Thanks for sharing. :happy2:
-
Thanks Red Robin :happy2:
I had a Pentax Optio M20 for a couple of years (£100ish ) which would take some surprisingly good shots for its price.
I dropped and smashed it recently, so replaced it with a similar spec Olympus which doesnt even come close to the quality of shots.
Your right tho its still just as rewarding capturing a good photo no-matter the quality of the camera :drinking:

I've had a Canon powershot for about 2 years, an ace digital camera, but not sure whether to go the whole hog for a DSLR just yet... :P

It's a bit grainy etc but I'm still very pleased with it. I fine tuned the shadows with Aperture (Apple's editor).

...."Your Best Atmospheric Shots" being the thread topic :happy2:
If I had a DSLR I doubt very much if I would have had it with me and been able to grab that moonscape shot :P.
It's interesting what the DSLR vs Compact compromises are: Obviously the superior technical quality of the DSLR but I am more of an artist than a technician. Different horses for different courses. As you already know, I greatly admire your skills and your high technical quality approach. If I had your camera gear I'd doubtless seek more technical perfection but I enjoy what I achieve.
-
My comment was made because I know your thoughts re: dslr/compact, and it was a little bit tongue in cheek because in terms of 'vibe' your photo is great. A DSLR can't help you with feel and vibe, Just like £5k microphone can't make you sound like Stevie Wonder.

^ Monument Valley, 1998 - I don't remember which camera. Note the silver car and you can then appreciate the scale.
It's a much photographed place for obvious reasons. One of my favourite places to the extent that I'd be happy to have my ashes spread there.
Was spending some time with Injun friends and was advised to visit early morning - Best lighting at either end of the day but less tourists in the early morning.

Wonderful robin. Great composition, colour and exposure.
I've never been but looks every bit as impressive as the grand canyon.

The Grand Canyon is such a massive scale that it's critical what time of day you visit (lighting again) and it's good to go down into it if you have time. Again, I prefer Canyon De Chelly - It's on Rez and less well known, and much smaller! Great acoustics for tooting the floot but I think you'd scare the natives with the 'bone! And don't even think of playing Tony Christie numbers there!

Tom, it's up to you of course but your pics would present themselves better on the page if you put a space between each one. Just my opinion. :happy2:
We've got some very talented pic takers on this forum (and some talented piss takers too :laugh:)

It really was one of those "spur of the moment" pics.

A spontaneous shot without much time to spend on it - I was walking with a German friend over a bridge and recognised it was worth a shot.

Cheers guys. It's all about the light - and a bit of post-production :wink: I was lucky to catch a nice sunset. Used a speedlight at camera right to add some light on the front and side. A few suble tweaks in photoshop and that was it. I took a load more earlier at a different location but they didn't work anywhere near as well.

That's a lovely shot, Jake - Great colour combinations, subtle and not over Photoshop'd. :happy2:

Not picked up the camera for months :( but I did take it to work last week to get a quick sunrise shot before the clocks change :)

I agree with you, B3n - It's not always about pristine and perfect exposures and pin-sharp focus etc, but just as much about capturing the moment and atmosphere.

Nope! You might be surprised to hear it's much closer to home, Köyceğiz Lake near Dalyan in Turkey. As you say, a beautiful, tranquil spot. I went for a 2 week holiday last year. I went across the lake on a day trip from Dalyan, swam in the water, very good medicine for the mind and soul! Dalyan is well known for it's natural mud baths and thermal hot springs on the lake shore, ancient Lycian rock tombs cut into the cliff face opposite Dalyan town (which are lit up at night to great effect), a stunningly beautiful beach set in a nature reserve to allow nesting sea turtles to breed (development is completely prohibited, hence the stunning natural beauty of the place), archaeological remains of an ancient capital sea port complete with amphitheatre, the list goes on! Highly recommended for a 'chill' holiday!

Damo, those are brilliant shots anyway! :congrats: :congrats: :congrats: :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:
They capture the lighting and atmosphere and prove that it's not just great camera gear that gets the shot. In some ways, these images may be better due to what you used.

....As a keen photog you are naturally forever being self critical and it's right that you should do so. Otherwise, how else do you improve. However, when others look at your images they don't neccessarily do so in such a technical photographic way. As you probably know, I'm a retired professional Graphic Designer and Art Director and have worked with (directed) some pretty famous photographers and so I have a critical eye. Believe me, when I say that even though you know these shots could be improved, they are seriously good - You really have captured and conveyed the atmosphere and scene. I particularly love the colour too. The third shot is the weakest of the three IMO and the first pic is the best.
I see these shots as images rather than pin sharp technical photos. They communicate what was going on and that, for me, is what it's all about - Capturing it and sharing. It's also why I started this thread - Not as who could post the 'best' shot technically.
Having photographed a few gigs in my time, even from the front row centre with being official permits, I can tell you that sometimes using a pro camera means that you miss out on the actual gig because you are so focussed and glued to that small black window of a viewfinder (old tech 35mm SLR Nikons etc).

Fabulous shots, Nige! Not just technically good and sharp but lovely rich colour and an eye for composition. Captured the animals well too. :notworthy:

Would love to take all the praise chaps - but I have to give most of it to Mr Nikon and his D90 - and of course the legendary VR system.
Here's a couple of low light shots taken without flash and hand held!! by way of a couple of examples F4.5 @ 1/30 Sec with Iso 1250

Milarrochy Bay Camp site, Ben :happy2:
Edit:
Put 56.100015,-4.56372 into google maps and thats exactly where it was taken from :wink:
-
The photos are just :drool: i'd put Loch Lomond up there alongside St Lucia, Turkey, America or anywhere in the world. Photographers heaven!
Would have PM'd you but I haven't earned my rights yet because funnily enough, my mum is from South Shields! She worked as a life guard in the hut you took a snap of further back in this thread. Its a small world... When you have a few years to go back :signLOL:
-
^^^^
I'm going to be brutally frank and say I'm not loving those Loch Lomond pics - They just look a bit too much Photoshop'd for my taste. But please tell me I'm wrong and the scenes really do look like that and I will revise what is only my personal opinion.
:happy2:
-
Slow shutter speed - win. I doubt they have been photoshopped too much
-
Tut tut, Robin. You think I would photoshop a pic to look like that and post it in here :surprised:
As R444WRR said, I used a 25 second shutter (the shutter stayed open for 25s) for both pics :happy2:

WOW!! I know I keep wow-ing many of the pics in this thread but that last one of the waterfall and bleeding rock is exceptional. The rockfall looks like crystals.
Is this in Cornwall near Land's End? A bay with rocks of incredible colours? I visited there many moons ago (as a Werewolf!).

^^^^^^^^^
Thanks robin
All pictures were taken from a recent few days away on jersey, a cracking place for a out of season short break great beaches and cliffs for walking, generaly slightly better climate than the uk, only a 40minute flight (from gatwick), excellent restaurants (excellent sea food being a small island) and nice cosy pubs.
Picture 1: was at one of jersey's reservoirs
Picture 2: was the beach at st ouen's bay looking back at corbiere lighthouse
Picture 3: was taken at st helier (jersey's capital looking out to elisabeth castle and was pretty much the view from our hotel room)
Picture 4: the waterfall was taken at plemont bay and shows of the lovely pink granite that jersey is made up of. I've been visiting jersey on and off for 10years and have been to that bay many times but its the first time I've been in those caves and seen the waterfall, I think all the recent rain helped make it all the more spectacular.
Must just say I love that this forum is so much more than just about our cars :happy2:

^^ Which shot do you photogs prefer? ^^
At this time of year the sun is very low and so the camera more often confronts having to be shot into the sun and all the uncontrollable* play of lighting artifacts and effects on the result. Advice for the average amateur snapper is never to take photos into the sun. However, ignore such advice from the 'experts' and the results can add drama and, in this case, atmosphere, and that's what this thread is all about. In this photo I personally like the blue hex which draws your eye into the perspective and the 'rays' of light and dark parts. Such artifacts are not usually desirable when photographing cars or many other subjects.
*I say "uncontrollable" but if you manage to see enough of the image through the viewfinder/screen you can slightly move your camera position and angle (more critical) to place these lighting effects to your advantage.
I shot this on my only camera, a Fuji FinePix F500EXR 16mega compact digital which is invariably on me everytime I go outdoors anywhere, even to take out the dustbin. As I have said many times, I accept its limitations but it has the one very great advantage of being easily pocketable and portable, meaning that I don't experience many of those moments when I wish I had a camera to capture and share this and I don't have a camera to hand. Mr Woodpecker in my garden is still too fast for me though! Should I go back over 50 years when I was only 10yo, and before I was interested in girls, and build a hide from cardboard boxes in the garden to watch birds, thinking naively that they didn't know I was there. In those days I had a plastic Kodak Box Brownie with roll film - I knew the right people and even photographed the likes of Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart, Jim Clark, etc with pit passes to F1 races at Silverstone. I wish I still had the negs or photos!
For those more technically interested, I shot this at ISO 100, 4.4mm, f/3.5, 1/800.

....Auto mode is a good way to become more familiar with how your DSLR feels and handles at first. Modern cameras seem to have zillions of settings and the trick is to analyse your efforts after uploading to see your settings data and learn from what worked well and what didn't.
Starting off with Auto modes also gives you confidence and stops you from thinking that you have just spent hundreds or thousands of pounds on something you are rubbish at!
The bottom line though, is do you 'have the eye'? Some guys do, TopCat for example, and others have a more scientific and unemotional approach, which personally I don't much like, but all that matters is what YOU like.

^ My first ever photo on my new DSLR + zoom lens last Saturday.
I have to rather immodestly say that I'm pleased with it. The camera enabled me to capture exactly what I saw and wanted to later share. No cropping or post-processing.

....Thanks, Ian - That's praise indeed coming from another photographer.
I agree, I'm not a lunar togger, just a loony togger, but a full moon tends to look more like a disc than the globe that it is. I got lucky in that my shot is at a very globular (globby?) stage.
However, I expect that those folks with specialist astro gear can present a full moon which also looks globular.

Very nice. When you say 3:08 PM this afternoon! does this mean it hasn't appeared yet and you are guessing what it will look like. :signLOL:

....I'm so surprised you haven't got a tripod (or monopod), TC. [Not at all surprised about you leaving on the lens cap though :evilgrin:]
If you don't do so already, shoot RAW - It's easier to both rescue or enhance a shot if you need to. The less post editing the better is my approach but sometimes you have to try to polish the turd. Downside is mega big files.
IIRC you use Apple's Aperture, as do I since having my DSLR in December. if not, Adobe Lightroom is very well thought of among toggers.
-
I don't see any point in shooting RAW Robin, I have no intention of using my pictures for prints any time soon and you have to be an expert to notice the quality deterioration between RAW and JPEG. Even heavily cropped shots don't really show up on tinternet. I use Aperture like you. Try taking a pic in both JPEG high quality and RAW then magnify the focus point 100 times you won't see any difference. It is only when you start printing that you need to be looking at RAW in my opinion.

....Although that is true, the reason I prefer RAW is that the files have far more data - Much less of the captured data is lost directly from the camera body's sensor. The reason I prefer the option of holding that data is that it's far easier to enhance an image after uploading. Aperture has good RAW fine tuning and IF you need to go further then save a 16-bit TIFF and edit further in Photoshop. You can Save-for-Web as a JPEG or at any stage which suits you.
It can depend on the photographic subject too - The finer details of bird plumage and Dragonfly wings etc etc are beneficial to enhance and when needed make corrections to. You might have captured a really great unrepeatable moment but the image leaves much to be desired but then editing in RAW might just rescue it.... or not! Et voila, you have a 65Mb file!
I started off with my DSLR in December and shot everything in both JPEG and RAW, then only JPEG and shot a couple of images which I loved but needed editing and was limited. So, encouraged and advised by a few serious and pro toggers I now only shoot RAW (and now need a mahoosive external HD to store them on!).
I guess that discovering what a modern digital camera is actually capturing encourages me to exploit it even though I have yet to print a photo! My images are all for online use so far. A couple of people (who really don't know any better) have suggested I produce a wildlife calendar but they obviously haven't fully appreciated the standard of what's out there!
However, the bottom line is the 'workflow' (or 'playflow') which each of us enjoys the most and we are all different.
I'd be interested in what both Ian (Hedge) and Rich (wig) think about shooting in RAW. Also the views of other serious photographers here, especially professionals.
