running late to the group session, as is the norm with me....
Originally posted by ehrwien Before I begin my first month, I've got some more questions:
1) In the FAQ there's a point about extra shots
That group seems to have died out in 2015, with little activity before. I've seen some flickr albums have more than 30/31 shots in them, do you just include any extra shots in the album there and post more than one in the thread for the day here?
funny - I never noticed the 'extra' group before...
Quote: 2) How about the general approach to editing? I know @'pepperberry farm' for example likes to use ooc (?) jpgs? I feel like I get the most out of my shots by processing the RAW files, which also allows me to be a little more lazy when it comes down to getting the exposure right in camera, and I generally underexpose most shots so they don't get ruined by overexposed highlights, so developing the RAWs is kind of a necessity to my approach. But in DxO I make use of whatever "lens corrections" it offers, so that might get in the way of getting to know the characteristics of a lens, which is kind of the point of this whole thing here, right?
So how do you all handle that, everybody like they prefer, do most try to get it right in-camera?
however you want to process your shots is up to you - there is no standard bearer, especially me....
Quote: 3) And all the commenting seems to happen right at Flickr?
yes - the daily thread here is just for the day's shot(s)
I've been working in the SIC since September 2015 - only days I've missed was the month my father passed away, but I've been here every day otherwise....
this is the perfect place to evaluate lenses and learn about your camera - I wholly believe in shooting every day is the way to learn your camera's features/functions and how to simply get better at photography...
