Playing with Camera Raw

I've been playing with my camera today and have set it on to RAW to see whether I see much difference. I've also been shooting in manual (after doing the Moving into Manual class on BPS) and just generally playing around. Do I see much difference? At times I think I do. I've felt that some of the photos are sharper but whether that's just because I'm taking more time while I'm taking them and concentrating on my focus points etc., I don't know.

All these photos are taken using natural light (no flash) and just playing with the settings.

I love his colouring, markings and facial expressions ;o)
This afternoon I downloaded the Camera Raw 5.6 upgrade for Photoshop Elements 8 and installed it. I don't know how much difference there is between 5.5 (which is what Elements 8 came with) and 5.6 but I'll be playing around over the weekend to try and find out.

    I have had my "big" camera since November of last year and am still on automatic. I seriously need to take a class and move up a notch! Good for you for taking it to the next level!

  3. Well if you are talking about RAW, you are a good few steps ahead of me!! I think your photos are beautiful. Would you recommend the BPS class?

  5. I'll be looking forward to seeing what you think. I'm also curious to know what you thought about the class. I've given thought to shooting in RAW, but never tried it. I have been back on manual recently, and I do think it makes a difference.
