Btw Brian... if you happen to take any more shots from the Falls area or even up your way in Ashburn, I'd really be interested in seeing them.
Thanx-

Well raw pictures are ment to be adjusted in photoshop. If you want to have pictures straight from the camera, take them so they are automatically converted to jpegs.

When I take pictures in raw, I get the blah look. But then I can adjust them in photoshop and really bring them to life. You can do that with jpeg photos as well, but it works better with raw.

Yeah, I got rid of the Z a few months ago for something a little more practical for my new crappy life as a commuter. It wasn't bad driving the Z 15 miles to work, but when I had to go 30 miles...or 1.5 hours in NoVa speak...it kinda sucked. The new car is a 2005 Acurs RSX, base model, auto with the sport shift. It's actually a fun little ride. Great on gas mileage, has a nice interior, leather, sunroof, etc. Oh, and my girlfriend has a pristine 2002 WS6 in the garage, so I still have that to play with when the need arises.


To everyone else - thanks for the kind words. I accidently lost my pics from out at Great Falls when I built my new computer...but I'll be sure to get more from all around the area in the coming months.. I love this new camera very much, and it's pretty much become my new hobby
