On my way home

There's a spot right in the middle of this shot. It's there cause I used my polarizing filter. Hmm.
I photographed our entire house today, I loved it.
I also shot in RAW, can you tell?

No?

Well I did, and I think this proves my point that shooting in RAW is pointless. You mess with these big files that move at the speed of a dead lice.
And at the end of the day you still have to covert them to .jpeg.

I edited this one in Lr cause I liked the way it looked better.
I tried UFRaw, I even used my own camera profile in the color profile, but the colors just looked under-exposed. At least to me.

I did learn one very cool thing today.
If you ever find yourself in a space where your umbrella doesn't fit and you don't have a white wall.

Use masking tape or painters tape, (so you don't rip the paint off the wall) and tape a piece of white poster board to the wall. Then just bounce your strobe off the poster board. Works like a charm.

For those who don't know, you have to bounce your strobe off something white else your light color/or rather temperature (cause light doesn't have a color) becomes a different temperature. If I had bounced my strobe off the yellow wall I'd have had a yellow light. And I didn't want that. If I wanted yellow light I wouldn't be using a strobe.
